Born in Astera, raised in Seliana, and socialized much like a Gajalaka. Love you, little lizard boy.

The Shadow Wizards of the Day are Gajalakas from Monster Hunter World!

Descended from a lesser Wyrm, Lynians are a diverse genus that are a staple of hunting culture. Their sapience and high intelligence set them apart from other small monsters, and Lynians can become high-ranking leaders in the Hunter's Guild, or legendary hunters/handlers. They are often grouped into two categories- Beastbugs and Felynes.

Beastbugs are typically aloof from bug and hunter society. The species has yet to master fluency in Common, so Felynes often work as translators between Beastbugs and civilized insects. The structure of their society differs from locale to locale, with solitary individuals found in temperate climates, and large nomadic groups in both hot and cold deserts.

As Beastbugs' main form of defense against predation are rudimentary weapons, they've evolved to have Mosscreep-like traits that allow them to camouflage themselves by attaching debris to their shell through their sticky saliva.

They are highly attuned to magic and soul through the fine fuzz that covers their moth-esque antennae.

Depending on where you are in the world, Beastbugs may have a name unique to the area- such as the Boaboa of the Glacial Wall, or the Shakalaka of the southern Patternlands.

Felynes, on the other hand have embraced bug society, and are commonly participants in it, especially in aspects relating to hunting and researching monsters.

The most "domesticated" of the species, Palicoes, can easily speak the common tongue, and have the rights of any other bug, although they are commonly infantilized for their small size and childish manner of speech. They are typically very chatty and loyal.

Melynx are incredibly similar to Palicoes- albeit they tend to stay away from hunting culture and keep to themselves. Their shell tends to possess high-contrast patterns in comparison to the more subtle and natural tones of a Palico's.

Grimalkynes are the closest of the Felynes to the original form of their Wyrm progenitor. Sporting bright colors, and a soft, supple shell, they are very flexible and agile.

Unlike all other Lynians, they do not have eyes, instead having an acute sense of hearing and strong Tremorsense. Their skin is able to secrete a liquid similar to the saliva of Beastbugs that allow them to climb with incredible speed. Their culture is split between living among common bugs and continuing to live in family-groups in the wilds.

Although commonly passed over for roles of importance, it's always good thing to have a Grimalkyne by one's side.

Day 16- Tailraider I chose gajalaka for this theme. As annoying as they are as enemies, they’re pretty helpful as companions with you and your pawtner. #monsterhunter #monhun #gajalaka #grimalkyne #モンハン　#がジャブー　#watercolor #painting #monhunoftheday #inktober #paintober https://www.instagram.com/p/B3tOBCVjWNs/?igshid=2mjrs2s6at5x

(Ko-Fi Goal) Monster Hunter: Lynian (Palico) Race v1.00.  D&D 5e Player Race

Some time ago I set up my Ko-Fi account and set the first goal (20 coffees) to be the rules for a Monster Hunter World Palico player race.  I hit that last month (thanks especially to generous donations from my Wednesday D&D Campaign’s players) and so here they are!

Lynians!  Specifically the Felynes/Palicoes, Grimalkyne, and Gajalaka (I focused on Monster Hunter World’s cats).  With some helpful/disruptive abilities you might recognize from World.  One big thing I’m especially worried about is that they have a burrow speed, seems like that could lead to all sorts of shenanigans but... well, I couldn’t very well leave that ability out.  (I recommend balancing it by the fact they’re basically blind underground, thanks to no tremorsense).

Always keep in mind too that the feat Monster Whisperer just lets you talk to the monsters and understand them, it doesn’t mean they have anything important to say or that they won’t still eat you.  But who knows, maybe you’ll tame a Jagra.

(Next Ko-Fi goal will be a Dark Souls: Undead player race, the hollowing variety.)
