Powers

Firebelly: The Tapeti has the ability to breathe fire and consume coal/other flammable items such as wood and charcoal for fuel. Water does not harm Firebelly Tapeti's, but it will burn out their flames and cause their nostrils to steam when wet. Tapeti's will need to greatly refuel the longer they stay wet.

Aqualung: The Tapeti has the ability to breathe underwater despite being a non-aquatic species. Some Tapeti with this power can even changer their buoyancy to be able to sink and walk on the seafloor in a way that's similar to walking on the moon.

Healingpalm: The Tapeti has the ability to heal any lifeforms around them on a mild scale. Albiet it is common, it's not powerful and only works on small scale injuries such as papercuts and other small scratches. Higher levels of this power are possible, but it's more rare to achieve anything above healing small cuts, bug bites, or minor infections. The max power this ability has is healing broken/fractured bones, albiet only 1 bone at a time.

Powerless: Tapeti's born without a power tend to be physically stronger and have an easier time at being above average fitness without trying as much. Semi-high metabolisms are more prevalent for those who are powerless. Being powerless is nothing to be ashamed of though, Tapeti's don't discriminate with powers each other are born with, and all are treated equally and fairly besides friendly competition here and there (example: vollyball match of firebellies vs aqualungs).
