Other Races
Races that don't neatly fall under any of the other subcategories go here. Most of them do not have anything in common with each other, and lack common traits with the other races as well.
Dragenmire
|
Phonetics: drag-en-MIRE
Lifespan: 400-500 Height: 4'00"-6'00" Diet: Carnivore Sex: Binary Type: Non-Pony Stereotype: Loud, obsessive, bureaucratic 
|
Dragenmire are obligate carnivores, and have an impressive set of teeth to match. They can even unhinge jaw to consume prey whole, and are absolutely unafraid of using this ability to intimidate annoying other races and their political rivals.
For, while they may be apex predators, Dragenmire culture is obsessed about politics. Most are eager to go into bureaucracy, rising up the ranks through merit and skill rather than violent revolution or assassination (although one can always apply for a murder license...). One isn't considered a Dragenmire unless they can list off all of the local politicians and their political affiliations. Their unfaltering enemies are Lelikki, who they see as overgrown, selfish brats. Dragenmire sneer at the idea of even friendships with the other race. Chocolate is poisonous to them.

Lelikki
|
Phonetics: lell-EE-key
Lifespan: 400-550 Height: 5'00"-8'00" Diet: Omnivore Sex: Binary Type: Non-Pony Stereotype: Annoying, overenthusiastic, clueless 
|
Lelikki are ridiculously fluffy - their tails are poofy and mostly fur, their chests are covered with soft layers, and their hair grows faster than the other races. With big ears, four arms, and oftentimes even bigger smiles, they come off as adorably sweet.
This isn't too far from the truth, at least - Lelikki are absolutely adoring. They're just overbearing about it. Their desire to nanny the other races often accidentally comes across as condescending, when really they just think everyone's so precious, come for hugs! Dragenmires suffer this doting affection the most, leading them to universally despise Lelikki. The sac of chocolate in Lelikki tails doesn't serve to make this any better. They also tend to be materialistic, collecting plenty of junk and leaving it strewn around their house. Sentimental to a fault, they can quickly become possessive of objects that have good memories attached to them. Lelikki have strong paternal drives, and both heavily desire children and make strong, loving parents. |
Ant
|
Phonetics: ant
Lifespan: 500-1000 Height: 6'00"-12'00" Diet: Omnivore Sex: (variant-dependent) Type: Non-Pony Stereotype: Violent, angry, cruel, bloodthristy 
|
Ants are woefully misunderstood by the other races, but as long as they're left alone to their personal culture, they're fine with it. Sporting four arms, a pudgy tail, and two antennae on the top of their head, any Ant is instantly recognizable. Most have sharper teeth, and differently-colored blood depending on caste.
They form massive colonies, comprised of a hierarchy structured around the four castes: Dinergates, Ergates, Aner, and Gyne. These colonies adore their internal members to a fault, but violently reject other colonies, and often war over Gyne and their protection. They'd rather kill first, and ask questions later, most of the time. The highest caste is Gyne, who are spoiled absolutely rotten and coveted for their rareness. Aner serve as the leaders of the army, while Ergates tend to the colony's inner workings, acting as cooks/maids/etc. Dinergates are the lowest caste and made up of cannon fodder soldiers.

Rhino
|
Phonetics: rine-OH
Lifespan: 300-400 Height: 4'00"-5'00" Diet: Omnivore Sex: Binary Type: Non-Pony Stereotype: Downtrodden, meek, submissive, quiet 
|
Rhinos sport a single, glowing horn on their head and a thicker tail with a mouth on its end, usually grinning. These come into play when a Rhino's natural ability is being used: the unique talent to process Magninium out of objects.
Rhino can be fed enchanted/cursed objects. After some time, the item appears in the tailmouth's teeth, freshly unenchanted, and the Rhino will vomit up raw Magninium as part of the process. This has been used as an excuse to often enslave Rhino, or leave them as second-class citizens - their usefulness when it comes to checking items has left many interested in exploiting it. Because of this, most Rhino are meek and quiet, and do not have a very unified culture, as they often are not in contact with other members of their race. In Universes with advanced freedoms, some Rhino may be outspoken about the enslavement, and protest for their rights. Here is a comic detailing the process. |
Eurys
|
Phonetics: yur-EES
Lifespan: 400-500 Height: 6'00"-9'00" Diet: Omnivore Sex: Binary Type: Non-Pony Stereotype: Impulsive, nonchalant, erratic, fun 
|
Marked with curling horns on their head and a long, furred tail, Eurys look rather average. Their fur is shorter than most other races', and it's easy to brush it back and see the skin underneath.
However, Eurys are naturally flame- and heat-resistant, to the point of being completely unaffected by warm temperatures or being burnt. They can quite literally take a dip in a pool of molten lava and relax as if it were a hot tub, making them useful when it comes to firefighting and volcanic research. They often take their work in stride, often coming across as especially laidback. It takes a lot to anger them, typically, but they can be shaken into more excitable emotions if their interests are appealed to. An energetic Eurys is almost impossible to stop once their ball's gotten rolling. It's common for Eurys to show off their abilities by lighting matches and attempting to set fire to their fur. |
Alpaca
|
Phonetics: al-PACK-ah
Lifespan: 170-200 Height: 4'00"-5'00" Diet: Herbivore Sex: Anbinary Type: Non-Pony (Flying) Stereotype: Meek, gentle, shy, quiet 
|
Alpacas are reclusive fashionistas, and are well-known for their gorgeous, high-quality clothing, which is often hand-designed or hand-made. They place great importance on the arts and nature, often making annual pilgrimages to the highest nearby peak to receive inspiration from the natural beauty around them.
When not busy creating paintings or textiles, Alpacas usually participate in various group bonding. Culture dictates that it's important to have a wide range of friendships and relationships among one's flock, which is often overseen by the resident Llamas. Alpaca have rich social lives, with plenty of friends and a few closer partners. Children are expected to start showing an interest in some form of creation at a young age, and those who have no interest in art are often shunned or corrected. Any form of art is beautiful to Alpaca, although they do have an affinity for clothing, and it is what they are best known for from the other races. |
Llama
|
Phonetics: la-MA
Lifespan: 170-200 Height: 5'00"-7'00" Diet: Herbivore Sex: Binary Type: Non-Pony Stereotype: Vain, impulsive, ditzy, airheaded 
|
Llamas are the sturdier, stronger cousins of Alpacas. They're known for their pride and vanity, taking great lengths to appear conventionally beautiful and often wearing the fashions that Alpaca spend so many hours slaving over.
A Llama doesn't feel like their life is complete until they've found at least one Alpaca to adore and spoil, and will travel the ends of their Universe to find a flock and stand proud with them. They don't care what the other races think about them, as long as their Alpaca loves them. They're quick to defend Alpaca and will violently lash out if they're provoked, but as long as the Alpaca that they know are safe, Llamas are hard to upset and even harder to get on their bad side. They take life in stride, enjoying it in the moment. They can spit Magninium, which also serves as a defense against ingested poisons. Their hair shimmers like auroras in multiple colors, and is the primary difference between them and Alpaca (besides the wings, of course). |
Pronghorn
|
Phonetics: PRONG-horn
Lifespan: 400-500 Height: 5'00"-6'00" Diet: Omnivore Sex: Anbinary Type: Non-Pony Stereotype: Intense, passionate, speedy, evasive 
|
Pronghorns are named for the two pronged, ivory horns on their head, which most see as their pride and joy. They also have a line of small spikes running down from their back all the way to the tip of their tail, covered in fur. These spikes can be somewhat painful, if one is met with the business end of them.
They're well-known for their speed, as Prongs are the fastest runners among all sentient races (among swimmers, Mermaids rank fastest). This often leads to Pronghorns going into athletics, especially track, racing, cross-country, etc. Of course, non-athletic Pronghorns are often frustrated at the assumption that they're all good at sports. Whatever they feel, Pronghorns always feel it strongly. They can quickly become overwhelmed by negative emotions and shut down, refusing to address whatever issue they're facing. If push comes to shove, they'll likely take some time away from everyone else to go for a brief jog to clear their minds. |
Sheep
|
Phonetics: sheep
Lifespan: 170-200 Height: 5'00"-5'10" Diet: Omnivore Sex: Binary Type: Non-Pony Stereotype: Amiable, one-track-minded, unethical 
|
Sheep are incredibly dependent on their flock, which is the large group of fellow Sheep that reside in their community. Isolation is literal torture for them.
When comfortable and among like minds, however, Sheep are innovative and technologically advanced. They put importance on "teaching" the other races the importance of their culture and technology, and in less segregated Universes, often have to politely correct themselves when among other-race peers. They are staunchly against the use of magic to solve problems, finding it a lazy cop-out - unfortunate, considering how intertwined magic is with technology. When not toiling away on whatever inventions they've cooked up, Sheep are keeping their hands and minds as busy as possible. They require constant stimulation in any form, which can be extremely overwhelming to visiting members of other races. Horns are non-gendered, and are hereditary. Sheep were made by Manyteeth! |
Giraffe
|
Phonetics: gir-AFFE
Lifespan: 170-200 Height: 7'00"-10'00" Diet: Omnivore Sex: Binary Type: Non-Pony Stereotype: Workaholic, sporty, energetic, athletic 
|
If Pronghorns are considered runners, then Giraffes are the bastions of all other sports. Athletic and competitive, they're always eager to throw down whenever possible, and invent competitions to come up with conflict resolution. You're fine with doing javelin throwing to figure out where to eat for lunch, right?
There are five "tribes" of Giraffe, depending on the pattern of their spots. Giraffe don't normally discriminate between tribes, but do almost universally look down on the Caetera individuals, finding hybrids of tribes to be ugly and garish. Intima Giraffes are unique in that they have the capability to use arcane magic, like unicorns, alicorns, and Kirin. Spots cover a Giraffe's sides of head, cheeks, torso, arms, legs, and tail. They do not touch or discolor any hair, but Giraffe do have two tall, white, ivory horns coming from the top of their head. Intima Giraffe's horns may be stained if they are an avid magic user. You can see the variants here. |
Zebra
|
Phonetics: ZEE-brah
Lifespan: 170-200 Height: 5'00"-6'00" Diet: Omnivore Sex: Anbinary Type: Non-Pony Stereotype: Alcoholic, flirty, lazy, uninspired 
|
Zebra are infamous for their sign language, which is characterized by elaborate posings of their back-fins and glowing different stripes on their bodies. At night, their stripes glow brightly, the intensity of which can be changed by the Zebra. This is used for fast, easy communication over long distances and without the need for verbal speech.
Despite this useful skill, most Zebra tend to be slackers. They don't particularly enjoy work or get much purpose out of their jobs, leading many to simply clock in and clock out as fast as possible. Most other races heavily dislike and judge all Zebras by this standard, to the point of avoiding hiring them at times, even if they have the skills the job is looking for. They tend to find it hilarious when other races mistake them for Giraffes or Okapi, and will go along with it until the other wisens up. The structures on their back are more akin to large, moveable fins, rather than wings capable of flight. |
