Species of the Land of luminous fragments

Forest kingdom

-Manticores

-The ascended ones of the forest kingdom, manticores are creatures part human, part lion and scorpion. They have lion ears, mane, having fur around their legs and animal-like feet alongside sharp retractable claws that can come in and out of their fingers at will. These creatures have enhanced strength and endurance, alongside the ability to shapeshift into a lion form whenever they wish. They're also capable of changing the appearance of their faces from an animal or human look at will.

-Manticores have the tail of a scorpion that carries their poison, manticore poison doesn't kill, instead it causes the person affected by it to enter a state of near paralysis where they feel drained and are essentially unable to move. Antidotes for a manticore poison can be made by potion made using a blood sample from one, but the effects of manticore's poison can fade on their own after 2 or 3 weeks.

-Manticores grow up to be extremely tall in comparison to most other species, most of them easily making it to over 220 cm tall.

-Manticores are the forest kingdom's most famous creatures, most being part of the royal guard, being in charge or not only protecting their kingdom but going on expeditions to collect power crystals in the depths of the Forest.

-Centaurs

-Having the upper half of a human and lower body of a horse, centaurs are very strong creatures, being able to move heavy objects all across the place. But a centaur's most well known trait is their immense speed, being as fast as a rolling pillbug. These creatures usually work on transportation of materials or people through the land kingdoms or partake in racing competitions.

-Despite having most of their upper half human-like, the centaurs still have horse ears on their heads instead of human ones which enhances their audition.

-Similar to Forest critters, some centaurs can have markings on their human bodies that were carried over from the horse half.

-Satyrs

-Satyrs have the upper half of a human but deer-like legs and tail, they also possess deer-like ears and can grow antlers regardless of their gender. The hair on a satyr's is the same as the fur that grows around their deer parts, having the same colors and patterns as such.

-Although not as fast as a centaur, the deer-like legs do make the satyrs quite faster than other creatures, their legs can also deliver strong kicks on their foes.

-Satyrs can be of multiple deer species depending on what area of the forest kingdom their bloodline comes from.

-The Satyrs see their antlers as a representation of their strength, the bigger they are the stronger the satyr is. They take pride in taking care of their antlers. Having a broken one is looked down upon by them.

-Vampires

-Vampires are creatures part human and part bat, they have large bat ears on the sides of their heads, large fangs, fur growing around their lower legs and large wings that start from the back of their arms and connect to the side of the vampire's torso. These wings are made of two thin layers of elastic skin stretched over the vampire's arms, ending a little before the wrist region which still allows them to move their hands freely.

-Due to the anatomy of their wings, Vampires cannot wear any clothes with sleeves and whatever they're wearing has to have a large enough side opening for them to fit their arms and wings through.

-They have a naturally enhanced upper body strength and strong arms to handle flying around, their species is typically lean in build as extra weight makes it harder to fly and the act of flying itself builds muscles and burns fat.

-A vampire's eyes are rather sensitive to light, as such they tend to keep their eyes closed during the day and only open them after the sun goes down. This poses no problems for the bats as they can use their enhanced hearing to move around just fine.

-Their fangs can be used to suck blood out of other creatures, however as their species became more integrated with society the vampires gained easy access to a lot more food options negating the need for blood consumption. Most vampires nowadays rarely drink blood, and when they do it comes from meat allowed for consumption.

-Allowing a vampire to drink your blood is seen as a sign of love or a very strong bond between the person and the vampire.

-Forest critters

-Out of all species, the forest critters are the ones that a closests to a human. Main difference being that they have animal-like ears and tails, some can also have fur growing around their hands and legs or even in other parts of their bodies. Just like the satyrs, their hair and fur are the same.

-Forest critters can be cat, rabbit, fox, furret or raccoon based. Depending on the animal they are, the forest critters can get a few small abilities or patterns from them.

-Fox and racoon critters tend to be discriminated against due to being seen as untrustworthy and thieves respectively, rabbits and ferrets tend to be seen as loving and kind, while cat critters are seen as smart and sophisticated.

-Land humans and werewolves

-Land humans are the majority of the humans found in the land kingdoms, despite being in fewer numbers in comparison to the amount of creatures around, they have been part of the land kingdoms since forever. Centuries of hybrid relationships and exposure to power crystals has led these humans to develop the Howling gene, a genetic mutation that when inherited in a recessive pattern causes the offspring to turn into a werewolf usually around their late teens.

-Werewolves have the face, neck, tail and legs of a wolf, most even having fur around their chests or covering their hands. Werewolves have enhanced strength and speed alongside great hearing and smelling senses.

-If a werewolf comes from the forest kingdom they will be grey wolves. Werewolves also don't have the easiest time there as for years they were obligated to take in potions to "revert" the effects of the howling gene,leaving the individual as close as they can to a human if taken regularly. This does contain heavy side effects such as; recurring headaches, forgetfulness, slight lack of appetite and leaving the person who takes them feeling tired or weak most of the time.

-Various werewolves and potion makers consider this potion pure unnecessary cruelty, many of the latter even refusing to produce or sell them in their stores. And despite the kingdom eventually banning the rule that obligated werewolves to take in potions, it is still used relatively often around the Forest kingdom, as many people and families see the werewolves as "wrong" and wish to "cure" them.

Mountian kingdom

-Owls

-The ascended ones of the mountain kingdom, owls are creatures part human and part owl. They have cold colored feathers ranging from shades of blue to purple growing around their arms and legs, coming at a sudden stop at their bird-like hands and feet. The feathers cover their long ears completely and can sometimes grow on other areas like their chests and elbows. Owls also have an owl tail.

-Aside from the enhanced strength and endurance that comes from being an ascended one, Owls have natural ice powers, being able to conjure ice beams while in human form and freeze their feathers at will creating an incredibly hard ice that serves as great defense. Owls are also naturally good at handling cold temperatures.

-Owls can change from their human to bird form at will, their bird form being approximately the size of a red fox. They are able to fly really fast and can create strong snow storms by flapping their wings repeatedly at a target. An owl in bird form is strong enough to pick up a humanoid creature and bring them high into the sky with them.

-Owls can change the anatomy of their head between both of their forms at will, this doesn't change anything about them, some just prefer the bird look over the human face.

-In rare cases an owl can be born with warm colored feathers instead of the typical blues, this was seen as a blessing or luck sign by their peers.

-Butterflies

-The bug species that became native to the mountain kingdom after fleeing from their birth planet, the moon. Being an enormous power crystal floating in space living in the surface of the moon was incredibly dangerous for their species as they would never stop being affected and morphed by the crystal's energy, which caused them to grow into horrific creatures enormous in size in an incredibly painful existence which left most of the older butterflies way too tired to do anything. Eventually the older butterflies used their powers to send the younger and healthier of their kind to earth where they would have better lives.

-Modern day butterflies are a result of hybrid relationships between the ancient butterflies and humans they met during their time on earth, this caused their species to grow healthier and more human-like over the generations.

-These creatures have long silky fur growing from their shoulders to the palm and back of their hands, the fur is also growing on their back, chest and legs. They also have 3 pairs of eyes, a long curled up tongue and a pair of antennae sticking out of their foreheads. Some Butterflies can be born with an extra pair of arms, though that's a very rare occasion.

-They have large butterfly wings coming from their backs that allow them to fly at high speeds and high into the sky. The color of their wings is determined by the power they were born with, they start off being a milky white color but change to being warm colored if the butterfly has telekinetic abilities or cold colored if they have mind controlling abilities.

-Similar to spiders the butterflies have psychic abilities, they are all illusory however the butterflies can either be able to momentarily control the movement of a creature they spilled silk on like a puppet using their fingertips, or be able to momentarily make things that have been in contact with their silk float at will, being able to control where and at what velocity this object or person will go. No butterfly can have both of these powers.

-The butterflies have a strong connection to the moon, being able to absorb moonlight which is where the source of their powers comes from. This ability makes them great at handling cold temperatures but also makes them not do well in hot ones. The butterflies enjoy gazing at the moon and admiring its beauty in the night sky.

-All butterflies can spill silk from their fingertips, it can be used as a defense mechanism however they can often spil excess silk. This excess can be turned into strong ropes that are then used in building the leashes used on wolf sleds, the main source of transport of the kingdom.

-Minotaurs

-Minotaurs are creatures that are part human and part bull. They have the head and tail of a bull and lots of thick fur growing around their bodies, they also have hooves on their feet and 4 sharp claws in place of their fingers made of the same material. A minotaur's fur never stops growing, it grows everywhere on their body so if one wishes to have skin showing they have to go out of their way to shave the fur and keep it that way.

-The thick fur makes them naturally good at handling cold temperatures. However, even the ones who want their whole body covered in fur need to be sheared similar to sheeps from time to time. The fur left over is often used to make clothes which are resistant to the cold climate.

-The minotaurs' sharp claws also help a lot when fighting. However despite these attributes minotaurs are known for being very kind and gentle, most of them either working in journeying to the mountain caves to collect power crystals or as guards around the towns.

-Fauns

-Fauns are the offsprings of Minotaurs and land humans, being some of the most well known and accepted hybrid species. Similar to the minotaurs they have the tail of a bull and thick fur covering their arms and legs, coming at a stop at their hooves and 4 sharp claws in place of their fingers made of the same material. Although their fur is similar to the one of a minotaur, a faun's fur does stop growing.

-Unlike minotaurs the fauns have a human head, however they do still have bull ears, horns and hair of the same color and material as their fur. Fauns are also not nearly as strong as minotaurs but surely stronger than a human, they are known for using their horns to headbutt or pierce opponents during fights.

-Land humans and werewolves

-Just like the forest and desert kingdom, land humans are also found in the mountain kingdom alongside werewolves. If a werewolf comes from this kingdom they will be arctic wolves.

-Unlike the forest kingdom, most mountain folks are kind to the werewolves, treating them no different than they would treat a Minotaur. In fact, a few werewolves even work alongside the minotaurs in their journeys to the crystal caves or in being guards around the towns.

Desert kingdom

-Phoenixes

-The ascended ones of the desert kingdom, phoenixes are creatures part human and part falcon. They have warm colored feathers ranging from shades of red to yellow growing around their arms and legs, coming to a sudden stop at their bird-like hands and feet. The feathers cover their long ears completely and can sometimes grow on other areas like their chest or elbows. Phoenixes also have a falcon tail.

-Aside from the enhanced strength and endurance that comes from being an ascended one, phoenixes have natural fire powers, being able to conjure fire balls while in human form and set their feathers on fire at will. Phoenixes are naturally good at handling hot temperatures.

-Phoenixes can change from their human to bird form at will, their bird form being approximately the size of a red fox. They are able to fly really fast and can create fire vortexes around them while spinning towards a target. A phoenix in bird form is strong enough to pick up a humanoid creature and bring them high into the sky with them.

-Phoenixes can change the anatomy of their head between both of their forms at will, this doesn't change anything about them, some just prefer the bird look over the human face.

-Similar to the Owls, Phoenixes can be born with cold colored feathers instead of the typical reds, this is seen as undesirable and a sign of bad luck for the family.

-Phoenixes are mostly all monarchy and the few rich populations of the desert kingdom that's close to them, having that much wealth is essentially the only way they would be able to get their hands on enough power crystals to complete the transformation into a phoenix.

-Spiders

-The bug species that became native to the desert kingdom after fleeing from their birth planet, the sun. Being an enormous power crystal floating in space living in the surface of the sun was incredibly dangerous for their species as they would never stop being affected and morphed by the crystal's energy, which caused them to grow into horrific creatures enormous in size in an incredibly painful existence which left most of the older spiders way too tired to do anything. Eventually the older spiders used their powers to send the younger and healthier of their kind to earth where they would have better lives.

-Modern day spiders are a result of hybrid relationships between the ancient spiders and humans they met during their time on earth, this caused their species to grow healthier and more human-like over the generations.

-These creatures either be 4s, spiders with 2 pairs of eyes and arms, or 6s, spiders with 3 pairs of eyes and arms. The spiders also have big slightly twisted upper canine teeth, they are very sharp and cause quite a bit of damage when biting a foe.

-Spiders have a lot of fur growing on their bodies, covering their legs, arms, chest and back. Their fur helps them climb on surfaces with ease and can also have many patterns ranging from stripes, spots or a mixture of both. A spider's hair will also have the same colors and patterns as their fur.

-Similar to butterflies the spiders have psychic powers, however they need a Crystal sphere in order to properly use them. With the Crystal sphere the spiders can have visions of the future, however these visions are enigmatic with odd visuals and take a lot of energy from the spider after having one they also require a lot of learning in order to be able to access them or even comprehend what's being shown on the visions. Said visions can also not give straight answers from time to time.

-A spider with enough power and training can also use the crystal sphere to teleport a couple feet from where they were originally standing, this only works for the spider, they cannot teleport other creatures alongside them.

-The spiders have a strong connection to the sun, being able to absorb sunlight which is where the source of their powers comes from. This ability makes them great at handling hot temperatures but also makes them not do well in cold ones. The spiders enjoy sunbathing and use it as a way to relax.

-After being attacked fiercely by the desert kingdom queens and their phoenixes, the spiders have retreated into living as far as they could from the desert kingdom and remaining there where they deem safe. The stagnate volcano where they rebuild their homes is all a lot of spiders have ever known.

-Pillbugs

-These beings originated from the center of the earth, living in the large cave system that surrounds the real origin crystal. The species eventually made their way to the surface where they habited the area that's currently known as the forest kingdom before being chased off the territory during the kingdom's creation.

-Pillbugs have a thick and resistant shell going from the top of their heads to the tip of their tails, the shell offers great defense against both standard weapons and magic attacks, it also allows the pillbugs to roll up which is most commonly used for them to travel at high speeds. The shell also grows around their arms and legs providing protection and enhancing the strength of their punches.

-The transitional area between the shell and the skin has markings of the same color around them, these markings can be swirls, stripes or spots and can even appear in other areas of the pillbug's body.

-The pillbugs normally only have one pair of eyes, though it's not uncommon to see some having extra eyes somewhere around their faces at seemingly random areas.

-Unlike the spiders and butterflies the pillbugs don't have any kind of physics powers, however they are the ones with the most physical strength of all insect creatures. They also have a strong connection with nature, they are able to feel when the land around them is doing well or when it isn't, they can also feel when it's going to rain, snow or when it will be sunny soon.

-Sand lizard

-Sand lizards are humanoid reptilian creatures, out of all species in the land they're the one with the least amount of human-like characteristics. They have the head of a desert horned lizard, usually with a couple large thick scales sticking out of their head that resemble horns, and thick scales covering most areas of their body minus their chest, abdomen, inner legs and the underside of their tail.

-Their scales provide great endurance and are almost as resistant as a pillbug shell, they can have a variety of patterns on them but their colors will always be warm and earthy tones. Scale colors are hereditary and will be passed down from parent to child. Sand lizards also shed their scales periodically, they can be turned into leather or used as ingredients for certain kinds of potions.

-They are cold blooded creatures, which alongside their hardy scales helps them go by very well in the desert environment.

-Sand lizards don't grow any hair or fur, however some can have long thin scales poking out of their heads which can resemble or be styled similar to hair depending on the amount of them.

-Land humans and werewolves

-Just like the forest and mountain kingdom, land humans are also found in the desert kingdom alongside werewolves. If a werewolf comes from this kingdom they will be arabian wolves.

-Unlike the forest kingdom, most desert folk see the werewolves as strong and powerful fighters, treating most of them with respect or even fear.

Shore kingdom

-Sea humans

-Sea humans are descendants of the offspring of the mermaids left behind on land by the ocean kingdom and land humans centuries ago, being some of the most well known and accepted hybrid species. They're only found at the Shore kingdom and genetically close to the mermaids, looking very similar to one in human form, even having the same webbed ears and gills around their necks.

-Despite not being able to shapeshift or breathe underwater like the mermaids, sea humans are naturally great swimmers. They also seem to be drawn by the ocean or bodies of water. Just like their ancestors, the color of the scales around their ears is hereditary.

-Unlike land humans, sea humans cannot carry the howling gene. As such, no werewolf is native to the shore kingdom, so whenever shore folk see one around they're usually fascinated and curious about these creatures.

Ocean kingdom

-Werewolves

While not native to the Shore kingdom, since sea humans don't have the howling gene, If a werewolf goes through their transformation on Shore territory they will become manned wolves. Being a kingdom filled with several different species that moved there over the years, werewolves hardly ever face any sort of prejudice in the Shore kingdom.

-Mermaids

-Mermaids are most of the ocean kingdom's population, in land form they are similar to the sea humans having webbed ears and girls around their necks. However the mermaids can have their fingers webbed as well as the ability to breathe underwater. The color of their scales is hereditary, passed down from parent to offspring.

-They have the ability to change from their land form to their sea form at will, in sea form they will have the lower half of a fish. This helps them swim a lot better and depending on the region a mermaid comes from they may have more fish-like features than others

-Similar to forest critters, there are a few animals that can be the fish part of a mermaid's body. Those are; Crocodiles, Eels, fishes and sharks.

-Crocodile, Eel, and a few deep sea fish mermaids tend to get discriminated against and seen as "ugly" or "ferocious" due to their appearance, while shallow fish and shark mermaids are seen as gorgeous creatures.

-Sea serpents

-The ascended ones of the ocean kingdom and the strongest of all ascended species, the sea serpents are taken from their families while still young mermaids and sent to the depths of the ocean kingdom where they will be at constant exposure to great qualities of power crystals. It is not safe for an older or fully grown mermaid to travel as low as where the sea serpents live.

-The sea serpent transformation is long and physically painful for the person undergoing it, it tends to only be completed at age 18-20.

-In human form the sea serpents have webbed ears, gills around their necks and the ability to breathe underwater similar to the mermaids, but they also have sharp claws at the end of their hands and feet which are covered in hard scales. The sea serpent also has horns and sharp teeth.

-They can switch from human to serpent form at will and in serpent form they become huge sea serpents capable of swimming incredibly fast and dealing massive damage with their attacks. Their long body is covered by hard scales that serve as great defense, however these scales tend to have broken patterns on them due to the rapid development of the sea serpents.

-Sea serpents actually have the longest lifespan out of any other creature, however the vast majority of serpents die in their youth due to the rigorous and violent training regime they're put through.

-Despite being their kingdom's protectors, the sea serpents are looked down upon with disgust and fear by the mermaids who see them as terrifying monsters.

Hybrids

-Hybrid relationships are seen differently by society depending on the kingdom. While it is very common in both the mountain and shore kingdom and relatively normalized in the Desert kingdom, in the Forest and Ocean kingdom these are seen as weird and almost forbidden in some way due to both kingdom's extremely traditionalism. Back in the day they would even go as far as chase off hybrid couples and their children.

-Hybrid children are usually a mix between the parents' species, though there are cases of hybrids that look almost identical one only one of their parent's species. The most well known hybrids are the fauns, who were created from offspring between Minotaurs and humans, and the sea humans, who come from the relationship between mermaids abandoned by the ocean kingdom on the shore and land humans centuries ago.

-Although having hybrids is possible, one must be aware that there are very different species all over the world which leads to some being more compatible than others when it comes to reproduction. The species are classified in 3 main groups: creatures, avians and insects. While an offspring generated from parents belonging to different groups is possible, it's an incredibly rare occurrence and the pregnancy tends to be a very risky one with a high chance for miscarriage.

#lf species doc my beloved #love coming up with species lore n shit #come to lf we have weird ass magic shapeshifters. furries. bug aliens. what is there not to love #also i feel like this is self explanatory but like #this is just stating where the species are native from/became native of said kingdom after being there for so long #not like “the only place you'll ever see a centaur would be in the forest kingdom”#nah these species are everywhere all over the land kingdoms #emphasis on land kingdoms because the Ocean doesn't allow people from outside to move to their kingdom #they are. fucked up weirdos #whoever read the lore on them knows what's up #luminous fragments #lf #hyena ramblings
