Naga - snake people, ancestors came from African and Egyptian territories subspecies are gorgons, gorgons are often stereotyped to have snakes grow out as hair when in actuality, they are basilisks. modern gorgons are thought to turn targets permanently to stone upon their eyes being gazed upon, however, this is not the case. the stone casing naturally breaks over 1-2 days, and the target is freed. the species of gorgons originated in Greece and Roman cultures after Naga's had migrated. Ghosts - ghosts are a colloquial term for the souls of a person who has died. Since a ghost is a former human, upon being discovered, they must be interviewed and classified by the higher council of monsters and must abide by the rules set by them. Typically ghosts end up getting classified with different terms based on their form, how they became ghosts, and their general disposition. For instance, an enraged ghost who seems to be tied to a single place is referred to as a "Poltergeist". A happy ghost who is nothing more than a prankster and intends no harm to humans is referred to as a "Spook". A ghost who holds no visible form and can only be sensed when they possess an object is called a "Possession". In rare cases, a ghost will not take on soul and become animated Skeletons instead. For more information about Skeletons, see our article about Skeletons Magical Humans - Witches and wizards are often heavily discriminated against in the monster community, either for making their presence known far back in the 1800s or for being able to walk amongst humans without changes to their appearance. Lycanthropes - Lycan, or werewolves are humans who suffer from lycanthropy. Lycans are often born as actual pups, and as they grow, they lose more of their wolf-like traits. Upon reaching the age of 14, a Lycan's ears and tail disappear, and after preforming a coming of age ritual with their pack, the young lycan is able to be introduced into human society. A lycan will, of course, revert back to their animal-like state during a full moon. Most lycan will meet with their pack on the week of a full moon and roam the forest together.
