When we get the prominent races finished, I'll edit them into the first post in this thread.

Edit: The following have been adapted from Eizon: Rebirth:

Eparah - An Eparah is an ethereal being that serves a god or goddess. Depending on the alignment of the deity, the Eparah may have holy, mischievous, or even evil intentions. Usually sent as messengers that take a person to the world of the afterlife, they quickly flit into existence and grasp the person, taking them back to their master. An Eparah has no physical description since it can change its shape and hardly any have ever been seen by living people. If their master wills it, they can be issued orders to defend those that worship their deity or attack those that seek to cause harm those that worship them.

Festrina - An enormous plant that consists of a main body with 10-20 vines. The main body is shaped like a gigantic rose blossom. Normally, an adult Festrina's vines are between 1-2 feet thick and range from 50-200 feet in length. Festrinae are omnivorous and use their vines to snare their prey then bring it to the main body for consumption. Only dwelling in deep forests, they are rarely seen until they have you in their grip. At night, if the main body is subjected to moonlight, they secrete a liquid from their vines called Moonglaze.

Geoite - Geoites are giant mountain-dwelling humanoids that hibernate through the summer months. They range in color depending on the surrounding climate from off-white to dark brown. A Geoite's skin is rough and very close to rock-like in texture making them extremely hard to spot in mountainous terrain and very durable creatures. Only Lyrae (rock-eating worms) and well-trained Hunters can distinguish a Geoite from a rock at any distance. They are very territorial and attack/eat people of all races that enter their "homes", which are usually small caves or outcroppings in mountains. A Geoite's biological make-up is almost identical to a Hume's with the one main difference being their bodies only contain 1 pint of blood. Geoite's blood can be diluted through alchemy to make a solution that cures petrification.

Lyra - Giant, stubby worms. Their size is easily comparable to the mass of an average chocobo; almost bloblike. Generally subterranean, they eat all types of rock formations (Meteos and Hard Stones being delicacies of sorts) as well as the occasional plantlife. Massive tunnels and labyrinths underground are sometimes made by these creatures, but more commonly they will consume the earth in a way that fashions pits or holes. Lyrae ooze their waste out of their hides, which changes in properties depending on their rock diet.

Rho - By using evil black magic, powerful mages can call upon magical energy and fuse it to an inanimate object. Upon the entrance of an object, this energy becomes a Rho, a warped and malicious spirit that desires only to be freed from its prison. When in the vicinity of an object possessed by a Rho, most people will feel an extreme urge to examine it. If the possessed object comes in contact with a living person, the Rho transfers itself into that being and assumes total control over its actions. In order to be freed, the Rho's host must die, so it will do anything in its host's power to cause it to destroy themself. When dead, the Rho returns to its original magical energy state. A Rho is only created with the intention of death or chaos and can only be destroyed with the death of its creator.

Skisk - A common rodent of all areas of Annifontia, Skisks are easily described as a cross between a skunk and a meerkat. Their fur is completely black and their skin is usually a pale yellow-white. Skisks have a defense mechanism similar to a skunk's in that they spray liquid at their aggressor. The scent of the liquid is not necessarily disgusting but causes temporary blindness so the Skisk can escape. Skisks eat small to medium insects and are actively preyed upon by Azergile. They are commonly poached animals whose pelts are tanned and used in the making of leather accessories.

I felt I should only adapt my own earlier creations since some of you may want to do the same with yours.
