A small pod of Thymops made their way to Alu Spring, drawn by a call from Queen Tariel to celebrate the birth of her twin daughters.

:[ Thymops ]:

These are a unique type of Naiad, born and cultivated in a distant land where life was sustained by a different magical source. Thymops are a genetic evolution adapted to survival in aquatic environments. Their tailfins and dispositions have taken on characteristics of Lobsters.

• They are Naiad influenced by the environment of their homeland
  
• Their tail is an exoskeleton and they shed each time they grow.
  
• They can regrow lost limbs (arms, hand, feelers)
  
• They are incredibly strong and can exert up to 100 foot pounds per square inch with their claws.
  
• Unlike Naiad, they cannot split their tail for a set of temporary legs. Instead, their physiology allows for 6 small little legs to grow from their tail to aid in walking on land. They are not fast, but can scoot along on small legs.
  
• They can tuck their tails up to dart amazingly fast. Other than that, they are no amazing swimmers.
  
• They are resistant to pressure and temperature in the deep waters, like all Naiad
  
• They get energy from Water as do all Naiad
  
• They start life (now) as a special pearl that is cultivated in the Cave of Life.

Breeding
For breeding purposes, they are considered full Naiad.

• First generation Thymops will come from pearls, or special events that bring them in from the wilds.
  
• Second generation Thymops can come from Thymops+Naiad pairs, or two Thymops parents. The chances are low to produce a Thymops in mixed couples because the trait is recessive, and it depends on what type the mother is.
  
• The offspring will be whatever the mother is.
  
• All other breeding rules apply.

General Temperment:
Talk about an angry bunch. Thymops can be summed up as feisty, hotheads, and territorial. They're always ready for a fight! Females tend to be players and will make the first move.

Racial Abilities:
Watch out for that barb at the end of their tail! It'll leave a nasty bite. It is both painful, and venomous.

A small pride of Teros made their way to Alu Spring, drawn by a call from Queen Tariel to celebrate the birth of her twin daughters.

:[ Teros ]:

These are a unique type of Naiad, born and cultivated in a distant land where life was sustained by a different magical source. Teros are a genetic evolution adapted to survival in aquatic environments. Their tailfins and dispositions have taken on characteristics of Lionfish.

• They are Naiad influenced by the environment of their homeland
  
• They have soft, smooth skin with large spines and a fanciful tail
  
• Unlike Naiad, they cannot split their tail for a set of temporary legs. There is nothing in their physiology that allows for surviving outside of water.
  
• They float elegantly in water. They are average swimmers
  
• They are resistant to pressure and temperature in the deep waters, like all Naiad
  
• They get energy from Water as do all Naiad
  
• They start life (now) as a special pearl that is cultivated in the Cave of Life.

Breeding
For breeding purposes, they are considered full Naiad.

• First generation Teros will come from pearls, or special events that bring them in from the wilds.
  
• Second generation Teros can come from Teros+Naiad pairs or two Teros parents. The chances are low to produce a Teros in mixed couples because the trait is recessive, and it depends on what type the mother is.
  
• In Teros+Teros breeding, there is chance for 2-4 babies
  
• The offspring will be whatever the mother is.
  
• All other breeding rules apply.

General Temperament:
They have a very positive view of themselves over others and enjoy the appreciation for their looks. They enjoy swimming slowly so their fins flutter in the water gracefully. They are superficial and patronizing.

Racial Abilities:
Their back and side spines are venomous to other naiad and pae, but not their own kind. This pain is excruciating and will render the victim helpless. They have the ability to “lay down” their spines for naiad-to-naiad interactions.

A small swarm of Anago made their way to Alu Spring, drawn by a call from Queen Tariel to celebrate the birth of her twin daughters.

:[ Anago ]:

These are a unique type of Naiad, born and cultivated in a distant land where life was sustained by a different magical source. Anago are a genetic evolution adapted to survival in aquatic environments. Their tailfins and dispositions have taken on characteristics of Electric Eels.

• They have slick skin
  
• Their bodies are long and slender with a fin along the bottom and top of their tail.
  
• Unlike Naiad, they cannot split their tail for a set of temporary legs. There is nothing in their physiology that allows for surviving outside of water.
  
• They are quick swimmers
  
• They can jump out of the water
  
• They are resistant to pressure and temperature in the deep waters, like all Naiad
  
• They get energy from Water as do all Naiad
  
• They start life (now) as a special pearl that is cultivated in the Cave of Life.

Breeding
For breeding purposes, they are considered full Naiad.

• First generation Anago will come from pearls, or special events that bring them in from the wilds.
  
• Second generation Anago can come from Anago+Naiad pairs, or two Anago parents. The chances are low to produce a Anago in mixed couples because the trait is recessive, and it depends on what type the mother is.
  
• The offspring will be whatever the mother is.
  
• All other breeding rules apply.

General Temperament:
This is a mischievous bunch. They'll smile this fake smile and suddenly all the jewelry on your person is gone. Their speech is like an oil spill you keep sliding down until you've given them your birthright- not because they need it, but because they find enjoyment in it. Don't worry, you'll eventually get your stuff back. They're pranksters, not thieves.

Racial Abilities:
They give off a small spark of electricity in defense. They cannot use it as a weapon - strictly defense. It's just a powerful static shock so it cannot paralyze or injure the other Pae. They can curl up to increase it’s power.

A small consortium of Okten made their way to Alu Spring, drawn by a call from Queen Tariel to celebrate the birth of her twin daughters.

:[ Okten ]:

These are a unique type of Naiad, born and cultivated in a distant land where life was sustained by a different magical source. Okten are a genetic evolution adapted to survival in aquatic environments. Their tailfins and dispositions have taken on characteristics of Octopuses.

• They are Naiad influenced by the environment of their homeland
  
• They are soft bodied and have slick skin

• They are good short distance swimmers
  
• They walk on the seabed
  
• Their arms have a mind of their own
  
• They are resistant to pressure and temperature in the deep waters, like all Naiad
  
• They get energy from Water as do all Naiad
  
• They start life (now) as a special pearl that is cultivated in the Cave of Life.

Breeding
For breeding purposes, they are considered full Naiad.

• First generation Okten will come from pearls, or special events that bring them in from the wilds.
  
• Second generation Okten can come from Okten+Naiad pairs, or two Okten parents. The chances are low to produce a Okten in mixed couples because the trait is recessive, and it depends on what type the mother is.
  
• The offspring will be whatever the mother is.
  
• All other breeding rules apply.

General Temperament:
Can anyone say... spineless? BADA-CHA! No, seriously, don't ever expect an Okten to back you up in a bar fight. They're also pretty clingy creatures- befriending one may mean a friend for life whether you want it or not. They are very playful.

Racial Abilities:
They can fit into tiny places thanks to their lack of a vertebrae (invertebrate). They also can squirt ink from an ink sac under their legs. The ink can temporarily blind another pae or predator and alters smell and taste for the duration.

A small bloom of Umbri made their way to Alu Spring, drawn by a call from Queen Tariel to celebrate the birth of her twin daughters.

• They get energy from Water as do all Naiad
  
• They start life (now) as a special pearl that is cultivated in the Cave of Life.

General Temperament:
Umbri like to just go with the flow. They're pretty laid back, like the Naiacorn, but seem to have a more realistic view of the world than those hippies. Umbri are known for getting along well with most others and keeping a cool head in stressful situations.

Racial Abilities:
The ends of their tentacles are venomous to other naiad and pae, but not their own kind (peeing on the sting doesn't work, but you can try). This pain will be burning and painful but won't render the user helpless.
