The Iridium Curse
History
The people that possess the Iridium Curse were once Wood Elves that lived in a small forest village. In the year 31279 BBE, a dwarf wizard called Liender, the Psycho created a spell that changed permanetly the target humanoid into a animal hybrids. He named it Furrymorph and decided to test it in a village located in the dense jungles of Rivien. He managed to use it in all of it's citizens and they changed into Iridios.
Neat reason for having different animal-human hybrid type species! My world has "magical mutations," so I like seeing someone else having done something similar.
