Good catch! Forgot to add them last night ^^;

Tithonites are insect/arachnid/mollusc  people, and they fall under 2 categories: Monstrous and Mythical

The Spider girl in chapter 2 was a Monstrous Tithonite, with a large traditionally frightening form and features. You’ll also see in Chapter 3 at the Library two butterfly Tithonites, who are the size of wine glasses but with traditionally beautiful bodies.

Equally, a spider Tithonite could have a Mythical form and appear beautiful, whereas a butterfly Tithonite could appear monstrous. There’s a larger amount of Mythicals to Monsterous, but it’s around a 70/30 split.

Creatureborn, Aquafolk and Tithonite magic manifests all in slightly different ways too.

Creatureborn magic is always associated with the animal they’re based on. Canines are speedy and have good hearing, Avians are light with good eyesight, an Equine would be strong with high stamina etc

Aquafolk have a more ‘fantastical’ magic manifesting in water manipulation- be it telekinesis, boiling, freezing or creation

Tithonite magic is also based on their animal form, but with a fantastical twist. Spider Girl could create webbing, but said webbing was enchanted to tighten on contact with objects. A firefly Tithonite would have the ability to glow, but could then manifest that glow as an orb that can exist away from their body.

Thanks for the question!

I fully intend to draw all the races in my Urchin Quest world, but a quick thing to show differences between two of the ANIMAL themed races

Creatureborn- a humanoid with mammal/avian/amphibious/reptilian features. Ragamuffin and Sweeper are both Creatureborn, with Rags being Canine and Sweeps being Avian. Unless the animal in its original form is legless (snakes) all creature born are standard humanoid sized with standard humanoid arrangements.

Aquafolk- a person with fish features. The Aquafolk exist on a WIDE spectrum. Some are like Scallywag- humanoid with fish features. Some can range all the way back to their original fish form, but with the same higher intelligence. Some are humanoid but tiny- like seahorses. Some are half and half. Some are huge. The rules seem almost random, but in reality it’s a complex series of genetics- since aquafolk are a much older race than creature born.
