=====Wood Elves=====

'''Wood Elves''' are a shorter, typically darker-skinned designation of elves. They’re typically more aligned with human physiology than their High Elf counterparts. They much prefer living in and amongst forested areas than constructing grand cities like other elves. Due to this, their histories are often less well documented than other designations of elves.

* '''Average lifespan:''' 55 years

* '''Maturity age:''' 14 years

Merfolk are the most adept race at swimming, and can typically stay underwater without surfacing for days at a time. Adversely, they’re significantly weakened on land, and exhaust their energy significantly quicker than in the water. This stark difference in living environment has led to contact between merfolk and non-merfolk races to be significantly hampered, leading to merfolk being less militaristic and more innately amicable than other races.

* '''Maturity age:''' 15 years

* '''Height range:''' 1.6 – 2.45 meters

=====Lizardfolk=====

'''Lizardfolk''' are generally regarded to be the most “humanoid” of the Reptilian race, maintaining a physique and build similar to a standard human. They typically resemble common terrestrial lizard species, though unlike Beastfolk, do not directly mirror such species.

They’re viewed as the most agreeable and negotiable of the Reptilian race by outsiders, and are typically the easiest to integrate into non-Reptilian societies.

* '''Average lifespan:''' 70 years

* '''Maturity age:''' 20 years

As such, much like Orcs, they’re generally not trusted in positions of authority in non-Reptilian societies, not entirely without a little resentment.

* '''Average lifespan:''' 250 years

* '''Maturity age:''' 60 years

Lamia have historically been seen as tricksters, liars, or generally just untrustworthy compared to other subraces, due to their less human appearance. In some cultures, they’re used as quasi-mythological “boogeymen” to frighten children into obedience.

* '''Average lifespan:''' 70 years

* '''Maturity age:''' 20 years

Beastfolk typically vary in their resemblance to their resemblant species, varying from simply having resembling appendages such as ears and tails, to being tantamount to humanoid, sapient variants of their resemblant creature.

* '''Average lifespan:''' 50–100 years

* '''Maturity age:''' 15–25 years

* '''Height range:''' 1.4 – 1.9 meters

=====High Beastfolk=====

'''High Beastfolk''' are Beastkin whose faces lack fur. In most cases, they very closely resemble standard humans, though with slight variations on parts of their body. Due to the similarity, they’re generally regarded quite similarly to humans, though face some discrimination in more stringent societies.

* '''Average lifespan:''' 70 years

* '''Maturity age:''' 20 years

'''Ferals''' are Beastkin whose faces are covered in fur. Most ferals simply look like a humanoid counterpart to the creature they resemble. Due to this resemblance, they’re often regarded in a similar way to said animal. This leads to common stereotyping where they’re regarded as less sapient than their humanesque counterparts. This has led to resentment amongst certain feral societies, with many coming to consider themselves the “true” beastkin.

* '''Average lifespan:''' 50 years

* '''Maturity age:''' 25 years

'''Lycanthropes''' or Werefolk, are those whose beastfolk status is temporary, and often conditional. They’re typically members of other races that have the capacity to transform into beings that resemble Ferals under specific circumstances. They’re one of many subraces that have, throughout history, been seen as quasi-mythological “boogeymen” to frighten children into obedience.

* '''Maturity age:''' 20 years

In the contemporary era, use of the term “Plantfolk” as a catch-all is frowned upon by taxonomists, being seen as reductionist towards Myceloids

* '''Average lifespan:''' 80–200 years

* '''Maturity age:''' 20–50 years

* '''Height range:''' 1.2 – 2.2 meters

=====Phytoids=====

'''Phytoids''' or Plantfolk, are Florans that take on a genetic makeup resembling that of plants. They’re the most common kind of Floran, and are the most palatable to meat-based societies. The stereotypes surrounding their kind and their preference towards natural habitats has created a sort of “noble savage” stereotype within some meat-based societies, seeing them as innocent beings, free from the corruptive influence of contemporary society.

* '''Average lifespan:''' 120 years

* '''Maturity age:''' 40 years

'''Myceloids''' or Shroomfolk, are Florans that take on a genetic makeup resembling that of fungi, typically mushrooms. While only a little less common than their Phytoid counterparts, they’re seen significantly less in cities, as their methods of reproduction require spores that are often fatal to meat-based races in high enough quantities.

* '''Average lifespan:''' 200 years

* '''Maturity age:''' 100 years

Once a host shell is picked, they’re unable to de-root themselves from the shell, and are bound to it until death.
