Desert Gremlins are a Species owned by Cheshiretails but created by Tomoburd.

Desert Gremlins are semi-reptiles with thick skin that can shed from time to time but the added benefit of being warm blooded. Every Gremlin naturally comes with three eyes on their heads. Two set in a forward position on either side of the skull and one that is centered on their forehead. They typically have thick fatty tails and round soft tummies. While Gremlins can come in many shapes and sizes a thick tail and round belly is considered a sign of good health amongst the species.

The pair of eyes they have located just above their cheek bones function much like a humans eyes, able to see a wide range of color, good depth perception, and have pupils that dilate with as needed. The third eye is rather special and allows the Gremlins to see the actual flow of magic around them. They use this special sight to allow them to better harness magic and refine items infused with magic. If you ever want to check and see if that new talisman you bought is real or a hoax, bring it to a Gremlin and they can tell you with just a glace.

Their hands end in three small pointed fingers and a thumb on each hand and each foot has three thick toes that can either be similar to the fingers or covered in a thick outer layer of keratin.

Gremlins are omnivores and as such they have a diet that is similar to humans with meat, fruits, grains, vegetables, and insects on the menu. Their teeth consist of small sharp teeth towards the front of the mouth and molars in the back.

Life Cycle

Desert Gremlins start off life as an egg that is roughly the size of an Ostrich egg. This egg is incubated for about two to three months before a soft chunky Gremlin hatches and spends most of its time sleeping, eating, and growing. They become more independent at about a year old, able to speak and are usually and exploring what crafts or skills they enjoy learning. Once a Gremlin is in their teen years they start exploring the towns and cities around them. They can try out different works and trades that are not specific to their own hometown and thus continue their journey of personal growth, honing their skills, and perfecting their crafts. Once a Gremlin is an adult they usually have picked a form of occupation (often times a craft or tradework) and will usually set up a shop of their own, work with their family if the trade is similar, or join a guild of workers that share the same trade. When interplanetary travel became available many younger Gremlins decided to set up shop on other planets to try and avoid the tough competition that they faced on their home world.

Once a Gremlin has entered the end portion of their life they like to take the funds they have saved over the years and like to sit back and relax. They will often take younger Gremlins under their wings to help train and make sure traditional methods of doing things are not lost to time. They find this to be a very important part of their culture and it is seen as a high privilege to be able to teach others and help them grow.

Homeworld and Culture

Desert Gremlins are native to the harsh planet Tollum. Under the light of Tollum's blue sun and three moons Gremlins have flourished for centuries.
