Nyroi are some kind of vampires or demons originating in hell. But their race quickly spread in other dimension and worlds. As all vampires they need blood in order to survive. They do not burn in the light but holy symbols cause them discomfort. Younger Nyroi have a very childish appearance and are a bit smaller than humans; old ones are generally taller. They only die when they do not get enough blood, so they can have any age.
The wings can be either attached on the upper or lower back. There are strong arms below the furry fluff on which the wings are attached. All their hands/feet have thumbs for grabbing stuff.
Special Ability
When people are looking into their real(!) eyes they get hypnotized and fall asleep.
By that Nyroi can alter their dreams and choose whether they are good or bad ones.
When drinking this persons blood the Nyroi are also entering the person's dream.
Some Nyroi offer people good dreams in exchange for blood.
Some extort them for blood by giving them nightmares.
Nyroi only use their real eyes to hypnotize others. So they're closed most of the time.
Eyes
They are born blind; most of them don't even have pupils. However, there are some kind of special gems they make artificial eyes from. Once those eyes are implanted into their forehead they're able to see. The gems themselves are colorless until they get implanted and infused with the Nyroi's magic.
The only weakness of those eyes is that they're very sensitive to light. That's why most Nyroi only come out at night.
Nyroi cannot close those artificial eyes and when sunlight is cast on them they feel great pain.
Some courageous ones cover their third eye and dare to go out during daytime.
When they're in a person's dream they are able to "see" everything clear and in full colors with their regular eyes.
Bio Sonar
Nyroi are not dependent of those third eyes as they have some kind of bio sonar to orient themselves.
Their ears are therefore one of their most important body parts. Each Nyroi has fur-puffs in their ears to protect them from loud noise and dirt.When they're among themselves they only communicate through their bio sonar, which people with normal ears cannot hear. That's why some also call them the Silent Folk.
Despite their bio sonar there are only few Nyroi without a third eye. The gems are normally implanted at very young age without the Nyroi's consent.
The advantage of those third eyes is that the Nyroi are able to see colors with them.
Colors are treated like something holy by the Nyroi.
The gems allow them to see colors outside of dreams.
Eye Markings
They're often not taken seriously because of their appearance that's why they paint eyes on the fur on their wings to appear more menacing. It's some kind of dye made with a secret recipe. It can be removed with a liquid only produced by them.
Normally each Nyroi has a different eye pattern but the eye patterns within families look alike.
Their eye markings don't have any special power aside from looking good.
Some Nyroi use them to make a statement and paint closed eyes on their wings to show their good intentions.
Clothing
Their genitals are covered by their thick fur but some of them prefer to wear additional clothing; especially those living among humans. Females would generally cover their chest with cloth.
Other traits
Some of them have horns but they're rather uncommon. Their body markings vary a lot. Some of them have more, some less.
This is a closed species! Do not make your own! Do not heavily reference them or even steal them!
