Bestiary/Demi Humans

List of Demi Humans information

## Flame Salamander

A species of Demi-Human which bodies slightly covered in red scales, their skin is usually pale orange, and their eyes are between gold, orange, and red. They possess human-like appearance outside of their large hands, which are covered in scales, four strong fingers, and large white claws that can crush rocks with ease. Males have two small horns on their foreheads, while women lack this feature.

They have long tails covered in scales that are covered in a thin layer of flames, however, this fire can be controlled by the Salamanders and its not an ordinary fire that can easily set ablaze fabric or wood, this fire is special and does not harm other living beings and represents the Salamander's emotions. If the fire is small, the Salamander will probably be saddened, depressed, or very fatigued, and if it's blazing with energy, the Salamander is happy and full of enthusiasm.

Flame Salamander (Demi-Human) are descendants of the Ancient Dragons who once roamed Genesis and then ascended to godhood. Fire Salamander, who are monsters, are capable of evolving into this race of Demi-Human, but to that, they need high intelligence, almost the same as humans, and something like that is almost impossible to happen outside of the Grand Forest, where various species of monsters possess human-like intelligence and emotions.

Flame Salamanders have long lifespans, reaching up to three hundred years, if they manage to evolve into higher races, they can live up to five hundred years.

## Centaurs

A race of demi-human with the upper half of a strong human and the lower half of a horse, its subspecies, or other quadrupedal creatures, mostly mammals.

They were born after the Great Goddess of Beasts was given the task by the World's Will to create new races to fill in the gaps left after Genesis was split into Realms and barely any life survived.

Ova, the Great Goddess of Beast contains the genetic information of most animals before Genesis was destroyed into pieces, and as she mated with several Human Champions and Heroes, she gave birth to different species of beastmen, centaurs were also included.

It is debated by most demi-human and human societies if Centaurs should be considered beastmen/folk as they lack several parts that make beastfolk while also having their own distinct features.

Aside from their long horse-like ears in place of the human ears, their human upper half resembles a very healthy and strong human, the only difference between them and a human would be their ears and the lower half of a quadrupedal, most of the time of a horse or its subspecies.

The first Centaur to have been born was Morpheus, who was also considered the founder of the Centaur Kingdom of Cilane. Although the Kingdom has a population of mostly Centaurs of various subspecies, there are also several groups of other beastfolk races, which were welcomed by Morpheus with open arms in those ancient times.

Centaurs are adept at close combat, having strong physical prowess and speed due to their lower halves, although some species may be considered slower and it usually depends. Most of the time, Horse Centaurs, who are the majority, often use physical martial techniques and develop special training to increase their musculature. Their Evolutions often reflect knighthood or other warrior-like classes.

Centaurs have honest and firm personalities, and it's rare to find those who have strived outside of the path of righteousness. Centaur Paladins are born every century and are praised as the Goddess of Beasts Champion.

Some Centaurs are born with magic talent, but these are rare, and often belong to old royal and noble families, direct descendants of Morpheus. There is a legend about Morpheus wielding Life-Attribute Magic to create new species of cattle, plants that could survive the never-ending winter of living near the Icy Mountain Walls and other feats. It was proven that in the past, Centaurs were able to wield such magic, but it has been disappearing through the years, after countless generations.

The horse Centaur is the most common, who also possess a wide array of diverse races, there is Donkey Centaur, specialized in words but often physically weak, there are Zebra Centaurs, with stronger and faster bodies than conventional centaur, who used to live in savanna and the vast plains, but the remnants of them joined the Cilane Kingdom some hundreds of years ago, and there are Pony Centaur, who are considered as the Halflings of Centaur, smaller breeds with fast and light bodies and a great talent for magic.

The other, non-horse, subspecies of Centaurs were born from Morpheus's partners from other species or races, such as Dragons or even the children of his Beastmen siblings.

There are Deer Centaur, adept in magic with frail and small bodies, there are Sheep and Goat Centaur, who have small yet sturdy bodies, with long horns which they use to attack, but they often work as rural people, and there are Dragon Centaur, who has the lower half of a small dragon without wings, they are adept at magic but also possess amazing physical prowess, alongside this, they can spit Fire, their only weakness being their very low speed due to their heavy, scaled lower halves.

There have been reports of other centaur species, with lower halves of lions, tigers, rhinoceros, wolves, and more, but these have been lost in history. Some say that they are only myths.

## Dragon Centaur (West/East)

A race born between Morpheus, the Demi-God of Centaurs and Horses, and Tiamat, the Dragoness Goddess of Fertility and Motherhood.

When Tiamat gave birth to them, instead of being one egg, there were two, who seemed to be twins.

A physically strong, heavily armored children hatched from an egg, its scales were as hard as steel and its upper body was muscular, with large claws as hands, resembling gauntlets, it could spit Fire and it possessed amazing defensive capabilities.

And slightly weaker children hatched from the other egg. It lacked its second pair of dragon legs, but it had a long tail. Its scales were slim and thin, which gave it low defenses but amazing agility. It had a small emerald orb in the middle of its chest, which granted it the power of the Wind Attribute, and with it, it could fly through the skies.

Tiamat decided to name them West Dragon Centaur and East Dragon Centaur.

At first, Morpheus wanted them to live with the rest of his children, but the cold conditions of the Cilane Kingdom made it impossible for cold-blooded Dragon-type Centaurs to thrive. They would quickly die out.

So, thinking about the survivability of his children, he placed them on his large dungeon, in a biome made out of countless large mountains, where a radiant sun would always bathe their cold-blooded bodies. Alongside a calming breeze so they wouldn't overheat.

Dragon Centaur is divided into two subspecies, each one was specialized in something specific. But as time went by, both siblings learned from each other. There were West Dragons that are masters of Wind Magic, while there were East Dragons with scales as hard as adamantine and strong muscular bodies.

Yinglong, a child born without a Wind Orb, trained his body diligently by the teachings of the East Dragons, obtaining a new evolution and become a powerful physical warrior. And after evolving again, he regained his latent talent for magic, becoming an all-rounder magic fighter. He is praised as the strongest Dragon Centaur, and even Trianesna cannot surpass his strength.

Dragon Centaurs can develop a wide array of Skills, like Dragon Eyes, skills similar to Demon Eyes, but that grant special abilities to control certain elements. There are tales of West Dragons obtaining Wings after evolving and there are also tales of East Dragons losing their dragon legs but obtaining larger and thicker tails, resembling Wurms or Lamias.

There have been cases of children between Dragon Centaur and Kelpies, named Leviathan Centaurs, and also between Dragon Centaurs and Sphinx, named Tatzelwurm Centaur, mixing both of their parents' traits. However, such races are often born infertile.

## Sphinx

The race was born from Morpheus, the Demi-God of Horses and Centaurs, and Mohini, the Living Deity of Desert Cat Beastmen.

They have the upper halves of humans and their lower halves of large desert cats, their sizes varying greatly depending on their types.

There are currently four doc.u.mented types of Sphinxes currently living in the Desert Biome.

There is the Small Build Sphinx, the Giant Build Sphinx, the Shadow Sphinx, and the Light Sphinx. Usually, such types are mixed, such as Giant Build Shadow Sphinx, or Small Build Light Sphinx. However, there are those Sphinx not categorized as Shadow or Light Sphinx, so they are just called Small Build or Giant Build.

Small Builds are faster and agile, their upper halves are smaller and lighter, meaning that losing their balance while jumping around or running at fast speeds is unlikely. They possess Thief and Assassin related Classes and their agility greatly benefits of such talents. They often have larger ears, with a sharp and fluffy pointed end. They are often talented with magic.

Giant Build Sphinxes are strong, heavy, and intimidating, their lower bodies are wide and muscular, their paws can easily rip apart a monster with their claws. And their jaws are also strong, with long fangs. They trade agility for greater defenses and physical power. They are usually talentless with magic, however, there are exceptions.

Shadow Sphinxes are black colored with bright emerald eyes, they usually are Small build, and develop outstanding Shadow and Dark Attribute Magic affinities, becoming strong mages and necromancers. Giant Build Shadow Sphinxes become powerful Dark Warriors or Shadow Knights.

Light Sphinxes are white colored with bright yellow eyes, they usually are Giant build, possessing outstanding physical power and a balanced ability with both strength and magic. They have amazing affinities with Light and Holy Attributes. Whenever Small Build Light Sphinxes are born, they are outstanding Bishops or Apostles that purge the evil with Holy Light.

Sphinxes' personalities are playful and cat-like, some may result in more serious than others. Small Builds are usually more playful as they like to put on pranks on others, women may allure males only for fun.

Giant Builds are often serious and calm, they are hard workers compared to the Small Builds and their women don't go playing around with males, although some may be different…

They are an overall very cute and fascinating race of demi-humans, and both their women and men are beautiful and handsome, with charismatic personalities, although those who live in Villages may have more modest demeanors than those who live in cities.

## Black Cats

One of the descendants of the Great Goddess of Beasts Ova, when she mated with several Human Champions and produced new races of demi-human with beast features.

Their founder is the ancestor of all Feline-Type Beastmen, Maeralya, a woman who was said to have the features of all feline animals and monsters, her beauty was like that of a sphinx and her strength like that of a lion.

She led her children, who were born in different shapes and forms but always belonged to the feline-type of animals into her own Kingdom, the Kingdom of Moonfang.

Black Cats were descendants of one of her children which were born with small, flexible bodies and black fur and eyes, they didn't possess much physical strength, but had outstanding speed, flexibility, and the ability to partially control lightning.

Black Cats are talented with stealth classes like Thieves, Assassins, Spies, Ninjas, Kunoichi, and Hidden Weapon Users. Some are talented in Thunder Magic, becoming powerful mages. However, all of them share their frail and small bodies, compared to the other races like Lionmen or Tigerman, they are weak and often ridiculed.

Nonetheless, there was once a Black Cat Champion named Kuro, that awakened his ancestor's bloodline, he became a powerful fighter and controlled Lightning as if it were his own limbs. By combining this with the Throwing Technique and the Dagger Technique, he was able to destroy its enemies with lightning-powered dagger projectiles and other hidden arts.

These Arts were passed down to his descendants, which later on developed these techniques and named them as [Lightning Dagger Arts].

Nowadays, Black Cats are rare as normal citizens, but they are often raised by Noble houses as spies and assassins, and by using the Arts passed down by the Black Cat Champion, they can be deadly combatants of the night.
