Banshee (Kiara): They wail when people are going to die. Mer says they’re capable of seeing when someone’s near their death and are reacting to that. She also says they only cry when they feel like warning people about an impending death.
Leshy (Wendell): Big human shaped Phasms with bright green eyes and hair of living plants. They can change their size from as small as a blade of grass to the size of the tallest tree and also shapeshift. They’re mostly woodland guardians and are pretty chill as long as you don’t piss them off. Though they are prone to mischief too.
Cetan (Tahatan): Hawk spirits with incredible vision, speed, and dedication.
Kongamato (Ameena): They’re red-black flying lizards that pretty much look like pterodactyls. They can swim pretty well too, and don’t much care for people coming in and messing their areas up. Mostly though, they just flip their boats over, unless the person’s being a complete asshole.
Taniwha (Rua): They live near water, can take multiple forms (mostly sharks, whales, a giant lizard like form or human) and are good at tunneling and creating harbours. At least that’s what the stuff I read said. Who knows how much of that is true.
