Lanternals
About Lanternals
Lanternals are a closed 13+ species owned by qKoya and KurooCrowe and designed by qKoya.
A humanoid kemonomimi type species, Lanternals are known for their core of fire that sits in their exposed rib cage and distinctive glow.
Originally spirits of light that guide or trick travelers, more recently humans have learned the secrets to temporarily magically binding them to one object or location (like inside a jar or lantern, to a lighthouse, etc.) Lanternals being used as personal sources of illumination for humans has caused some tension between the two species, and inspired many Lanternal tricksters.
In the wild, some Lanternals are benevolent, some mischievous. This makes any interactions with one a gamble- they tend to trick humans by pretending to be the flicker of a lantern or guiding light.
Are they leading you to a hidden treasure? Or to your doom?
About Grimhalla
Grimhalla are an aquatic themed subspecies of Lanternals.
'Grimhalla' combines 'halla' of Valhalla, with 'grim'- which, apart from its negative English meaning, is taken from the Fossegrim- a water spirit who plays enchanting music on the violin.
The Grimhalla of Valdivia are born of Leviathan, ancient ocean-dwelling god of the abyss. They're considered by some to be the perfect parallels to Lanternals; aquatic and void-touched whereas Lanternals are fire and light.
The most notable trait found in Grimhalla is their voids. Contrary to the Lanternal's core, the Grim's ribs hold an empty vessel. When a Grim is particularly powerful, the void in their chest can spread, unable to house their magic any longer. It can corrupt their tails, horns, wings, or even limbs.
The Grim’s relationship with humans isn’t well recorded. They join Lanternals in books of legends and myths with very little proof of their existence. Throughout time, the Grim have inspired some classic tales such as the mermaid and kraken. Generally, if there’s a story of a terrible monster at sea, it’s likely to be traced to a Grim or their god.
