Yuki-Onna

Classification: Elemental Average Height: N/A Build: N/A Diet: Thermovore Innate Magic: Amorphous form, temperature manipulation Life Expectancy: N/A

"Beings of air and water, most yuki-onna prefer to spread their bodies across wide area, manifesting as living snow storms. Should they have need of hands or legs, they can form bodies of snow and ice, but rarely commit their entire mass to such shapes. Yuki-onna sustain themselves by absorbing heat, but counterintuitively do not withstand high temperatures well. A flame is harmful to the yuki-onna, but the warmth of a living body is an ideal meal." --Prof. Edwin Corridge, Henneswy Society of Biological Sciences

Phoenix

Classification: Elemental Average Height: N/A Build: N/A Diet: Osteophage in youth, xylophage in maturity Innate Magic: Amorphous form, life magic Life Expectancy: N/A

"The phoenix is a being of living flame, best known for their capacity for rebirth. If a phoenix's flames are extinguished, and their ashes are not too badly scattered, embers will begin to kindle among those ashes. If these embers can ignite a proper flame, the phoenix can be reborn--although, in this stage of their life, they behave just as an inanimate fire would, and most have reported that their memories of these periods are fuzzy. It is unclear how conscious a phoenix is in this state. Equally unclear is what part bone plays in their rejuvenation, but they must consume some amount of it before they can regain control of their form and faculties. Once restored, a phoenix--like most elementals--has full control over their form, but many have reported an instinctive comfort in winged or fully avian forms. In addition to their own resurrection, phoenixes wield innate magic that can accelerate the healing of wounds and the growth of plants." --Prof. Edwin Corridge, Henneswy Society of Biological Sciences

Tyber

Classification: Beastkin Average Height: 6'9" Build: Bipedal, digitigrade Diet: Carnivore Innate Magic: None Life Expectancy: 44 years

"Tybers are large felines native to Othyria, possessed of both tremendous strength and remarkable agility. Despite their imposing physiques, they are descended from ambush predators; they do not have the stamina for long periods of exertion and require a great deal of sleep to function. Tybers have keen senses of smell and hearing, as well as exceptional night vision." --Prof. Edwin Corridge, Henneswy Society of Biological Sciences

Orc

Classification: Beastkin Average Height: 7'1" Build: Bipedal, unguligrade Diet: Omnivore Innate Magic: None Life Expectancy: 37 years

"Orcs are believed to have originated in Henneswy, where they descended from boars. They are among the largest of all beastkin, famed for their strength, their tough, leathery hides, and their impressive tusks. Often overlooked is the orc's exceptional sense of smell, every bit the match of any canine, though their eyesight is a bit dim." --Prof. Edwin Corridge, Henneswy Society of Biological Sciences

Goblin

Classification: Beastkin Average Height: 4'2" Build: Bipedal, plantigrade Diet: Omnivore Innate Magic: None Life Expectancy: 42 years

"Goblins are a race native to modern-day Mordaneux, where they descended from burrowing chiroptera. Their claws are quite effective in both digging and climbing, and while they do not possess the ability of flight, having grown too large for it, they still possess wing membranes, which can be folded up when not in use or extended to allow for limited gliding. As with most bats, they possess sharp hearing and are capable of echolocation." --Prof. Edwin Corridge, Henneswy Society of Biological Sciences

Elf

Classification: Fae Average Height: 6'1" Build: Bipedal, digitigrade Diet: Carnivore Innate Magic: Illusions Life Expectancy: 837 years

"Elves are believed to have descended from small felines in the woods of western Henneswy. They are possessed of a keen sense of smell, hearing, an exceptional kinesthetic sense, and strong night vision. However they are best known for their innate ability to manipulate light and manifest illusionary images. Elves suffer from poor stamina and immune systems, and are slow to recuperate from injury or illness." --Prof. Edwin Corridge, Henneswy Society of Biological Sciences

Yutun

Classification: Beastkin Average Height: 5'2", excluding ears Build: Bipedal, plantigrade Diet: Herbivore Innate Magic: None Life Expectancy: 38 years

"Yutun originated in Hanguo, where they are believed to have descended from mountain hares. They have maintained their ancestors' keen hearing and quick reflexes, and are natural sprinters and leapers. They are considered rather frail, lacking in the strength, stamina, and sturdiness that many other beastkin are known for." --Prof. Edwin Corridge, Henneswy Society of Biological Sciences

Human

Classification: Beastkin Average Height: 5'7" Build: Bipedal, plantigrade Diet: Omnivore Innate Magic: None Life Expectancy: 61 years

"Humans are believed to originate in or around modern-day Tuwanchi, being descended from arboreal hominids. Modern humans may be more associated with the open plains, but those who dwell in wooded areas often still demonstrate a remarkable climbing prowess. Though humans may appear unassuming, and many see their most notable traits as their deficiencies--their poor reflexes, or their lackluster sense of smell or hearing--we must not overlook the resilience and adaptability that has allowed humans to thrive across multiple continents. They possess exceptional stamina and recuperative abilities, and though of course individual tolerances vary, as a species they have adjusted to a wide variety of climates and temperatures." --Prof. Edwin Corridge, Henneswy Society of Biological Sciences
