Homebrew Alimeer Species Details
The Alimeer are a group of Humanoids that have a strong tendency for natural adaptation. They are able to- over the course of at least 50 years- become fully adapted to a new environment. This allows for the distinction of different Alimeer from various terrains, and this causes most people to think of Mountain Alimeer as a different race from Coastal Alimeer. Even with these very different subraces of Alimeer they all share one defining trait, an inhuman head that has a curved spike on the back and pincer like protrusions from their chins. Along with this strange head they all possess gills instead of lungs, but such gills have adapted to become suited to the environment they are from, and will not always work for water. The Alimeer of different terrains developed very different cultures as well, and so split off into different countries, thus putting a stop to the domination of everything by the Alimeer.
