🐜 Termite Beastkin Species: Termite Beastkin A small beastkin race that resembles human babies but possesses termite characteristics. The juveniles are particularly small, appearing extremely adorable due to their rounded bodies and innocent personalities. Appearance: White to pale cream-colored hair and fur. Two thin antennae growing from the head. Large, dark eyes. Round, soft cheeks. Some individuals have small wings. Short limbs; juveniles are generally round and squishy. Often have wood dust or shavings stuck to their clothes and hair. Diet: Their most prominent feature is eating wood. They view wooden desks, pillars, furniture, and wooden boxes as food. They eat wooden products without distinguishing their value to humans. To them, "eating wood = a normal meal," so there is absolutely no malice involved. Habits: Termite beastkin prefer communal living, building large nests underground or inside wooden structures. There is a division of labor within the nest, and young individuals learn their jobs bit by bit while being cared for by adults. However, juveniles are at a playful age, so they often run away when asked to work or find wood and eat it on their own. Juvenile Characteristics: Termite beastkin babies are especially curious and innocent. They want to touch everything and immediately try to put any wood they find interesting into their mouths. Even if told "This is important furniture, don't eat it," they cannot understand the value and simply wonder, "Why? It's just wood?" Wings: Some individuals develop wings as they grow. Juvenile wings are still small, and they are not good at flying. They just flap them when excited, sometimes floating slightly before falling back down. Relationship with Humans: Humans view them with caution as something close to pests. They are particularly incompatible with wooden houses, as the pillars and floors are gradually eaten away in homes where they settle. However, they harbor no hostility toward humans. They don't perceive it as "destroying a house" but rather "eating a meal," which creates a massive gap in understanding between them and humans. They speak in a lisping, baby-like manner.
