Aemet

Basic Information

Anatomy

Aemets are very similar to ants, but are more intelligent and larger. On average, an Aemet is around the size of a large dog. They are capable of speech, but usually communicate with each other telepathically.

Genetics and Reproduction

Aemets reproduce sexually, and are oviparous. Incubation takes seven months.

Ecology and Habitats

The Aemet traditionally live underground, but many have followed the Ibujěbu aboveground.

Dietary Needs and Habits

Aemets are omnivorous, and are quite adaptable.

Additional Information

Perception and Sensory Capabilities

Aemets have average basic senses, but can also sense nearby living creatures by using their Psionics to sense mental activity in the area. The precision of this depends on the individual's skill level with Psionics.

Symbiotic and Parasitic organisms

Aemets typically live alongside Goblins, specifically Ibujěbu.
Aemets are not desirable hosts for Vampires because of their Psionic abilities. It is impossible for a Vampire to stay hidden from an aemet, and if a vampire makes it inside an aemet, it can easily be removed through Psionic mind control, since it is much easier for a user of Psionics to affect a mind that is connected to their own.

Culture and Cultural Heritage

Aemets originally were separate from, but cooperative with, the Ibujěbu. At some point, a series of disasters struck their homeland, and many of them died. The survivors were forced to flee to the Ibujěbu and ask them for help. The Ibujěbu agreed to help the aemets, and they were assimilated into Ibujěbu society and culture. Because of this, most of the aemets' original culture was lost. Some conspiracy theorists claim that the Ibujěbu intentionally orchestrated the disasters that drove the aemets from their homeland, but these claims have not been substantiated.
Today, aemet culture is synonymous with Ibujěbu culture and Aemet are typically considered to be Ibujěbu in regard to demographics.

History

The origin of aemets is unknown, but many speculate that their origin is unnatural.
