Demonic
Horned denizens of the world.
Basic Information
Anatomy
Demonics are humanoid beings with horns and (occasionally) tails or wings.
Horns are extremely common among demonics, but not all have protruding horns. Horns have a bony subdermal base from which protruding horns grow. Demonics are born with these bases, and horns may grow as the demonic gets older. Many Demonics begin to develop their horns at around age 13 and fully finish developing by about age 20. Horns can be different shapes and sizes, and seem to be primarily determined by the horns of their parents, though some theorize that environment may play a factor into it.
Tails are much more uncommon, and tend to be armored with a chiton of similar material to demonic horns. Wings are typically leathery and too small to be used for flight.
Demonics can have any wide range of skin color, most tend to be grey or desaturated, but laetus demonics are known for their vibrant color palettes.
Demonic eye colors have somewhat more variation than other races, as instead of being limited to white sclera demonic eyes can have a range of sclera and iris colors. Some demonic eyes are one flat color with no discernable iris or pupil.
Ecology and Habitats
Demonics can be found in many habitats all over the world. It's believed that they originate from an area wild widely variable and unpredictable weather patterns, such as a place with a hot and wet climate, but none have been able to determine exactly where demonics are from.
Dietary Needs and Habits
Demonics are omnivores, but the majority of their diet tends to come from meat rather than plants. Their diet can consist of plants, but meat tends to be more beneficial.
Additional Information
Geographic Origin and Distribution
Demonics are pretty evenly spread throughout the world, which is why it's become so difficult to determine their origin. There doesn't tend to be a larger population of demonics in certain areas or climates.
Perception and Sensory Capabilities
In addition to the five basic senses, demonic horns are far more sensitive to temperature than the rest of their bodies. They can sense changes in temperature as small as fractions of a degree, and some may be able to accurately predict how the temperature will continue to change within the next few hours.
Demonics have different visual capabilities based on their demonic heritage. Depending on that heritage a demonic may have motion based vision, or only see shades of light.
Civilization and Culture
Beauty Ideals
Black, pointed horns are desirable, especially when they come in more than one pair of two. Fangs are especially popular. Sharp eyes with black sclera and colored irises are quite popular too. Long tails, about 1.5 feet, with black chiton is also very popular.
