Seidilin
A magically created species that dwells on Seidiloph Island.
Basic Information
Anatomy
Infant
When infants emerge from their eggs they have 2 legs, 4 arms, and a long tail. Their bodies appear composed of segments like a worm, and their thin torso adds to the wormlike impression. The infants have 2 eyes on either side of their narrow heads granting them a remarkably view of the world around them. Their jaws resemble those of a canine, though they appear to have no nose.Pre-Adult
After emerging from their cocoon pre adults more closely resemble an oversized worm. Gone are the arms and legs, with 6 tentacles clustered around the head in their place. Any distinction between the torso, tail, and head is gone, and the jaws are replaced with a beak.Adult
Full adults are much like the pre-adults in appearance, but with only three tentacles around their heads.Genetics and Reproduction
When an adult seidilin emerges from it's cocoon it has the potential to develop male and female organs. Depending on environmental factors, including any imbalance in the male/female population the seidilin may become two of the same gender or one of each gender. Seidliin reproduce using large batches of eggs, with each pair only capable of producing one batch of eggs in their lifetime. The eggs take about 2 years to hatch during which time they are protected by the parents.
Growth Rate & Stages
These creatures hatch from eggs in a bipedal form. Without intervention they remain in this form for around 10 years, though this can depend on the availability of food. If allowed to develop naturally they then create a cocoon for themselves and remain within it for a year. When they emerge they are in their pre-adult form, which is akin to a giant worm, with a beak and a profusion of tentacles around the head. Approximately 6 months after entering their pre-adult form these creatures are ready to divide into their gendered forms. Moving into this stage the seidilin splits into two creatures which can then produce offspring with others of their kind.
Created servants
The Seidilin were created by the almighty Zaciseid to act as intelligent servants on his island. In order to maintain their intelligence for longer Zaciseid also created the Beacons of Comprehension.
