These ferocious predators with feline features hunt on the northern steppes, their high calorie requirements keeping their numbers low, and requires them to always be on the move, moving from hunting ground to hunting ground. Though their strong constitutions, keen senses, and muscular anatomy also means that they make excellent scavengers, being able to locate animals that have been brought down and driving off anything else that wants to eat the corpse.

Large (roughly Albatross sized) Carnivorous Psittacines who have evolved tool use, language and full sociality. Appearance varies somewhat based on location, genetics, magical alteration and a communities favoured prey species but is usually vivid contrasting colours that nevertheless provide some camouflage in their area. They use magic to both assist in prey capture and to self-modify via magical epigenetics to better catch prey, deep forest ones being better at manoeuvring through trees while seaside dwelling communities are superior at cracking open shells and catching fish for example. Due to their arms being dedicated wings they must use their beaks and feet as manipulators.

Found primarily around the eastern boreal clime, these armed snakes have come out rather unlucky from an evolutionary standpoint: being obligate carnivores with high caloric requirements yet lacking strong muscles to strike with, keen senses to track with, a hardy constitution to scavenge, or any magical sensitivity to bend the laws of the world. Necessity, then, pushed their ancestors into the role of ambush hunters, launching surprise strikes in hopes of making their first attack the last. It was not long before they were crafting and wielding primitive tools to make their hunts more successful, and then rapidly advanced as their long lives gave those elders who had managed to thrive ample time to teach the next generation.

A humanoid body attached at the waist to a snake. Not a snake tail, a snake. It's like a unicorn if the horn was the upper half of a humanoid body and the horse was a snake. Unlike most Centauroid beings, this humanoid body is a decoy, and from a strictly cladistic standpoint they may not qualify as Centauroid at all. Their primary hunting strategy is to hide the snake underwater or in the underbrush and use the humanoid to lure humanoids or other animals that eat humanoids, though they also supplement their diet with fish. Needing to convincingly imitate humanoids has left them surprisingly social, and they're perfectly capable of communicating and cooperating with their nominal prey provided they don't get hungry enough to reconsider the arrangement. They are, however, still mostly solitary by default and only rarely form anything that could be considered a community by more than the loosest definitions. Finding enough food for a group can be a considerable challenge.

Adapted for the heat yet located in a subarctic climate due to an unknown phenomena in the distant past, every day is a struggle for these small humanoids against the climate itself.
If not for their magical talent this species would have died off long ago, needing a mixture of instinctive magics to merely survive most crucially among them water breathing and supernaturally insulating their aquatic homes to survive the long and harsh winters. With the failure of either of these crucial magics resulting in a swift death of hypothermia this has pressured the remaining population towards magic and a hibernation-like lifestyle.

While they are always capable of producing children either through impregnating others or being impregnated themselves, their bodies shift and change in order to make certain roles easier such as wider hips to bear children. A Herculean can stay in a single role for much of their life, it is impossible for it to be their entire lifespan unless they die quickly.

The ancient oral traditions suggest that the ancestors of these people were creatures called 'dragons', magically potent reptilian predators that dominate the territories around their lairs. If so, it's been some time since then. However they still possess many of the reptilian features of their supposed ancestors, though it may be hard to see the scales under the odd feathers that cover most of their skin. That said whilst the magical strength may have been lost, the senses of those supposed Dragons are seemingly fully present. Which is fortunate for their hunting efforts due to how problematic gaining sufficient food from plants is for them, something that is usually blamed on only adapting to consume vegetation comparatively recently in their species history.

Naturally strong humanoids that have jet-black skin starting down from their neck. Perhaps if their differences from other species were limited to this, they could be called generic. However, their method of procreation is rather exotic. New individuals spawn from the blood of other members of this species. The more blood there is, the healthier the resulting children. The more individuals contribute their blood, the more genetic diversity there is. For these reasons, members of this race ritualize reproduction, coming down into caves specifically prepared for this (navigating with their magnetoreception) in great numbers and spilling blood in a very violent display of love and passion. Further details of the ritual may vary. Sometimes only the strongest survives this bloodshed, and sometimes the worst one can suffer is anaemia.

These people, whose name is largely unpronounceable to non-aquatic people, have an upper humanoid half and a lower octopodal half. These aquatic dwelling people make up for a weak constitution, short lives, difficulty processing many foods, and lack of magical ability and with eusocial organization and clever minds.

Present in Hexes: 385 (Small)
The feathery head, arms and wings of an eagle avian person attached to a serpentine tubular body. These serpentine people have managed to survive by way of a very intricate digestive system and quickened maturation at the expense of their general health. They fear the dark, either living atop trees where the skies are clear, atop other geological features, or in communities that keep fires lit until dawn.

The Dwarren are a short and short lived species that lives primarily underground, in caverns they themselves carve.
They have fur across their body, and a bushy beard. Dedicated and industrious, Dwarren spend all of their lives working for the betterment of the Clan. A matriarchal society, they are born from "Brood-Mothers," who are so enlarged by constant pregnancy they cannot easily move.

Like many herbivorous species this species revels in up close and personal violence when threatened, and since they have sturdy forms and sharp senses they are plenty effective at it. Their long lives enable them to build up a deep reservoir of skills that makes their communities a difficult target for more conventionally violent peoples.

A peaceful aquatic people ill suited for violent endeavours. While humanoid in body plan, they aesthetically resemble jellyfish, with bulbous heads and streamers of flesh like filigree drifting after them in the water. Their colouration and poisonous flesh help to dissuade predators who would otherwise find it easy to rip them apart. This does not help against opponents whose desires are malicious rather than ravenous however.

This species are intelligent parasitoid wasps that sting living animals to deposit their eggs inside of them. The eggs burrow deep into the host and when they hatch, the larvae feast upon the creature from the inside out until the wasps are ready to emerge and continue their reproduction cycle.
Able to communicate with each other via telepathy, often all their neighbours know of them is their terrifying buzzing as they approach on the hunt.
Sometimes, the wasps will deliberately avoid killing their hosts, provided they continue being useful. These wasps are aware of how weak and despised they are, and as such, they do everything in their power to increase their numbers, so that the species may avoid extinction.

Humanoids whose most striking feature is a lack of face, for they have wandering lights on a mask like magical structure insead. Although they are capable of producing sounds not very different from dolphins, and can form pictures with light on their masks. This is perhaps the only magic this species is blessed with, although it doesn't help them much. Beside it, this species has skin the colour of charcoal and hair of ripe barley, though both may be lighter the more south one goes.
Another peculiar quality of theirs is their weakness. Although very nimble, they still will lose in a pure match of strength. Their most notable strength is to see in something or someone what others can not see. Where others see simply a leaf , they see an adornment, a serenity of nature, and a beauty. This applies to most things, including people. The Children may overthink things, but they also tend to create items unheard of.

NOTES:
1) "We're all we've got" and CORAL votes were invalid and their votes were transfered semi randomly. Coral between other eusocial aquatic species and the last randomly to the Octopi. All we've got went randomly to a homo sapiens species, Vacla.
2) I do like the concepts though, so they will
still exist elsewhere in the world, but will not be part of the game.
3) The population of the subcontinent is roughly 3 million.
4) All populations in Hexes are currently "Small", which is more than enough to be a viable gene pool even if half the population is killed.
5) Each hex has an unmarked "Tiny" population around it. And beyond that an unmarked "Negligible" population. Keep this in mind for later.
6) Exact numbers are not available to you right now.
7) No new map for now because I'm worn out from this.
8) Next vote later tonight. (I had the first 5 mostly pre-written)
