Ganablin

Ganablins are a short, violent sentient species from Mauray. Ganablin culture mostly prevents them form creating advanced technologies, and are more survival focused. They will try to eat anything they come across, including other sentient species and without any decleration of war. This has earned them a reputation for being violent savages that want nothing but to kill and eat everyone else. Ganablin also have average - high magic attunement.
  While most ganablins are attacked on sight by other species due to their reputation, there are a number of them that have proven themselves to be more 'civilized' and allowed to roam in some other species socities. They might still be attacked by some who dont know if a specific person has proven themselves however. The ganablin will only attack members of their own species under very extreme circumstances, such as if they are at risk of starvation and there is little food available.
  The ganablins are actually very smart despite appearing very primitive. This allows them to strike more effectively against so many different fronts. The ganablin are also very fast and strong, but this has resulted in a fast metabolism as they use so much energy so they require a lot of food to survive. Despite their small size, they can challenge people like humans in strength. The ganablins can also make some wars between specific nations difficult by destroying military supply convoys and taking supplies for themselves. This happens on both sides which can easily lead to stalemate. Convoys need a very powerful escort to make it to the front safely, making it nessessary to move troops from the front to defend supplies. Many nations have tried using fewer, larger convoys but this increases the prize that the ganablins can recovery if they raid it successfully, so large convoys are more likely to be raided.
  The ganablin reproduce quite slowly but their children will grow very fast in comparison to most species which can allow for fast increases in population, especially if they focus on reproduction. Males are about twice as common as females but in most ganablin cultures they do not get married, instead doing reproduction when they feel the need arises, sometimes even with strangers.

Basic Information

Growth Rate & Stages

Having a fast metabolism, they grow quite fast. They reach full size in ~10 years and live to 60. They become fertile after ~8 years.

Ecology and Habitats

They mostly live in naturally formed caves. Sometimes those caves can be megastructures.

Dietary Needs and Habits

They have a fast metabolism. They need to eat a lot, but this gives their bodies acess to a lot of energy. They use this for hunting.

Civilization and Culture

History

They were first engineered by the planet itself on Alix. Their population grew rapidly and spread to other continents such as Neublis and Ekera. The planet saw this sucess and engineered them in several other continents through the world. However, as the Ganablin seem to have an arrested culture that doesnt seem to develop beyond hunter-gathering, their history remains as mostly constant. Basically they kill people to eat them and everyone else fights back.
