KumaChosen Prompt: Are there any other sentient races/species?
Prompt Response:
Kuma’s world could be called an “odds-and-ends drawer” in habitat form. There are many creatures of many forms, but rarely are there more than one of any type. It’s been theorized (not by Kuma, but by others of the world) that all of the inhabitants are dimensional travelers, who wound up in this place by accident. Not many of them want to find a way home, though.
Classifying the species in any biological way is difficult, as while some are superficially similar, what they know about their own biology means they’re far different. For example, Primrose, Todd, and Sitri have similar muzzle shapes, so they could be related, right? But Sitri is a breed of dragon, Primrose is a being made of stardust, and Todd… well, nobody knows what exactly he is.
Fortunately for Kuma, Kalons are one of the few species which there are multiple of in the world. Unfortunately for Kuma, the other Kalon, Verchiel, isn’t very friendly. This isn’t to say that she’s mean, or that she hates Kuma; she just doesn’t like to talk to people in general. She spends most of her time in silent contemplation, and whenever Kuma tries to talk to her, she is always ignored.
The Beast Hunter is a being made of stardust, like Primrose, though humanoid in shape. She may have a ferocious appearance, with a dragon skull on her head and sharp claws adorning her clothes, but she is one of Kuma’s best friends. Beast Hunter considers it her job to classify each of the inhabitants of the world, based on what is known about their biology and what can be inferred by their appearance. It’s a far cry from hunting beasts, but when all the “beasts” are just as sapient as she is, it’s a necessity to complete her role.
The “dragon-types” are Ginger, Matki, and Sitri. Unlike common legends of dragons, the dragon-types of this world are fluffy with large ears. Sitri is unusual even among the dragon-types due to their lack of wings and horns, and the only reason they’re called a dragon-type is because they call themselves a dragon.
The “reptile-types” are the smallest group, consisting of only Cree and Nicole. Cree herself doesn’t know what her species is, but as she has scales Beast Hunter saw it fit to put her in the group with scales. The fact that it made Nicole grumble about “not being special” was just a nice bonus.
The “mammal-types” consist of both of the Kalons, Aldous, and Todd (for lack of a better place to put him).
There have been arguments about placing Sitri in there, since they certainly look more like a Kalon than any of the dragons, but Beast Hunter is adamant about going by Sitri’s own description of their species. For now, the wingless, hornless creature will stay as a dragon.
The “artificial-types” consist of creatures made of something non-biological. This includes Beast Hunter herself, as well as Primrose, Creamy, and Keet. Creamy is made up of an artificial slime, and Keet appears to be partially made of shadows. Both Creamy and Keet are incapable of speech, but Beast Hunter believes they show a higher-than-animal intelligence. Keet has shown the ability to communicate through pictures, so his sapience is undoubtable. However, while Creamy seems to be capable of advanced thought, he tends to slobber over any communication tools Beast Hunter provides him.
