FORMIVIA

Appearance & Physiology

Formivia are insect-like creatures also known as antaurs (ant-taurs). They are much bigger than actual insects, as they are 3'0'' / 0.9m tall on average. They have compound eyes that look similar to simple eyes - the "iris" is the actual eye, and it's often patterned. They have a somewhat flexible exoskeleton covered in fur.

Most formivia have quills, which contain toxins with various effects depending on the individual's diet and often come in bright, warning colors. Some also may have insect wings of any kind. They also vary in antenna shape and size and quill amount and placement.

Magic Ability

Formivia create magical toxins in their bodies, and also tend to be good at brewing potions and such. Winged formivia also use kinetic magic to be able to lift their comparatively large bodies off the ground.

Life / Society

Formivia are very social creatures, originally living in colonies of their own kind, though now they prefer the larger multispecies Myvstrican cities. They cannot function completely on their own.
