Druthyr

Basic Information

Anatomy

Druthyr are a subspecies of elves, one that has intertwinned with the power of Vampires. As such their anatomy reflects both heritages, tall and willowy with the graceful limbs of elves, combined with the pale, pallid skin and sharp canines of vampires.

Genetics and Reproduction

Druthyr reproduce similarly to other elves, albeit with some distinct differences. When a Druthyr couple wish to produce a child, they do so, over a gestation period of 2 years. However, once the child is born, the Druthyr parents give the child its first drink from blood pooled from their veins.

Growth Rate & Stages

Druthyr grow at a similar rate to other elves, slowly growing to a teenager at around 50 years, only being considered an adult around 100, and living to around 600-700 years, slightly older than other elves.

Dietary Needs and Habits

Druthyr do not require blood unlike true blooded vampires. However, they avoid the mostly herbivore diet of the other elven subspecies, instead preferring a far more carnivorous diet
