Nebuians

A bizarre race of sun-worshiping shapeshifters made of liquid gold. The Nebuians are both a foreign yet fascinating race on Sigom , easily the most unique and identifiable from other fauna you can find. They are able to transform into any object or shape that they have seen before with relative ease, though limited to metallic textures and golden color. While they can take and form any shape, they often take on humanoid forms and appearances, even wearing specially crafted clothes so much that it wouldn't burn it when worn over their bodies.

Physical Description

No one really knows the "natural state" of a Nebuian, it may perhaps be a generic/blank slate of a bipedal humanoid, or even a goopy pile of liquid gold. Nonetheless they come in several different shapes features, size often being restricted to how much gold they have absorbed into themselves. One noticeable physical feat they have is luminescence: All Nebuians shed a bright light from their bodies assuming they have had ample sunlight, and can act as walking torches. They are also hot to the touch.

Society

Much of what is known about Nebuian society is from The Free People of Nebu as throughout all of known history they have been an enslaved species to various governments and affluent individuals, with a majority being Folken kingdoms. Nebuians have little belief in material wealth or possessions, often living chaste and temperate lifestyles. While not too generous, they are easy to forgive and move on with life if someone caused them hardships. That being said, they have become staunch seekers of independence, who believe all beings deserve to live a stress free, and peaceful life. Most festivities and social gatherings while numerous, are often limited to friends or close family. Given their dependence on the sun of Sigom for nutrition, most Nebuian architecture lacked roofing, though homes and resting areas are the exception.
