Visitors

The Visitors are truly the least human of The Cryptid Clans because they are not human at all, but various strains of alien life, the flotsam and jetsam of other worlds, other suns, even other dimensions, cast up on the shores of Emerald City. Through various means, they find their way here, and then find themselves unable to leave, while others do not even know if they have anywhere to return, even if they could.
Some Visitors are sole examples of their species, while others are part of small groups: the surviving crew of a ship, a family, or even an escaped group of prisoners.
They are allowed the opportunity to start anew among the Cryptid Clans and on Earth, provided they observe and respect the rules and customs. Only occasionally do the Clans face Visitors unable to do so, who must be put down, forcefully.
Among the known Visitors are a Jereid (“Alien-Gator” alligator-like humanoid), a small clan of aquatic Piscean, several Crater Apes (albino, energy-absorbing apes from the far-side of the Moon), a mated pair of Cholaxans (furred humanoids resembling the “Bigfoot” legend), and two young and largely untrained Lor mentat siblings (brother and sister) named Tonn-Ar and Teah-Ar.
