What are Gleebs?
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Gleebs are an original species made by Opossumarson!
They are small creatures that are made of magic and hail from an unnamed planet in a different timeline. They had gotten to earth by an rip they had intentionally made in the fabric of time. The Gleebs did this to broaden their materials, trade routes, and for more social opportunities. Gleebs are very social creatures and much prefer to make alliances and friends rather than enemies.
Gleebs are incredibly intelligent and have their own cities on their home planet. Their society shares some similarities to human life on earth. They have jobs, hobbies, trends, and cultures. Though Gleebs are far more peaceful than humans.
Don't take their peaceful resolve for weakness though! Gleebs are very dangerous when they want to be, being able to wield magic and being super durable. Due to being made of magic, or as they call it glamic, they have no bone or organs. Their skin while seeming thin and soft is stretchy and hard to pierce. Even when wounded they can heal quickly either by their own glamic or going to a Gleeb with healing glamic.

Gleeb anatomy info and rules!

Glamic is what makes a Gleeb and Gleeb! They are made of it and can use in day to day life. There are many different types of glamic. All gleebs are born with glamic but some are unable to fully use it. These gleebs usually get enchanted clothing or jewelry which helps enhance their glamic abilities.
The most common are healing, nature, fire, water, ice, illusion, and alteration. Some least common ones are enchanting, poison, transmutation, wind, and necromancy. Necromancy isn't actually frowned upon like in most media. It's heavily revered as a sign of good luck and second chances. They are used as a voice for the dead and usually end up in practices that involve laying the dead to rest.
Their whole being is completely made of glamic. They have no genitals, bones, organs, or mouths! They have a 'soul' which is what holds their consciousness and the 'pit' which is where anything consumed goes. No human science can determine how it works due to it being otherworldly.
Since the gleebs have no mouths they communicate in a very unique way. Telepathy! They speak through projecting their words to everyone around them. It's identical to speaking, when they are using telepathy they are basically speaking aloud. If a gleeb is talking in public everyone within a ears reach can hear them. They can alter how loud this telepathy is which means they can whisper. This telepathy works on all sentient creatures like humans and other species on their home planet. Gleebs, no matter the language barrier, can communicate with everyone due to technically not having a language themselves. Their telepathy naturally adapts to whatever language is needed though it has been recorded that some gleebs will pick up accents from others and this accent will carry over through all languages.
The soul is how a gleeb is made. With the blood, skin, tears, or fur of two gleeb and a bit of glamic a soul can be formed. The soul will be placed in a cradle or nest until the body start to form. The soul is incredibly vulnerable in this state and is always being guarded by a parent or someone close to the parents.
It takes two weeks for the soul to form a body and when it does its officially called a mleep! Mleeps are the offspring of gleebs and are still very vulnerable. Only being able to use their telepathy to eat. Mleeps are tiny only being the size of a softball when first formed. They are always white or cream in color along with being blind and deaf. Once a month passes the mleep will start to develop their colors, glamic abilities, and personalities. If the mleep ends up being hairless or scaled they will shed their fur during this process.
Gleebs usually are around 3 to 5 feet tall but have been recorded up to 5'5 and 2 feet. Their size can change through life due to emotions, illnesses, and glamic strength.
Gleebs come in a variety of shapes, sizes, colors, and textures! Some can be completely hairless and some can be scaled. They can have wings but they can never be bigger than the length of the body. They can have a variety of horns and antlers that con come in infinite colors and shapes. They can also have any ear shape, nose shape, and tail shape along with having multiple of any of them. The only things gleebs can't have are bones, organs, and mouths but with the use on illusion glamic they can make false bones for aesthetics. Gleebs can also have paw pads, claws, avian features, aquatic features, and reptilian features.
