[SPECIES] Implings (petit race)A bunch of mischievous little creatures showed up at UnidrakPalace! But who exactly are they? It's time to learn more about them.




MAGIC, CRYSTALS AND TINY CREATURES

Magic energy on planet Mavellia is not only a source of eternal light, unique abilities and weird events. It is also able to store bits of information about its most recent user and their knowledge. One could say, that magic itself is like a bizarre DNA code - you never know what information floats around you! Extracting those information from magic energy, although possible, is extremely difficult and requires very advanced magic&alchemy knowledge. Most of the time, it's not worth the trouble, so this peculiar "DNA" seems rather useless.
Everything changes when magic is absorbed by an object that can store it. Many magic absorbing crystals can be found all around Mavellia, especially on Sakhengell Archipelago. Some crystals store all kinds of magic


MAGIC, CRYSTALS AND TINY CREATURES

Magic energy on planet Mavellia is not only a source of eternal light, unique abilities and weird events. It is also able to store bits of information about its most recent user and their knowledge. One could say, that magic itself is like a bizarre DNA code - you never know what information floats around you! Extracting those information from magic energy, although possible, is extremely difficult and requires very advanced magic&alchemy knowledge. Most of the time, it's not worth the trouble, so this peculiar "DNA" seems rather useless. 
Everything changes when magic is absorbed by an object that can store it. Many magic absorbing crystals can be found all around Mavellia, especially on Sakhengell Archipelago. Some crystals store all kinds of magic energy, others can absorb only one specific kind or element. Touching one of the latter may result in physical changes and mutations caused by "magic DNA" stored in them. Release of the crystal magic is "manual" and an be triggered only by a living creature. But what does this have to do with tiny elemantal imps then?


FLOWER MEADOWSNot only crystal are capable of absorbing magic. A specific genus of flowers called elemental flowers is one of a very few grops of plants that can naturally absorb and store large amounts of magic energy. Those flowers usually grow on large forest meadows and produce unusually big amount of sweet nectar. Different species of elemental flowers absorb different kinds of elemental magic, but unlike crystals, those flowers can randomly release excess of condensated magic energy. Sometimes contensation of the magic and its "DNA" results in creating something more, than just a sparkly cloud of magic dust...


SWEETS-LOVING IMPSTiny elemental creatures called implings are born from a pure magic energy released by elemental flowers. The amount of information stored in "magic DNA" causes them to be fully aware of their own existance from the very moment of their birth. They are also capable of using spoken language and often know things no one else does. 
As the magic released by flowers contains flower's "DNA" as well, implings inherit the ability to grow plant parts (namely petals and tendrils) on their body. Petals can release various scents which either lure other implings or scare away small predators. When sleeping or just resting implings often use their tendrils to feel safer. Entwining them with other implings helps them relax and sleep peacefully.
For the most part, implings feed on elemental flower nectar, but they are easly lured by any kind of sweet food.



IMPLINGS AND THE PALACE COMMUNITYJust like unidraks and a few other species, impling are considered Drakonians - inteligent species with the ability to use spoken language. They belong to the social class called "petit races". They have the same right as prime races such as unidraks, and live alongside them in Palaces, but they have to be "patroned" by a prime in order to do some activities. This rule was created due to petit races being really small compared to primes, and thus, unsafe in the world of large prime Drakonians.

ELEMENTAL TYPESEvery impling borns with body shape and features specific to their elemental type. Often, their personality matches the element they were born from.
Although body shape always stay the same, sometimes a small spark of different element can cause them to have hybrid traits.

DRACO (FIRE)Personality: Dracos are impish creatures with fiery temper. They're insubordinate and independent, walking their own path, but they seem to know when the line should not be crossed. They love spicy taste of fire flower nectar.
Characteristics: slim, slightly elongated body shape; long tail with arrow-shaped tip; 2-3 rows of spikes on the head; long spikes growing on their back and/or tail (can be single or double); bat wings; characteristic ear shape

SERPENT (AIR)Personality: Brave and curious, those impling are really hard to control. They aren't scared of anything, so their recklessness often gets them into trouble.They love herbal taste of air flower nectar.
Characteristics: long body with short legs (front paws are larger than hind paws); long tail ended with a fur tuft; tiny double horns; mane growing on the head, as well as on the top of the neck, back and/or tail; 1-2 short cheek feelers; no wings (they use levitation to fly around); characteristic ear shape

 
KELPIE (WATER)Personality: Kelpies are mysterious and introvertic imps with very sarcastic sense of humor. They value their privacy and are not much talkative, so it's pretty common for them to end conversation with a short repartee. They love salty taste of water flower nectar.
Characteristics: horse-like body shape; no hind legs; long tail ended with a fin; fins on the head and back (can be in parts or be fused like eel fins); one long horn on the top of the head (connected to the head fin) OR a set of spikes supporting head/back fins; 2-3 long cheek feelers; no wings (they use levitation to fly around); characteristic ear shape

MANTICORE (ELECTRIC)Personality: Manticores tend to be lazy and easily distracted by even the smallest thing. It's really hard to force them to do anything at all. They prefer taking relaxing naps, bathed in sunlight. They love citrus taste of electric flower nectar.
Characteristics: wild-cat-like body shape; medium-long tail ended with a stinger; small horns; flat plates growing on the top of the back and/or tail; mane on the head; bat wings; characteristic ear shape

JACKALOPE (EARTH)Personality: Cheerful and full of energy, jackalopes often hop around restlessly, if they have nothing else to do. They get bored really quickly, so it's best to provide them a lot of various activities. They love peanut taste of earth flower nectar.
Characteristics: short body (front paws are smaller than hind paws); short, fluffy tail; small antlers; longer fur (especially on cheeks and tail, but sometimes can grow long on other parts of the body); mane on the head; feather wings; characteristic ear shape (with inner fluff)


KIRIN (ICE)Personality: Despite their ice element, kirins seem to like warmth and safety. They are shy, a bit clumsy and very obedient, and thus, really easy to control. They love mint taste of ice flower nectar.
Characteristics: giraffe-like body shape; medium-long tail with fur tuft on the bottom of the base and on the tip; triple horn (two short and one long); short spikes on the top of the back and/or tail; mane on the head; feather wings; characteristic ear shape

-Their skin is covered in soft, nice in touch velvet
-Each paw has 3 fingers (one phalanx per finger; implings can move fingers to grab things) and one small pad underneath
-Personality usually match their elemental type, but that's not a requirement
-Possible hybrid traits: ears, horns, spikes, plates, fins, tail, wings, mane, long fur, no wings, no spikes/plates/fins/mane on the top of the back/tail, feelers

Thank you! I really like when things make sense, so I'm trying to work on both species design and its lore at the same time

Kirins are my beloved ones, probably because that purple kirin from the guide is the very first design I've made. But that's not its first version. First one was... well, rather bad quality. It was more of a random doodle than an actual design xD
