## Anatomy & Physiology

Anglux are a very unstable species, and thus commonly have mutations and differ from each other. There is no one perfect Anglux. An Anglux has teal-ish skin, with hair in a slightly darker shade. The eyes of an Anglux are white, with no pupils. Anglux most commonly have external gills on the side of their head. Anglux are able to live without water for up to a week, hinting at an Anglux possibly having lungs as well.

There is no physical difference between male and female Anglux.

Anglux may have an antennae with a luminous orb attached to the end, similar to that of an angler fish. The light that comes from this is white and is sometimes used to lure in smaller fish to eat, but also commonly used as a personal nightlight. Sometimes an Anglux has light teal lines on their cheeks. The reason they have this is unknown. These lines and other parts of an Anglux its body may be luminous as well. This is considered a mutation.

Anglux are also observed to have albino variants, with pale white skin, red eyes with pink eyebags and light pink hair. The orb at the end of their antennae, if they have one, is tinted red and emits a red glow as well. Albino Anglux skin may have reddish pink spots in the same color as their eyebags.

## Society & Culture

Anglux are typically an aggressive species. They fight over simple things, such as who gets to take the first piece of food. Exceptions to this aggressiveness are seen as outcasts, but otherwise left alone. If neither of the two get in the way, a peaceful and aggressive Anglux may live together in relative peace.

Anglux do not view drastic mutations as a positive thing. If a mutation has not been observed in other Anglux, or simply looks too weird, the Anglux will be forced to fight for its life. Albino Anglux are often victims of this, and thus albinos are even rarer to find in the wild.

### Fashion and Looks

Anglux most commonly have long hair, as they just let it grow until it gets inconvenient. This is mainly due to lack of style and fashion. Some Anglux who have been on land for extended periods of time might develop a sense of fashion, but the majority doesn't seem to care about this.

Anglux typically do not wear things such as shirts, or anything that covers the chest area. Exceptions to this are surprisingly not viewed as weird or strange. Shoes are not needed when underwater, though are a common thing for Anglux who regularly go on land. Anglux typically do not care about how a clothing item looks on them, as long as it is functional and comfortable, anything goes.

Clothing tends to be in seaweed green colors, dull yellows and varying shades of blue, but other colors have been observed as well, especially on land dwelling Anglux.

### Holidays

Anglux do not know holidays outside of birthdays, and do not feel the need to celebrate anything else. The birthday of the groups leader, and anyone else that leader deems worthy, is always celebrated. Some Anglux that mainly live on land may choose to celebrate Bisca their holidays as well.

### Jobs

Anglux only know simple jobs. For anything else, such as life saving medical help and food supplies that aren't fish, they depend on other species found on land. Anglux do what's needed and what they're good at, typically in exchange for food or shiny items, typically things such as gold, silver or bronze. Important members of the group, such as the groups leader or its family and best friends, are expected to be served and helped for free.

### Authority

The way authority and leadership is decided is through a fight. The Anglux that wins this fight gets to be the leader of the group, and all others need to respect this. Disobedience is looked down on, and sometimes even severely punished. If another Anglux thinks they are able to beat the current leader in a fight, it may attempt to do so to gain the role of leadership. A leader is usually recognised by the tooth necklace they wear.

### Views on Other Species

Each Anglux has its own opinion, although some opinions are more common than others. Below are the most common opinions on other species an Anglux may encounter.

* **Bisca**: Anglux view the Bisca as neutral, sometimes even positive. They are the main species encountered when out of water, and also responsible for (indirectly) creating the Anglux. Bisca act peaceful and kind towards the Anglux, so the Anglux do not see the need to fight. Anglux also depend on Bisca for various goods and services (See: Jobs).
* **Lovebeasts**: Anglux view the Lovebeasts as inconvenient. They do not understand why the Lovebeasts need to take their positive emotions away, and avoid them where possible, ignoring the positive influence Lovebeasts may have with their spells. Sometimes going as far as threatening the Lovebeasts to stay away.
* **Malusbestia**: Not understanding what Malusbestia may use their magic for, the Anglux view them as neutral as well. Malusbestia take away negative emotions, and that is usually all the Anglux understand.

## History

Anglux their live before being discovered as humanoid amphibians is unknown.

It is thought that Anglux have developed and evolved due to magic residue being dumped in the water they resided in when they were just fish. This residue is not junk per se, but did affect the fish living in it once they absorbed it. Anglux were discovered fairly recent, and are speculated to have been around for very long before their discovery.

## Naming Conventions

Anglux do not have rules for their names, and are typically named after words, mainly things found around them. Many Anglux have the same name because of this.

Sometimes an Anglux will hear a different name from another species, and may name new offspring after the new name.

## Etymology & Inspiration

the name Anglux comes from Angler, the fish species, and lux, meaning light.

The idea for the species as a whole comes from an earlier concept that has been reused.
