Living in underground or dark places for centuries you have grown accustomed to darkness. You can see in dim light within 120 feet of you as if it were bright light, and in darkness as if it were dim light. This effect does not get weaker as you go deeper.

Due to your metal interior, you can gain special effects. You can gain special effects from the ore you consume, either 10 chunks of ore or alloys of metal, when you consume the rock you either gain immediate benefits or long term benefits, the effects gained last until the end of your next long rest and only 1 long term benefit can be active at a time, with immediate benefits only being able to be used again every hour (ALL TO DM'S DISCRETION). When your hit point maximum changes you roll as if you have advantage.

You can spend 1 minute uninterrupted to turn yourself into a pile of rocks. While in this state you gain advantage on stealth checks and have 0ft of movement speed. This feature is the only way the aloeva can do a short or long rest. You can spend 1 action to leave this state.

You gain the ability to sense for nearby ores, rare rocks, gems. You can concentrate for 1 minute to find the nearest point of ores, rare rocks or gems up to character level x 15ft away. If you have an ore, rare rock or gem in mind you can also specifically search for that. You can use this feature a maximum number of times up to your proficiency bonus. Additionally, when your character reaches level 7 you gain tremmorsense up to character level x 30ft away. You can spend 1 bonus action to activate this sense for 1 minute. You can activate this sense up to your proficiency bonus. You gain all uses of both of these features when you finish a long rest.

You lack any Biological limbs and functions that require nutrients to survive.
You don't need to eat, drink or breathe.
You don't need to sleep but still need to do long rests.
You can last 2x longer before having another short or long rest.

The Aloevan race were created at the dawn of beginning and new aloeva cannot be created only destroyed, due to your ancient nature you do not benefit from spells that bring you back to life when you have fully died (failed all death saves) like that of 'Resurrection' and True resurrection' or any spell, ability or item that can bring you back to life. There is one exception in the form of the 'Wish' spell as wishing to bring you back from the dead is the only way to 'live' again.
