Mimling
Home > Rulebook > Races > Mimling
Mimlings are strange creatures that are known for their amazing hunting abilities, known for their nonlethal poison used to knock out their prey before taking and consuming it with their tribe. Developing underwater webspinners that they use to create intricate and elaborate traps to catch other creatures, they are highly advanced and thrive in archipelagos and other islands.
Characteristics
A Mimling has soft, slimy skin, with tentacles on their head and shoulders, they function, and are treated more as hair. They have small claws on their hands that have tiny spinnerets residing underneath them, giving them the ability to shoot webs from, and can be an assortment of very vibrant colours that they can change on command (although it takes a minute for it to fully kick in). Their eyes are not too dissimilar from a cuttlefish, and while they don’t have teeth like omnivorous creatures, they have a face plate which allows them to chew and eat things, and many fangs, which are venomous and can take down even the most heartiest of creatures.
Mimlings are known for their obsessions and hyperfixations on a specific topic, concept objects or items, spending their whole lives collecting information or items connected to that topic, they almost always are known to become experts in their fields due to their innate ability to do
Native Environments
The Mimling typically resides in more coastal and tropical environments, as they thrive best in hunting for fish and other seafood in rivers and other streams, creating giant nets to catch fish and other creatures. While their appearance doesn’t necessarily allow them to be sneaky, they typically resort to using tactics to capture their creatures via traps and interlinking systems that alert the Mimling of any creatures that trip them. They tend to be naturally aggressive and chase creatures into such traps. Charging into animals and chasing them as quickly as they can, slowing them down and capturing them before biting and killing them with their venom.
History
Mimlings do not keep a written history, and typically communicate orally or through olfactory methods when discerning their historical records, they have always been relatively traditional in their beliefs in terms of remaining more in tribal situations, however, some do often choose to live in cities and adapt to the city lifestyle.
Society & Culture
Mimlings are very tribal in their appearance, and their mindset. They are very communal and family oriented, the ones with the most dedication to their collections. Many also even attempt to assert dominance through various play-fighting techniques. They signify their marriage and lifelong bonds, between friends, blood-brothers, and various pacts, by cutting off one of their tentacles, and feeding it to the other. Showing an utmost trust and desire. This ritual is only reserved for those that the Mimling considers very close, and is seldom seen by anyone other then fellow Mimlings.
