#septarians

This is something I've been wanting to do for over a year, but laziness and life's responsibilities kept me from getting around to it.

It's information about the Septarian species that exist in my SVTFOE universe.

It took days because of work, but finally I finished.

Talking about them, my favorites are the Tundra or Ice Septarians; they're super calm, and the Forest Septarians; they're attractive in some way.

Toffee, in this case, would be from the Forest on his mother's side, and Rasticore from the Desert on his father's side.

@galstoffeecorner's Kiki.

When Toffee lost his army, he lost his purpose in life. It irritates me when his motives are reduced to the simplistic phrase "he did it all for a finger." Oh no. He did everything to regain his purpose.

We know from the "Book of Spells" that he is a prince. So, at one point, he had a choice: a safe, secure life or the army. And he chose the latter.

It was a conscious renunciation of privilege in service of his idea. He had been raising an army since his youth—how many years did it take?

And now—a little girl, Moon, destroys this idea with one blow. What's taken from Toffee isn't power, or "status," or "a finger."

What's taken from him is his!!!!worldview!!!!, the very thing that shaped his personality.

His emotional freeze is wartime PTSD, compounded by the loss of his purpose in life. And this icy silence erupts with the same raging fire as in his youth. We see this when he's trapped in the wand as a slime. There, the real Toffee emerges: an emotional sadist, seething from within, even though he's always been considered icy on the outside.

Is that why they didn't call the Septarians for help when Mina invaded? Because Moon destroyed Septarsis, and with it Mewni’s best defense against the Solarians?

Comparison: General Monsters vs. Septarians in Star vs. the Forces of Evil

Appearance:

General Monsters: Extremely diverse — frog-like (Buff Frog), bird-like, multi-limbed, plant-based, demonic (Tom Lucitor), giant size-shifters (Globgor), bearicorn hybrids, and many more animalistic or fantastical forms.

Septarians: Sleek, humanoid reptilian lizards with blue/green skin, muscular builds, dark hair (often slicked back), sharp features, and yellow eyes. They have a more refined, almost "business-like" aesthetic (e.g., Toffee in suits).

Abilities:

General Monsters: Powers vary widely by individual — size manipulation, super strength, fire breath (Tom), minor magic, or no special abilities at all. Most are mortal and can be injured/killed normally.

Septarians: Signature rapid regeneration that allows them to regrow entire limbs and organs almost instantly, granting near-immortality. They also possess enhanced strength, durability, and combat prowess. Only Eclipsa's "darkest spell" or total disintegration can permanently kill them.

Lifespan/Immortality:

General Monsters: Normal lifespans; they age and die like most beings (though some species, like demons, may live longer).

Septarians: Effectively immortal due to regeneration; they can survive for centuries and hold grudges across generations (Toffee planned revenge over decades).

Society/Culture:

General Monsters: Live in scattered villages, the Monster Temple, or wilderness areas. Many are family-oriented and community-focused; later seasons show them seeking peace and equality under Eclipsa.

Septarians: Originate from the hidden, advanced city of Septarsis. More militaristic, sophisticated, and isolationist; known for extreme ruthlessness and long-term plotting.

Reputation:

General Monsters: Lumped together and discriminated against by Mewmans as "barbaric" or "inferior," despite many being peaceful or reformed (e.g., Buff Frog becomes an ally).

Septarians: Feared and distrusted by both Mewmans and other monsters due to their cunning, vengeful nature, and history of aggression.

Notable Examples:

General Monsters: Buff Frog, Globgor, Tom Lucitor, Ludo's various minions (bearicorns, rat soldiers), Meat Fork, residents of the Monster Temple.

Septarians: Toffee (master manipulator), Rasticore (regenerating bounty hunter), Seth (ancient warmonger).

Role in the Story:

General Monsters: Primarily portrayed as victims of Mewman colonialism and racism; many become allies fighting for integration and rights.
