Zern

Zern (ゼルン) are one of the heteromorphic species living in the Abelion Hills.

Background
Zern are a species that many humans wonder if they should be classified as heteromorphs. However, Zern can be affected by spells that worked on demi-humans, so they were classed as the latter. But in fact they truly are heteromorphs.

They were one of many races that Jaldabaoth enslaved as part of his demi-human coalition to attack the Roble Holy Kingdom.

Appearance
Zern is a slimy species with whose upper bodies are like eels with arms and whose slimy lower bodies are like blue-colored maggots. They are a sexually dimorphic race, females possess blue skin while the rare males possess purple skin.

Abilities
Zern have the racial weakness of being affected by race-specific spells, so people have mistakenly classified them as demi-humans when they are in fact heteromorphs.

Culture
Males within the Zern species are few. On occasion when a new one is born, they instantly become royalty. Life of a Royal is mostly secluded with one never leaving the nest to the end of his life.
