Anbypeds

History
Anbypeds' motherland is Astrae, Arcadia. There they live in many ways all throughout the planet, each depending on the type of anbyped.

Arcadia has some very extreme conditions, stable weather is uncommon and the flora is not very amicable, thus the fauna of the planet had to adapt. This adaptation lead to Astrae's fauna division into beasts and anbypeds. Beasts developed physical strength and high endurance allowing them to fight for their survival, however, anbypeds evolved and increased their brain capacity.

Canids were the anbypeds that first contacted humans when they crashed on Arcadia.

With the arrival of humans, anbypeds got their hands on a new type of technology and weapons. Though their first creations were rudimentary, there was a clear difference when encountering beasts and using firearms.

Anbypeds were aware of sorcery's creation, but since they couldn't use that type of skill didn't really mind it at all.

When the time came of war between humans and drakonians, some anbypeds aided the humans while others defended drakonians and shared their beliefs with magic and despise of sorcery.

Characteristics
There are many groups of anbypeds. Not all of them can have offspring with one another, only those of the same group are able to generate fertile descendants. However, all groups are positioned under the same banner, to distinguish them from beasts and avoid confusion.

Anbypeds can't have offspring with drakonians.

Anbypeds can't have offspring with humans.

Principal groups of anbypeds
Amphibians

There are 2 types of amphibians, those who have gills because they are born in the water, and those who lack them because they are born on land. While amphibians with gills are able to live both outside and inside water indefinitely, those who lack gills can't breath underwater, thus, they only live on land.

Amphibians have both male and female genitalia.

Amphibians are excellent swimmers thanks to their long tail that matches its length with their height, however they don't exceed the meter in the latter. Amphibians with gills have webbed hands and feet, those who don't have gills don't have this characteristic.

They usually live by themselves from the moment they are born until they die, they are very territorial and only join others when mating season comes.

Birds

The most remarkable characteristic of birds is that they are the only anbypeds able to fly. They have enormous wings that come from both sides of their bodies.

They lack upper limbs. They use their hind legs when they have to do any job involving grabbing objects or simply eating food.

Birds are anatomically divided among males and females. They have a partner for life, meaning that if their partner dies they will not find another one.

They live on big floating cities. This structures are plates of various materials, on top, the construction is made, but on the bottom of the plate there are big quantities of mana. Thanks to witchcraft these structures are able to soar the skies.

Canids

Most canids live in large nomadic groups, though some types prefer to live a life of solitude.

They have strong jaws and an excellent sense of hearing

Canids are anatomically divided among males and females.

Felids

Felids are by far the fastest anbypeds on land. They have retractable pupils, this allows them a wonderful sight during night.

Felids are anatomically divided among males and females.

Fish

While Felids are the fastest anbypeds on land, fish are on water.

Though they are able to walk on land, they aren't able to survive long periods of time outside water.

Fishes are anatomically divided among males and females.

Although the environment they live in or their customs may differ from one another, all of them have 2 characteristics in common. They all have gills and are able to walk on land by using their hind legs.

Magic
All anbypeds show an extraordinary ability when it comes to using magic throughout witchcraft. Though they still need to use mana as a power source, the amount they need is quite small compared to what humans or drakonians need.

Sorcery is impossible in anbypeds, for this skill is only found in humans and rarely in drakonians. Anbypeds can't have offspring with neither of this species.
