Demi-Chimera
The different species and sub-species of sentient beings in Felarya. From giants to tinies, and preys to predators. From the ingenious Humans, to the reclusive Majuras, the noble Sphinxes, the mysterious Nemesises, the peaceful Gerridis or the fierce Crimson Maidens.
A rare, almost legendary race, demi-chimeras are usually humanoid but their appearance varies a lot from one specimen to another. Each of them is a unique combination of human and animal features such as tails, horns, fur, scales etc., and they are usually very brightly colored. A few of them are more animal-looking, with few human features at all. Most of them are human-sized, though there has been report of giant specimens roaming the jungle. However, even smaller demi-chimeras are rarely bothered by predators at all. This is because of their frightening ability to manipulate and alter, to a certain extent, the reality and probabilities of the future. This means, for example, that if you set a trap to catch a demi-chimera, if there is even a very remote possibility that the trap can malfunction or miss, it will likely happen. Moreover, should you anger one of them, they can give you terribly bad luck. All the things that could go wrong WILL suddenly go wrong, along with many thigns you didn't expect. It's like having the universe against you, and on a world like Felarya, needless to say it's not very healthy. However demi-chimeras are peaceful, calm, and intelligent creatures, and you really have to seek trouble to get one angry at you. Strangely, their mouths seem unable to modulate any sounds and they use telepathy instead, although they are not always willing to communicate. Some demi-chimeras are very adept at writing and prefer to use this means in order to deal with humans. Some of them have been sighted around the Lake of illusions and the Misty glade.
