 Degils are often seen as very compassionate creatures that have been known to protect others that can’t protect themselves. Degils magic has a big influence on plants and it can help protect them in the long run. Their homes often have large thorny bushes around them as a result of this influence on nature. In a life or death situation, a Degil can draw the life from plants and nature around them to give themselves more magic in an attempt to overcome or escape from a current threat. This is not something they can do easily and is very taxing on them once the extra magic has worn off. They must often rest for days at a time after one of these spells. Degils are often seen as very compassionate creatures that have been known to protect others that can’t protect themselves.

-Their strong connection with nature allows them empathize a lot more and due to this it means they often don't eat meat. In an effort to stay close to plants they are particularly fond of, they will store the plants seeds in their thick neck fluff.+Their strong connection with nature allows them empathize a lot more and due to this it means they often don't eat meat.

 Across all Degil Variants there are several consistent factors in their looks: horns, thick neck fur, bird-like back feet, and hooved (though sometimes paws) front feet. Their neck furs can form a fur hood that can cover their ears and horn when it is cold. Across all Degil Variants there are several consistent factors in their looks: horns, thick neck fur, bird-like back feet, and hooved (though sometimes paws) front feet.

 Though there are several variants of Degil, they all have a lot in common magically. All Degils have magical 'vents/pouches' on their sides. These vents glow faintly when not using magic, and brightly when they are. All variants of Degil can also shapeshift into several different forms. Every Degil has the ability to take on a [[Humanity|Human]] form at will once magically strong enough. This can be an bipedalform, satyr form, fully [[Humanity|Human]], or centaur form. It is said they can do this because when [[Solaris]] was still whole they had strong visions of such creatures in their dreams and when they split into three separate beings this influence was still prevalent. Though there are several variants of Degil, they all have a lot in common magically.

They form strong bonds with one another and often live in villages that work with the nature around them rather destroying it to make room for their homes. The Common Degil is the most plentiful type of Degil found on [[Redoa]] and within the species.

 Since a Degil's magic can keep it alive for exceptionally long time they are known to have only passed from injuries, or illness. When this time comes the sacs on their side lose their glow and the Degil will try and find a place of comfort where they can try and return to nature. Places where Degil have passed away always seem to flourish with their favorite plants.  Since a Degil's magic can keep it alive for exceptionally long time they are known to have only passed from injuries, or illness.
