Insularis

Little Islanders (Homo insularis) are a small-statured yet remarkably resilient species of hominid descended from island-adapted ancestors. Originally thought to include separate species such as Homo floresiensis and Homo luzonensis, the Little Islanders of Urtbi are now understood to represent a single species with distinct ethnic subdivisions tied to their geographic origins. The Floresians, originating from Sunda, and the Luzonians, hailing from Luzon, are united by their shared mastery of island survival, nimble physicality, and unparalleled maritime knowledge. Little Islanders in Urtbi are celebrated as navigators and survivalists, often mythologized as dwellers of the boundary between land and sea.
