#threllys lore

Fun fact! All Threllys are born with fish-like tails instead of legs. There is a way for them to shed their tails in exchange for legs, but it is a long and painful process. Kheii Jahl and Qariev both went through this on order to live on land. Kheii was fairly young, and doesn't remember it to much; he also adapted to land life pretty easily. The fin on their backs was not shed because it is largely attached to their upper body, which remains almost entirely unchanged by the process. The part that would have attached to their tail is now free. Kheii can move it to some degree, as his younger body adapted to his new form, but Qariev cannot volunarily move it and frequently finds it inconvenient and uncomfortable.

Also, Threllys born on land to a mother in a form with legs will be born with legs and will not have a fully aquatic form with a tail.
