The Arcanus
Bipedal, highly intelligent inhabitants of Ethora. Mostly mammalian but with reptilian features — scales along the spine, claws on the foot, and an elemental bond from birth.
The Arcanus live close to nature, but they are by no means of the wild alone — they have built cultures, languages, and crafts. Almost every individual is born with the ability to master one or more elements; their main form is the anthropomorphic stance, with a secondary feral form they grow into in childhood.
The species sorts into four races and four body types. Trait variation is enormous — the plates below walk through every part of the species, from anatomy and battle form to the full horn, eye, tail, and scale bestiary.
