Human
The Euthoran human is one of many examples in the Manaverse of humans evolving or otherwise existing completely independently on various planets that have had no outside contact with other human-bearing planets. This particular variant of human is notable in not only being almost invariably fair-skinned no matter where on the planet they are from, but also having a true form of melanism which expresses rarely as a result of genetic mutation. Melanism in Euthoran humans seems to bear no evolutionary advantage or disadvantage, but they tend to be somewhat darker in tone than the non-melanistic instances of dark-skinned humans on other worlds.
Aside from having the capability to be truly melanistic, Euthoran humans have few inherent differences to other humans across the Manaverse. While they are almost always light-skinned, hair and eye colors can vary widely, though they don't stray terribly far from what is considered normal elsewhere. Hair can be varying shades of brown, black, auburn, blond, white, or gray. Eyes can be varying shades of black, gray, white, brown, blue, green, hazel, violet, red, or yellow. Average height is approximately five feet seven inches at adulthood, with males being taller.
Humans can possess Soul Phantasms, or "powers", and can learn and use magic. The Euthoran human is known for being the most widespread and populous of the various sapient races of the world, creating sprawling cities in almost any climate or terrain. One unique ability seemingly exclusive to humans-- though there are very rare cases of it occurring in Shapeshifters-- is Dracomancy, the psychic affinity for and ability to command dragons. This power is genetic, and traces back to a woman named Isden Aliira, who forged a bond with the first dragon, Shyr. Both Isden and Shyr passed the ability to create this bond down to their offspring; however, because Shyr was the first of all dragons, he is the ancestor to all and thus all dragons have this ability, meaning all dragons are affected by Dracomancy-- aside from those very few unrelated to him.

Crag Lupynn
This description was partially generated by ChatGPT and will be rewritten at a later date.
The Crag Lupynn, Cataegis Scopulus, is a lupinid species native to rugged, mountainous regions. The species is well-adapted to its harsh environment, with dusky fur that helps it blend in with the rocky terrain and large, batlike wings that allow it to glide between craggy outcroppings.
The Crag Lupynn is known for its large ears, which it uses to detect prey and predators from a distance. Its most notable ability, however, is its sharp, hypersonic howl that can stun prey and predators alike. This unique feature has allowed the Crag Lupynn to dominate its mountainous habitat and hunt prey that other predators are unable to reach.
Although the Crag Lupynn is typically a solitary hunter, it is known to form small packs during mating season. Females give birth to litters of two to four pups, which are raised in rock crevices for protection. The species is not commonly kept as a domesticated animal, as its hypersonic howl can be difficult to control and potentially dangerous to humans.

Gleamhound
This description was partially generated by ChatGPT and will be rewritten at a later date.
Nyctocanis Radiata, commonly known as the Gleamhound, is a unique and captivating species of lupinid that thrives in a range of tropical environments, from dense rainforests to arid savannas. This nocturnal creature's appearance is defined by its short and thin fur, which is dark in color and speckled with bioluminescent spots that emit a bright blue-green light at night. Unlike other lupinids, the Gleamhound's skin is visible through its fur, and it is adorned with a series of intricate, branching lines that form a pattern of rays radiating from the center of the Gleamhound's back. These markings not only serve as a means of communication with its pack but also disorient and confuse prey.
The Gleamhound is similar in size to a medium-sized dog and has a lean, muscular build that is reminiscent of a greyhound. Unlike other lupinids, it lacks the typical wolf or fox-like features, giving it a distinct appearance. Its fur is predominantly dark brown or gray, and the bioluminescent marking on its back gives it a unique and vibrant appearance that warns away potential predators. The Gleamhound has keen senses and excellent night vision, which it uses to hunt for prey, such as small mammals and birds.
This social creature is highly communicative and lives in packs of up to a dozen individuals. Members of a pack communicate with each other using a range of vocalizations and body language, and the bioluminescent markings on the Gleamhound's back play a crucial role in this communication. The Gleamhound's markings emit a subtle, pulsating glow that varies in intensity and rhythm, conveying complex messages to other members of its pack.

Snowcape Lynx
This description was partially generated by ChatGPT and will be rewritten at a later date.
The Snowcape Lynx is a medium-sized theailurid that inhabits the cold taiga forests and mountains of Euthora. They have a thick, grayish-white fur coat with black spots and tufted ears, which allow them to blend seamlessly into the snowy environment. They are excellent climbers, with sharp retractable claws and powerful hind legs that allow them to leap great distances.
These lynxes are primarily crepuscular hunters, preying on small mammals such as snowshoe hares, voles, and lemmings. They also occasionally hunt birds and fish, making them versatile predators. They are solitary creatures, with a range of several miles, and only come together during the mating season. They naturally compete with the Sulsian Wolf where their ranges overlap.
Due to their elusive nature and nocturnal habits, Snowcapes have often been regarded as mystical creatures in local folklore. They were highly respected by early settlers of the region and even today are sometimes believed to have supernatural powers.
