Homebrew Bagwerm Species Details

Bagwerms are moth like creatures with jet black hair that covers their body, feather like antennas, and large intricately designed wings to protect against preditors. While flying they appear like giant moths, but once they land and begin to transverse the ground do you see their humanoid appearance. Standing upright, Bagwerms might reach 4 ft tall, and they have insect like legs and arms that fold at their side, except for two higher up the thorax that act as their preferred hands. 

Male and female Bagwerms are hard to distinguish from a distance, yet the female's distinct lack of antennas make it easier to notice a mating pair flying by.  Some Bagwerms have been known to have florecent like antennas and bodies, but those are rare in the muted colored race.Their faces consist of large reflecting black eyes that encompass most of their face, and small pincher like mouths that allow them to speak in a clicking like language. Despite their ability to fly and incredibly eye sight, Bagwerms are herbivores, forcing them to migrate where the plants are most luscious to survive.

Bagwerm Names

Bagwerms are mostly named after elements of nature or their traits that their parents or the clan deem most appropriate. Most Bagwerms have only one name, seeing as how most stay with their clan and tend to have a rather short life span, however, some few who have lived beyond their years or have tales of legend are given titles of their bravery and wisdom. Due to their native language being exclusive to Bagwerms, most will translate their name meaning into common, while others will stick with their native name and simply attempt to teach others the pronunciation. Most Bagwerms will stick to two or three names: their personal name, the name of their mother and father, and title (if given).
