H

Hybrid [hī′brĭd] pl. Hybrids
Also half-breeds. The term 'hybrid' refers to an offspring born of the union of a pure and a human, or two pures from different species. Although some traits are dominant in every species, determining which ones would be inherited by the offspring is not possible until after birth, sometimes even long after childhood. In some cases, breeding it's not possible and though it may be attempted, the result could be catastrophic.


I

Imithir [ee’-mee-t’heer] pl. Imithirs
A member of a composite race of creatures: part human and part beast. Akin to the appearance of centaurs; they have the head, arms and torso of a human and the lower body and legs of a particular beast. Originally there were several tribes of Imithirs segregated around the world. However, over time the tribes began to grow, traveling close to one another in order to endure the ever-changing environment and in due course, trading the nomad life to settle in small villages, which eventually prospered enough to merge into one metropolis of half-beasts.

N

Nāga [ˈnɑːɡə]  fem. Nāgī  pl. Nāgas
A reptilian creature with the upper body of a human and the tail of a snake.
Nagas have tan to dark skin with hair and scales (in their tail and other sections of their body) that can range from faded to vibrant colors; the latter being a warning of their deadly poison, whereas their eyes have slitted pupils and bright or pale colors, to allow better light reflection during the night as they are active hunters. Though all nagas are capable of spitting poison (the potency depending on their species and age), they may also use their fangs to bite and their tails for constriction. While they 'stand' at the height of a regular human (approx. six feet), the length of their tails (which can grow beyond thirteen feet in length) allow them to raise themselves up by a few feet, either to intimidate foes, get a better view of the area or access someplace high. Nagas are often wary of those that approach them and rarely communicate in languages other than their own. Though they prefer to live in the wild, usually near swamps or in hidden settlements, some may travel into more civilized areas, sometimes even establishing communication with other sentient species, such as humans. Nagas can magically alter their appearance back and forth so that it more closely resembles a human's; losing their body scales, slitted pupils and tails in the transition, but retaining their characteristic ears, fangs and unusual colorings.
    · Nag'Asch: aquatic nagas.
    · Nag'Ere: feather nagas.
    ·
    Nag'Lahar: mineral nagas.
    · Nag'Lore: flower nagas.
