Prompt Response:
The world that Phillip ended up on, Center, is a known crossroads for species that have lost their original homes or planets. As such, there are a lot of sentient species that share the space! The first ones to come to the world were the Stikensi. These creatures resemble horse-sized canines, only they bear rather unnatural colorations as well. Their tails are thin, but naturally form a spiral shape. This is where their magic is kept, and most carry two of these tails. Normally they have spaniel-like ears, but variations on this have been seen. They are all extremely intelligent, and are known to have tribal lifestyle once they have found others of their species!
Another thing that should be noted is that they sport feather crests upon their heads, and additional feathers sprout from their shoulders and haunches. Their front legs resemble those of a bird as well, with taloned feet that are quite good at grasping items or climbing.
The next species that bears mentioning is simply known as the Muses. These creatures resemble overly long ferrets, but with slightly longer legs and an over abundance of fur fluff. Their ears stand tall and are usually tufted, resembling a rabbit's. What is of note are their eyes, which bear no pupil and tend to be almond-shaped. They bear tiny clawed fingers with thick paw pads, and their noses also are small slits, again resembling a rabbit's. What should be noted is that like Stikensi, they are intelligent and capable of great magic. However the difference is that Muses specialize in their magic, choosing from an early age a single field to hone their skills in. They find a secondary person to bond with, sharing both their mind, emotions, and magic with.
Then there are the Dragoons. This race has both a human form as well as a massive dragon form. They are easy to spot in either form however, due to their very distinctive armor. This armor is earned and unique to each individual, often after a great feat has been achieved. They come in many colors, and in the past were divided into Clans. Ever since the fall of their original world however they tend to travel alone, unsure how to interact with others they may encounter.
Then you have the Bassetflies. They resemble basset hounds, however each has a pair of butterfly wings which allow the normally rather heavy canine to fly! While they cannot speak, they are regarded as sentient because they have been shown to communicate via their movements and magic! While they come in many colors and varieties, it should be noted each tends to prefer a certain type of flower and becomes a well known cultivator of it. They are extremely good gardeners, bringing life to places that may have been devoid of it before.
Lastly, there are the dracomuses. These are a rather large, fluffy, and draconic breed that not only excel in support magic but also in physical strength. Scales protect their bodies, and thick fluff keeps their hard hide further protected. They tend to act as Guardians for other races, are capable of speech although with a fairly strong accent, and are one of the most determined if not stubborn races in all of Center.
