STRIX
Name of Species: Strix
{CLICK HERE for Appearance, Culture, and Origin}
Baseline Dimension: The Strix come in a variety of heights and size, from the smallest being 4ft and to their biggest being 6ft. They however do weigh very lightly and are often leaned muscled.
Baseline Appearance: Strix easily resemble really large owl harpies. They possess the scaled feet of a bird, talons included however their arms are not permanently wings. Instead their wings form a cloak around their body. They wear a set of headgear with a mask attached to complete the owl look. When they fly their arms fuse the cloak to become wings. They maintain a relatively child like if they are on the smaller range of dimensions.
Culture/Origin of Species: The Strix live in the colder forest regions of Mistere. With impeccable hearing, the Strix have adopted to a life in the trees and the night, a trait they still possess in whatever remains of Mistere’s forest. The Strix are surprisingly charismatic and have great people skills, allowing them to live in arenas suited for their needs, often while giving something back. However the Strix are nocturnal, and often take time to assimilate themselves to the more common diurnal.
The Strix share a symbiotic relationship with a special moss. In exchange for protection against herbivores that eat the moss by growing the moss inside their feathers, the Strix are able to use the spores produced by this moss to become invisible. The areas where they grow the moss before giving a Strix Owlet their moss remains a mystery outside of Moss caretakers.
They have a special ritual they hold every year to their patron goddess they call "The Face of the Moon", where using a special talon gloves that allow them to grab burning coal. Then two teams of ritual priests while attempt to fling the coal while it is still burning into the opponent's hoops. The moss's reaction to the heat of fire causes them to glow a variety of colors, thus becoming a spectacle of light.
