Species

The following is a list of intelligent species known to inhabit Narus. While the Araxi and Lyrac aren't usually considered sapient, members of their species have shown signs of a higher intelligence, and so they are listed here.

Names of species are taken from their Human names, which were found in the codices of Habitats. Due to wear on installations, most names would be incomplete and missing letters. Thus, many names are not accurate to their old Human ones.

## Extinct Species

### Chamael

The Chamael were a species of lizard-folk that lived alongside the Lepus on the Domunian Peninsula, primarily in Isara. Heavy losses during the Montiac Civil War followed by the collapse of Isara led to the species extinction, with the last known sighting in ME 88.
