Homebrew Geostal Species Details

Geostals are a creature of crystalline nature and live underground in cities of towering crystals. They are generally very docile towards other creatures, unless they are attacked.

Geostals are small creatures and have a crystal or mineral look to them. Geostals can be Emerald, Granite, Opal, etc. all depending on the environment they were born from. Geostals have no faces although they can see and hear like anyone else. Depending on the material they were born from they may be able to smell (If the mineral is porous).  Geostals have limbs and a body like a small human, although their hands and feet are blunt until they reach natural maturity at around age five in which they gain movement of their fingers and toes. 

Within their heads they have a glowing presence which is thought to be their life essence. Many Geostals believe they originated from a massive crystal hanging above their capital city. This crystal is what provides light and gives off an aura of peace and relaxation. Geostals are constantly looking for rare minerals and ores to collect, they are very protective over any kind of crystal or mineral. Things that come from within the earth are sacred within Geostal culture.

Geostals communicate with hand signals/gestures and in certain cases sounds made by clangs and bangs upon themselves or nearby objects. Geostals generally do not have names unless they can hear. If they have names, they are the frequency that lines up with their density. In order to acquire nutrients for their bodies Geostals bury themselves in the ground for eight hours to absorb minerals from the soil.
