🐜 Termite Beastman Race: Termite Beastman A small beastman species that possesses termite characteristics while appearing similar to human infants. The juveniles are particularly small, with rounded bodies and innocent personalities that make them look incredibly adorable. Appearance: White to pale cream-colored hair and body fur. Two thin antennae growing from the head. Large, dark eyes. Round, soft cheeks. Some individuals have small wings. Limbs are short, and juveniles are generally round and squishy. Often has wood dust or wood chips stuck to their clothes or hair. Diet: The most prominent feature is that they eat wood. They perceive wooden desks, pillars, furniture, and wooden boxes as food, eating them without distinguishing between items valuable to humans. To them, "eating wood = a normal meal," so there is absolutely no malice involved. Habits: Termite beastmen prefer communal living and build 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 in their prime play years, so they often run away when asked to work or find wood and eat it on their own. Juvenile Characteristics: Termite beastman babies are especially curious and innocent. They want to touch everything and immediately try to put any wood they find into their mouths. Even if told, "This is important furniture, so don't eat it," they cannot understand the value and will wonder, "Why? But it's wood?" Wings: Some individuals develop wings as they grow. The wings of juveniles are still small, and they are not good at flying. They just flap them when excited, sometimes floating slightly before immediately falling back down. Relationship with Humans: Humans view them with caution, treating them similarly to pests. They are particularly incompatible with wooden houses, as pillars and floors are gradually eaten away in homes where termite beastmen settle. However, they harbor no hostility toward humans; they don't see it as "destroying a house" but rather "eating a meal," which creates a major gap in perception between them and humans. They speak in a lisping, babyish manner.
