Zarrin avarians are blue skinned, light haired avarians. They are believed to be the origin of the race by other races, though they tend to think of themselves as the lessers to the zenithians. Zarrin have a natural arcane ability that enabled them to build quickly and efficiently, as they could use this to almost have an extra set of very powerful arms.

Dracon avarians are known for their red skin tones that are usually speckled with small scales, darker hair color, and horns. According to some of the older writings, dracon avarians used to be normal avarians, but were gifted these attributes along with a natural ability to wield fire by an ancient draconic. To most other avarians they are strange looking, and it is believed that in that time the blessing was seen as a curse by the other two races. Dracon avarians may be the sole reason others can wield the element of fire in the first place.

Zenithian avarians are the most vividly different from the other two, featuring large wings on their backs and feathers in place of the plume of fur at the end of other avarian's tails as well as atop their ears. These wings are most commonly half feathered and half skin, but can be fully feathered hiding the bat-like qualities. Very rarely will they have no feathers at all, and those with this are usually outcast by zenithian society. They have blue skin like zarrinian avarians do, and usually lighter hair as well. All records of their strange feathered and winged features origins are either burned or kept hidden by the zenithian capital's government, as they believe they are at the top of the evolutionary tiers. Zenithians also have a natural arcane affinity, though they learn other elements and magics very quickly as well.

Mixes of all kinds exist, usually showing most prominently in skin tones and extra features such as horns, feathers, and wings. Zenithians that mix with dracons for an extreme example can birth children that have dark wings and feathers with a set of horns and dark blue or purple skin. Sometimes the other race won't show very strongly in the child, maybe a zarrin and a dracon will mix to birth a child with no horns and light enough hair that its not too noticeable, but the skin will be a lavender color with a few scales speckled along the shoulders like freckles. There are all sorts of possibilities, and with a few zenithians becoming more progress and less xenophobic, mixes are becoming more common. The biggest issue faced is racism from zenithians, as they believe themselves to be the most perfect and pure form on Zarrond, and they tend to drill this into children and adults alike.

Zburator are fearsome creatures. They resemble a hybrid of wolf and dragon, and are large and strong. They have a bipedal body that is both furred and scaled, with sharp edged plates on the shoulders, forearms, shins, tail, and from the throat down to the groin. The wings on their backs aren't truly necessary, and are used less for flying and more for short glides or for extra graspers when scaling mountains. They have wolf like snouts with bright orange-yellow faded mouths and innards, as if fire burns within their very bodies. The mouth is armed with large dragon-like fangs and has a forked tongue. The horns are almost always different on every Zburator. Spines run from the forehead down the back and end around the base of the tail. 

Zburator are around 7-8ft tall, with some getting to be almost 9ft. The average weight is around 190-220lbs.

As with their mortal enemy the Enfield, there is little sexual dimorphism in them. Both male and female are dark colored. Females are generally a little smaller than males and are sometimes known to have shorter horns than males. There are few studies about the Zburator as most people are too afraid to approach them for fear of being torn to pieces.

Zburator live in large nomadic tribes on the continent of Xharc. They stop for a month or so then leave, and if villages or cities are nearby they are often attacked and raided for fun. Zburator follow an Alpha that is usually a bit larger than the others, and traditionally wear leather patched pants that are usually ragged from fights.

Culture in the tribes is rather violent, with skirmishes and wrestling being what most do in their free time. Hunting is done in groups of three to four and children are taught to fight and hunt from as early as four years. 

Despite savage behavior Zburator have a sense of kinmanship amongst each other and also a run trade with other tribes when they pass each other. Some dislike the violent ways however and leave for cities, though this is rare.
