Littergie

== Description ==
=== Appearance ===
Littergies (Li-tur-jee) are really small bugs. Its body is almost exactly like a beetle's body, with a few exceptions. It has a shell that has swirly colors of red, purple, green, and blue. Littergies have six legs like any other beetle would. Littergies may be small, but they can do impressive things. If it eats enough grass, then it can create a deflecting forcefield that is twenty feet in each direction and lasts one minute before fading away.
=== Diet ===
Littergies almost always eat grass, but will eat nearly any other plant if pushed to the point of starvation. It will even eat off the scraps of other plant creatures, like a pifglig's petals or kragnia flowers. Grass is it's favorite thing to eat because that's what helps make the forcefields. If a littergie has not been eating enough grass, their forcefields may either be easy to break or won't conjure at all.
=== Habitat ===
Littergies are normally found in old hollow logs that are in marshes. They always take advantage if there is a pifglig in the marsh. Otherwise, they may travel to forests or plains to find unguarded pifgligs. They like to spend time with their families if Evernary hasn't called them, or if they are tired of taking down pifgligs. They never go in cave places, since one drop of water can have them endangered because they are so small.
=== Friends/Enemies ===
Littergies are part of the psychic bug trio, along with litterjoy and litterjue. Littergies are good creatures. Littergies and the rest of the psychic bug trio attack pifgligs a lot since pifgligs can't move from their spot, and that gives littergies an advantage. Since littergies are related to spacerin, they spend some time together. They like to hang out on ablumists as well to spy with them. 
== Lore ==
=== Origin ===
Littergies were not created by Evernary, Yanth, or Xing, but instead were created by beetles eating a (future creature here), gaining powers, and setting off on their own to do their own thing. Because of this, while most of them are good, a few have their own agenda and don't help Evernary. These were created very similarly to litterjoys and littergues, except they were created from eating different plants.
=== Prophecy ===
Since littergies were not created directly by a creature in the Mythical Trio, there isn't very much known about them in the prophecy. However, a group of littergies, along with litterjoys and litterjues, will go rogue and help neither side. The bugs in this group are called lottergies, lotterjoys, and lotterjues. They will be a hindrance to both sides, but will not participate in the Great War. Because of this, it is possible more bugs in this group may survive than the regular version.
== Magic ==
Littergies technically do have innate magic, being able to create a forcefield, but this is the only spell they are good at at birth. A few have learned magic, and it is not very rare for a littergie to try and learn some other magic. The reason most littergies don't try to learn magic is because they don't want to be noticeable, and it is against most littergie's lifestyles.
