Types of Neheburs from the Magic of Dawn series by Leah Dougherty
Ambiguous Neheburs are simply Neheburs that cannot be classified as bestial, undead, fae, voidling, or leoht.
Bold means they live for over three centuries on average.
Mims: Blobs of raw magic condensed into a goo-like form. Mims rarely reveal this true form. Upon birth, they will typically mimic a nearby living creature, able to perfectly replicate their outer appearances.
Shishi: Created by humans from stone and precious ores, shishi are born to protect. They only come alive centuries after their maker has passed, and are unable to reproduce on their own. Shishis are always made in pairs, and usually take the form of a massive stone lion.
Gargoyles: Created by humans from stone and precious ores, gargoyles are born to protect. They only come alive centuries after their maker has passed, and are unable to reproduce with their own kind.
Vells: Described by humans as a disturbed crossover between a poisonous flower and a human child, these Neheburs naturally produce a powerful hallucinogenic when under stress.
Dwaervahn: All dwaervahn (also known as dwarves) have a powerful connection with the under ground. Born as three distinct kinds, all dwaervahn hail from their main kingdom, Drav’more. Dark - Black and gray skin with empty eye sockets, these short but powerful people thrive in darkness. Light - With skin the colors of ores and empty eye sockets that glow with light, these magically gifted people are able to weave light. Magma - Born from pools of magma their beards are contained magma, and their eyes burn like fire.
Umbralugals: Reclusive in nature, little is known about these Neheburs except for the fact that they are created when enough Orange Magic is focused in one area for a prolonged period. With a squid-like head (no eyes), tentacles for arms, a long snake-like body, and a massive split down the center of their head to reveal a gaping mouth lined with hundreds of teeth, these creatures can come off as frightening entities. It is rare for one to be seen in a populated area, as they have shown to prefer complete isolation.
Harpies: A cross between a human and a bird, with a minor thrall in their voice that can be used to petrify lesser creatures.
