Kelaphim (Klaph-im)
Why Siem chose to use me as the model for her art project is beyond me.
The Kelaphim, are almost comparably being the largest least diverse demographic alongside dragons. While at the very least, dragons have their specifications for types, kelaphim just come in many flavors depending on which ascendant they originate from.
Basic Information
Anatomy
Kelaphite | (Siemite/Wood Bark)
Not including Ascendant Ahresi, the kelaphite is the ancestor species to all of the other species of kelaphim. Modeled after the Ferrywoman herself. The kelaphim structure can be pointed out by the literal concept of a point. Those of Kelaphim origin will always have pointed ears that can be identified at a glance.Fun little tidbit: Their ears are highly sensitive due to the fact that there are many nerves that run through them. This is what makes Kelaphim ears wiggle and have such animated expressions! Another little fun tidbit: The original Kelaphites were formed from the wood of Siem's Tree.
Uh- the ears? They just do that- it's normal! No- Its not cute!
Dromite | (Osephian Kelaphim/Sandstone)
Kelaphim of a tanned to dark skin color, they are considered as a relative to the modern kelaphite. The dromite build is suited for arid environments, and on average, dromites are taller than kelaphites. The original Dromites were formed from the rock and sand of the Osephi Desert.Bhatyam | (Jembanite/Ocean Daughter)
The result of Ascendant Jembani taking a handful of kelaphites in concept, and putting them through a process of rapid evolution.Through this process, Ascendant Jembani is single-handedly responsible for the existence of the bhatyam.
Eferite | (Dainite/Volcano Ash)
Because he could, Ascendant Dain straight up hijacked Siem's designs and made a bootleg version of the kelaphites.Shemite | (Icarian/Tavaas)
Shem yoinked the Kelaphim design and made a midbaarian version of the Tavaasim but with kelaphim features.Adamaite | (Icarian/Orev)
Adam yonked the Kelaphim design and similarly made a midbaarian version of the Orevim, but with kelaphim features.Dietary Needs and Habits

"Average kelaphim commits 12 crimes a year" factoid actually just statistical error. Average kelaphim actually commits 0 crimes per year. Crimes Betrix, who lives in a cave & commits over 10000 crimes each day, is an outlier adn should not have been counted
