Magical Creatures (Tèarmann Chronicles)

Letriks

Welcome to the world of letriks!

A letrik's magic is white.

As a heads up, I made up this magical creature. They are foxes with electric blue fur instead of red. In their human form, letriks are typically short in stature.

Unlike some other magical creatures, letriks tend to favor their letrik form. They usually live in the denser parts of woods, both in the human world as in the quasi-equus lands in packs.

It can vary whether different packs are friendly to each other or not. Wars between them are violent and last until the other pack surrenders, is captured, so ceases to exist. A pack will rarely settle down, but when they do, they are very territorial. Part of the reason behind that is they are aware that their small size can put them at a disadvantage.

Packs of letriks can be quite small, sometimes no more than thirty of them traveling together. Because of the tight knit community, like a family, it can be challenging for a letrik to join another pack. The leading cause of a letrik without a pack is because something happened to theirs. Especially if it was wiped out by another pack of letriks, they often opt to live on their own or with other magical creatures.

If a human requires help, they tend to be kind and do so, sometimes shedding their letrik form to appear less threatening. They have been known to adopt human babies into their back if the child was abandoned and raise them, sometimes the human remaining there their entire life.

As they live in the woods, their diet tends to consist of berries and small animals.

Letrik's magic gives them electrical powers. Their eyes tend to glow bright blue when they use their electric abilities, more so when they're using more of their ability. Because of their ability, they cannot be electrocuted. Some say it gives them an excellent sense of smell, like a fox, as well as other skills. Others say it comes naturally because of their form, but they tend to be able to tap into the sense of smell, etc, in their human form.

A good amount of them, around half or so, can change their fur to red instead of blue to appear as an actual fox.

For a letrik, increased magic can be memory-erasing and the ability to suck electricity out of objects (when it technically isn't possible).

Like other magical creatures, letriks magic, when marrying outside their kind, does not tend to dominate but hovers in the background. It is more common for them to take after the other parent but have a small electric ability, say like the ability not to be electrocuted.
