Crystal 2: Fauna
A deposit of information on creatures that supposedly once existed in Greece but no longer do.
Geode Spider: Geode spiders are the perfect ambush predators. When stationary, a geode spider is nearly indistinguishable from a boulder or other rock formation, but their underbellies sparkle with prismatic quartz. They can burrow underground and prefer to attack from below, pulling their prey beneath the ground before entombing them in stony webbing. Victims frequently recover from the webbings’ petrification just in time to feel the stone spider’s acid-dripping mandibles sink into their flesh. These are classified as Type 3 Crystalline beings.
Geote Geotes are fragments of pure thought given life and substance. They are logical, emotionally distant, and naive to the ways of society in the world. Some approach life with Innocent curiosity, eager to embrace the wealth of experience the world has to offer. Others remain resentful and aloof, bearing a higher purpose in mind at all times. Though they often seem dispassionate, when a strong emotion seizes them, they experience it powerfully. For example, Geotes don't get annoyed, they become enraged. These are classified as Type 3 Crystalline beings.
Silili: Silili have a horse build with white and green hair and feathers over their body. Parts of their face, legs and tale have dragon like white scales that run across them. Silili’s are a class 2 Crystalline being, meaning that parts of them are very outwardly adapt to focusing the power of crystals. This aspect shows its self as metallic receptors that come protrude out of the body much as a bone would.
Forces of Nature - Elementals given physical form. These creatures much like their name are near unstoppable beings being
Shadhavar - An antelope like creature, the Shadhavar roams the plains where the wind blows freely. Graceful and a little melancholy, the animal stands approximately six feet tall at the shoulder, but is very thin. The Shadhavar has strange hollow horns that grow to enormous size, often as long as three feet. Wind whistles through holes in these bones to create a beautiful and haunting tune that carries for miles.
The color of harvest wheat, the Shadhavar's fur grows close to its body, with tufts at the tail and just above its onyx hooves. Dark patches mark its face, dripping down from its eyes — the stains of perpetual tears.
Nephilim - Gods who walk on the mortal plane they are the children of greater gods and mortals. Once awakened they are exceptionally powerful beings capable of vast magical power.
Metushélach - Children of Nephilim these beings are next to divine in nature. Capable of great magics they can learn magics from any of the Nephilim.
Kyklops - Vaguely related to Giants these creatures are the mortal children of Primordials. Capable of great feats even the gods fear them
Centimanes - Gigantic Monstrous creatures with 100 or more arms. They are siblings to the titans and the Kyklops
Karkinos - Giant crabs that can weigh thousand of pounds. Usually blue these creatures are massive and can hide well within the water.
Akephaloi - are demihuman creatures resembling a human without a head, with their face on their torso.
Arimaspi - They are beastial creatures commonly resebling Centaur but with 2 pairs of wings and a face bearing markings of Various arnimals. All four of their feet are scaly and hooved, and a long sinuous tail,
Astomi - The Astomi, are an race of people who had no need to eat or drink anything at all. They survived by smelling apples and flowers and perfumes that they sprayed on their victims.
Sciapodae - The only defining trait that truly separates humans from Sciapodes is that, in the place of a pair of smaller feat (like humans), the Sciapodes have a singular giant foot on which to balance themselves upright.
It should be noted, while the foot of a Sciapod does resemble a human foot, in all but size, not every Sciapod's foot faces in the same direction; some Sciapodes are right-footed, while others are left-footed.
Lapiths - This bald humanoid looks strikingly human except for the long folds of skin that droop from his head and neck to just above his ankles.
