[ Corundus ] These beings are an ancient species, having been around since the dawn of time. They are cave dwellers, living in the darkest, most advanced tunnel system of their own design. Due to their eyes being sensitive to light, they remain underground until night, where they rise and hunt as one. They are born soldiers, built to survive the harsh lands of Aradia. They never leave their own behind and have a secret language or code that none could learn. They are like a close family, being able to know what each other is thinking and can understand each others signals and vibrations they make. They are naturally tall and strong in build. It is customary for their species to be named after jewels or stones, as their kind relate strongly to minerals, even in their looks. They wear a special kind of armour, that is created by their own body. It can resemble any kind of material, but it is categorized under one name, the Adenamium. They are able to move it to any part of them they wish, as well as get rid of it entirely. It takes a moment for them to switch between armour and no armour, however, and they cannot cover the area between their eyes or under their chin, giving them a weak point. The only one who can fully protect themselves from any attack is their lord. Their armour limits them in many ways. Without it, they are incredibly fast, and fantastic fliers. They have giant dragon like wings and tails that fan out to help them turn. While in the air, they are able to teleport by twirling and warping the space around then. They are also good swimmers. With armour, they would fall from the sky or sink to the bottom of the ocean. They can hold their breath for longer than the average person, but can still drown. They can also turn invisible, but any sort of clothing would still show up, therefore, they have to wear their armour instead, since it’s a part of them. Their eyes cannot turn invisible either, since it would make them blind. To completely blend in, they have to close their eyes, yet, if they move, their reflection of where they stand can be seen, so they have to be wary. They also have very good senses, able to feel even the slightest vibration in the ground. They can sense oncoming natural disasters, and with their frill like ears, can pick up sounds from miles away. These species also hold a secret, a cure to all. The only thing it doesn't heal is themselves. It flows through their veins, activated by their saliva, which also has paralyzing properties, but this cure of theirs comes with consequences when the wrong person takes it. It is deep within their eyes, that they can see if someone is destined to live. If they are not, the cure will heal that person but kill in order to restore balance. This is why, these creatures protect this cure with their lives and would rather sacrifice themselves in order to do so. It is their duty and has always been. They can scale mountains with ease, much like a spider does, but cannot wear gloves or shoes in order to do so. They also have claws, which they can make longer at will. As a form of attack, they stomp at the ground, creating pillars of rocks to come forth. Diamond and other minerals are formed wherever they walk, yet if they focus, they can prevent it. They are good at hiding their tracks when they want to disappear, and they have a severe reaction to a material only found on Aradia. It’s called Matrixium, and is silver in colour. If they touch it, it burns through their near indestructible armour and skin like acid. If ingested or breathed in, it will likely kill them, acting like poison. Their Lord is the only one with the power to see into the future. He is tasked with keeping his hive in check, for without him, the group would fall apart. It is up to him to be aware of coming dangers, to guide them through battles, and to see an attack before it is upon them. He can also stomp at the ground to get the attention of his people, in which they formerly salute him or bow. They have keen senses, and with it, they can smell fear. While they may seem unbeatable, they actually have an enemy, which hunts them for food. This species is one they have to be extra careful off, and that is the Terror Wolves.
