He’s a zora guard that spends his free time fishing and eating. He’s willing to trade valuables with anyone, as long as you have plenty of fish!

+ SCYTHE
[ Girls Night ]
This character is often considered to be erratic or animal like since her behavior consists much about instincts. This involves a habit to stare, bite at the hand that feeds it, and stalk its prey. Of course, this doesn’t mean she’s considered less intelligent. Its clever in its ability to lure and linger without being seen; It can’t be tamed too easily, she’s better than that. Unless, if you have her favorite treat!

Damage piece for mine @royalnumeral :)

✦ DENIZENS AND SOCIALISATION (illustrated by @svnkssr!)
Denizens first and foremost are animal people. Even if they appear as humanoids, wing-headed beasts, or nudibranch, their methods of communication can vary wildly from that of our own.
[ ko-fi / bsky ]
To break it down, denizen communication relies on speech, body language, and sensing. Different umbrellas prioritise these different methods in order to communicate, but that is only the tendency and not the 'law'.
For Humaine, socialisation is roughly like our own, speech and verbal cues dominating for them. After speech comes body language (specifically concerning the face), and then comes senses; a humanoid's sense of smell / telepathy is typically poor, and thus cannot always find information about another through any other sense than sight.

Kreyati tend to rely primarily on the body language of others. While they do utilise speech, a kreyati will immediately scan one's body language for certain cues to gleam crucial details. Unlike humanoids, they do not focus by default on the facial features of the creature. Body language is deeply important to them, to the point where different species have their own body languages (ex; curl devils exposing their throats via clothing or gestures to show trust, bristlebacks biting/licking/accepting objects with their mouths to show affection).

Mythocuertas do not actually have a set 'hierarchy' of methods for communication, as they are more abstract creatures in nature and it is more socially acceptable for different species and individuals to form their own or adapt those of others. Curiously, certain mythos species (EATRs especially) use senses like smell to understand someone faster than words could. an EATR's sense of smell is so powerful, they can smell if someone has cancer, if they are pregnant, who is related to them, what they had eaten hours prior, stress, and fear. While they cannot smell intentions, being able to smell out certain traits a skill that is not used lightly.

For these very reasons, it is integral for denizens to be socialised from a young age. While denizens are generally more open minded about discussions concerning their species and phenotype, this cannot be easily relied on. Missed or confusing bodily cues can send or recieve confusing signals and build relationships based on false pretenses or accidentally provoke someone without intending to.
