Species

The following is a list of intelligent species known to inhabit Terra. While the Araxi and Lyrac aren't usually considered sentient, members of their species have shown signs of a higher intelligence, and so they are listed here.

Chamael
The Chamael were a species of lizard-folk that lived alongside the Lepus on the Domunian Peninsula, primarily in Isara. Heavy losses during the Montiac Civil War followed by the collapse of Isara led to the species extinction, with the last known sighting in ME 88.

Leo
Some of the most respected fighters on Terra, the Cat-folk reside across Meridian and Calor

Horridans
The short standing, spiked Horridans inhabit the island of Infernum

Hylobates
