Neith

Cloud Form: Semi-transparent, wispy bodies with elongated limbs and wing-like appendages made of vaporous material. Dust Form: Compact, muscular build with tough, sand-colored scales and clawed limbs for digging. Storm Form: Sleek, aerodynamic body with conductive skin patterns that glow during electrical activity.

Ability to shift minor physical traits depending on environmental stimuli (e.g., color intensity, cloud shape). Regenerative healing, especially in Cloud and Dust forms.

Reproduce sexually with seasonal mating rituals aligned to environmental cycles.

Offspring initially resemble the cloud form and develop into their specific morph based on habitat exposure during early growth stages.

Rapid growth in first year, reaching near-adult size by year two. Morph differentiation occurs during juvenile stage (6-12 months). Full maturity reached by 3 years.

Integral to atmospheric and terrestrial ecosystems, influencing weather patterns and soil quality.

Cloud Form helps disperse moisture and seeds; Dust Form aerates soil; Storm Form regulates electrical balance in the environment.

Cloud Form: Feeds on airborne minerals, ethereal energy, and microscopic organisms. Dust Form: Omnivorous scavenger, consuming roots, insects, and small animals. Storm Form: Carnivorous, hunting smaller beasts and absorbing electrical energy.

Active year-round with peak activity during seasonal transitions (spring and autumn).

Migrate or shift forms slightly in response to climate changes. . .

No hibernation, but Dust Form enters a dormant burrow state during extreme heat or cold. Cloud Form dissipates into mist during harsh weather, reconstituting later. Storm Form becomes less active during calm seasons.

Highly intelligent with complex social behaviors varying by form. Cloud Form is curious and elusive; Dust Form is territorial and cautious; Storm Form is aggressive and dominant. All forms exhibit strong familial bonds and cooperative hunting or foraging.

They live in small groups known as flocks. Cloud Form forms migratory flocks; Dust Form lives in territorial flocks; Storm Form forms hierarchical flocks.

Cloud Form: Soft, featureless faces with glowing eyes. Dust Form: Angular faces with protective bony ridges and keen nostrils. Storm Form: Sharp, fierce eyes with lightning-like markings on the face.

They in the sky over the lands.

Acute vision adapted to their environment: Cloud Form sees ultraviolet light and can detect air pressure changes. Dust Form has enhanced smell and vibration sensing for underground movement. Storm Form can sense electromagnetic fields and predict weather changes. They have telepathic communication within their species allowing them to others.

Approaching a Nerith requires respect and calm behavior, especially for Storm Form. Offering gifts or symbolic items (like feathers or stones) is common in cultures that revere them.

Hunting or harming the Cloud Form is considered sacrilegious in many cultures. Dust Form territories are often marked as sacred or off-limits during breeding seasons. Storm Form is rarely approached except by Nimari and leaders.

Long intertwined history with Divines often appearing in folklore and religious texts. Their forms have been documented for centuries, with some ancient texts describing their elemental origins. The histories on them for last millennia have been locked up.

Cloud Form believed to be spirits of the sky or messengers of Divines. Dust Form seen as guardians and keepers of ancient secrets. Storm Form regarded as incarnations of storms or wrathful deities.

Generally peaceful with other species, except Storm Form which can be territorial. Dust Form sensing a dry season by aerating farm fields soil.
