Dalmus can be described as having strong, yet slender bodies, their ears are pointed and their faces are sharp, maturing at the same pace that humans do, they outlive humans often exceeding 90 but rarely do they live beyond 120.

Skin colour ranges from inky black,  light grey (thought rarely) and pale white, Hair colour is of the normal range with occasionally yellow, orange, red, purple, blue and green shades in the hair. Dalmus Eye colour is odd it includes violet, bright orange, yellow, gold, silver, copper, red, crimson, pink, dark green, multicolored, vibrant blue and green, Dalmus never have 'normal' coloured eyes, thought part dalmus don't have odd eye colours, simply hints of it.

Dalmus are almost wired to be adventurers, driven by whatever some Dalmus consider adventuring as a right of passage, others believe that the gods or other beings want or make Dalmus adventure, and still others believe that Dalmus adventure to reclaim their history, culture or other similar things. Some Dalmus believe that they ancestors were stars that colonised the world,  while others believe that Dalmus were rocks and the like, only becoming sentient when stardust landed on them. The reasons why Dalmus are so devoted to history is to find out which idea is right, that they're stars or were granted sentience,  Dalmus think that someone in the past had figured out which theory was right and they left clues for future generations to come.
