* Normal
* Berserk

**Eirys** *(Eiryth for singular)* are an uncommon species originated from Oluros, Ethoria. They are one of the main species featured in Ever.

## Appearance

### Normal Form

Eiryth is a bipedal floating spirit. It has a round head with feelers surrounding the face. It ears are pointy, soft and long, attached on top of their eyes. There is a gemstone that stores its past memories, located between the ear attachments. Its arms are thin, long and stretchable. It has another eye on their chest that has the ability to foresight.

When an Eiryth's mind is jammed with corrupted memories that can occur when certain events happening remind it of its past, the Eiryth will transform into its *Berserk Form*.

### Berserk Form

The Berserk Form retains most of its traits, but in a more haunting body size, way different from its usual cute appearance. Its arms are transformed into large claws with spikes underneath. The foresight eye enlarges and corrupts the middle part of its body. The feelers become sharper and the ears stretch longer.

It also grows fangs, unlike the normal form which doesn't have any teeth. It can now stand firmly on the ground with its newly grown long legs.

This form can only be triggered when an Eiryth has too many flashbacks that corrupts its mental state. It can transform back to its normal form once it calms down.

## Behavior

An Eiryth's behavior may change from time to time according to its surroundings. It remains normal when nothing is happening. It acts and behaves like a regular Ethofolk, resulting in it being accepted into society.

However, when it comes to dangerous circumstances, an Eiryth makes sure that they avoid as much as possible. Such events that remind of its past life may corrupts its behavior. The more memories that trigger it, the more aggressive they get. Once its head gem fully flashes and glows, it transforms into its Berserk Form.

The head gem is the most fragile trait. If an Eiryth has its head gem destroyed, it loses the ability to float, making it weak and unable to use the rest of its abilities. Despite having a lifespan of a lifetime, they die easily if their head gem is gone.

## Abilities

### Normal Form

Its feelers can detect sound from a far range, and its chest eye has the ability to foresight, so it shouldn't be a huge problem for it to behave most of the time. Its arms are flexible and can be stretched to grab certain objects, or strangle enemies.

Eirys float on ground, and aren't unable to reach as high as species that can fly normally. As they float, they also consume energy. Thus, they require to consume souls of the dead to preserve it.

### Berserk Form

An Eiryth that has Berserk Form active loses its ability to control itself. However, its strength multiplies from a normal Eiryth, giving it more abilities and powers to attack. Its claw-like arms can tear creatures apart, while its feelers have its sound detection multiplied. It can also run in high speed too.

When it attacks, it usually uses its chest eye that is ripped from its body to suck the souls of the enemies in order to finish them off. The souls also feed on the Eiryth for energy.

When an Eiryth's Berserk Form times out, it reverts back to its normal form, and will lose up to 40% of its memory that occur a few hours ago, which most likely ends up in it not remembering what it does when transforming, which calms it down.
