An Erementaru Maü, or Element Cat, is a catlike creature whose origins are in Asia and Egypt. When the dragons moved west, the smaller ones bred with cats and produced a very surprising outcome. The offspring could control the elements, and they had wings that corresponded with the element they controlled. The wings would only appear if the Mau was fighting, trying to attract a mate, or if it was startled or scared. They seem to just appear out of thin air. Oftentimes there are mutations, one of them being 'long snout syndrome'. The Mau is born with a longer, more dragonlike snout. This is quite rare. They can also be born stunted, and stay small and babylike forever. This means they never grow their wings, though they still control their elemental power. In very rare cases, a Mau can be born without an elemental power at all. These Mau are called 'runts' and are usually cast out of Prides.

Earth Mau are usually not very creative. They are usually in shades of grey or brown. They are very strong and stubborn, and aren't very good at being nice to others. They can be very stoic and are good leaders if guided correctly. They are proud of themselves and even can be vain. They love the earth and live in the Great Plains, where they can dig good burrows and hunt moles and rats. They are usually about the size of a large dog when full grown.



Water Mau are intuitive thinkers. They have a limit to their imagination and are very logical. They are good friends to all aquatice animals and can hold their breath underwater for a very long time. They aren't very good leaders because they give way to pressure quite easily. They are very motherly and caring and have a gifted ability of healing. They can change the temperature of the water they control. Water Mau are herbivores and feed off of seaweed and moss they can find at the bottom of the sea. They are usually blue or green, which helps them blend in their aquatic world. Their pride resides in a large underwater cave in the middle of the ocean. They are fairly small, about the size of a regular cat.



Fire Mau are mean and merciless. They are carnivores. They usually have a mean, power-hunger mindset and can't seem to get a grip on reality. They are very clever, however, and extremely intelligent. They are difficult to take care of as they will snap at you and burn you, if provoked. They tend to be very vocal, and their yowling can be heard from many yards away. They reside in a dormant volcano and hunt volcano rabbits that wander their way onto the plains. Food is often scarce for them, and they will often thieve from the other prides to eat. They are about the size of a horse when full grown. Though they control fire, they can still be burned by it. Their powers tend to get out of control very often. They tend to be flame-colored, in the reds and oranges and blacks. Very rarely, they are blue.



Ether, or life Mau are very small, and very much in likeness to fairies. A small toad is a big kill for them. They are very smart and creative, as they paint the patterns onto butterfly wings and flowers in the world of Mau. They are hard to capture, being so small. They are pushovers, and will cater to your every whim if you tell them to. They will do all that is in their power to protect their plants and bugs from harm. They reside in the various meadows and forests across the world of Mau. The only places you will not find them are the realm of the water and fire Mau. They are about the size of a large rat. Fire Mau often capture them for fun, just to watch the poor fragile things suffer. They are often natural colors or the colors of flowers or bugs.



The Animal Mau work with the Ether Mau to keep life in their land running like clockwork. They are gifted healers, and are the doctors of the Mau world. They will take in a sick or injured Mau, and do not carry grudges very easily. They are smart with healing herbs and they can easily obtain them from the Ether. Animal Mau are a rarer species and can only come from when a Water Mau and an Ether Mau have an egg. They reside in all corners of Mau, but they usually live in the forest, where they are close to their fairylike friends.



The Air Mau are the rarest of all the elemental Mau. They are extremely intelligent and are the writers of the ancient books of lore. These Mau are the ones that go around spreading news or mediating battles. Though despite them sounding godly, the Air Mau are very happy, carefree, and silly. They love to play and are almost the clowns of the Mau world. They reside on a mountaintop above the Great Plains, where they are as close to the sky as possible. They are the only Mau that can truly fly instead of just glide, and it is their favorite pastime. The Air Mau come in all the colors of the rainbow and control bad weather in Mau.



Midget Mau are uncommon Mau that live in the houses of the town square, if they haven't been accepted into a clan. They can boast any type of personality, as they never reach their full elemental power. It is very hard for the females to attract their mates, because they do not have wings to show off. These Mau come in all colors of the Rainbow, and they are usually small and baby-sized.



A Natural Mau is very rare. This means that they do not have an elemental power at all. They may have some attraction towards an element, but they never receive their power. They are often cast out and live as commonfolk in the town square. They can be any size, but it often depends on the parents.

Mau can live two ways. The first is as a commonfolk in the village, or the second as a pride member in one of the six in the world of Mau.

Commonfolk life is similar to the life of you. They live in a house in the square and work their pay to put food on the table. They can and will often leave Mau to visit their masters. They can have various jobs, such as the blacksmith or the farmer.

The pride members are more wild. They live off of the land and are accustomed to survival and hard times. If the Mau has a master, it may leave often to visit it, but its real home is where its pride lays.

Usually the capturer of the Mau [artist] decides what way of life the Mau has, but sometimes they may give you the choice.



Female Mau are usually the ones to find the mate in pride life. Commonfolk may do differently, though. The female will show off her elemental power to the male of her choice to find a mate. Mau don't mate for life, but once they breed with another Mau the bond between the two is unbreakable. If one Mau dies the other will watch its grave until its death.



- Mau grow feathers on their tails! For every year they age, they grow a feather. This continues until they turn ten, when they have five on each side. Mau are immortal, and they age after their feathering with knowledge. The more they know, the older they will seem to be.
- Mau babies are called 'featherlings', and they are born without any elemental power and they are born white, very similar to a dalmatian. As they grow their fur color comes in. Their fur colors are fully developed by age five. In rare cases, an 'albino' may be born, and these Mau don't have any markings at all.
