Kumens: Kumens, also known as "detras", which means "imitation-devil", a very wretched curse word for them, are devil-like creatures that were literally made for war and stand at four feet tall. The gods and devils were fighting, so they decided to settle their fight with a race. They decided that if they could make a race that was made for war, and seemed evil, yet still didn't cause a fight, then their fight was stupid and they would stop it. However, their idea didn't work, for the Kumens started a mass war. The gods and devils returned to fighting.
They can sleep for just four hours a day, even able to go as little as two. They have any kind of valuable metal or jem kind color for their outfit, and two devil tails merged together at the base. Kumens have poison in their tails and mouth, but they can easily spit acid out of their mouth. They also have curled horns with flesh over them that excrete a salve twice a day when tapped. Males have taller horns because they grow much quicker, which is also why they have oval eyes, as opposed to the female's cat-shaped eyes.
Kumens speak in a language called "Knontok", which sounds like hisses and "kch" sounds, syllables that sound "evil" to humans. This was intentional.
Kumens are very strict and honorful creatures. When the war was raging, it was worse shame than death to not give your life for it. Refugees were killed on sight. They also were to never break vows. The punishment would be death. Only higher-level Kumens were able to get lesser punishments.
Kumens, strong though they are, have two strong weaknesses. If you yank one by the tail, they will be paralyzed. The other one was discovered as Kumens were winning the war. Every time in the winter, they would somehow disappear. Their homes and cities would be gone, too. That's because in the first week of winter, they stop moving, stop thinking. They completely freeze.

Bird-Beasts: Bird-Beasts are bat-like creatures that are about four feet tall. They are normally a very care-free race, and they all work in circuses. They ran from the war, but the humans threatend them, so they were allowed to live for their circuses.
They are normally purple, but there are white Bird-Beasts. They are rare, however, so most of them are supposed to only breed with the finest Bird-Beasts, and perfect their circus skills.

Youamees: Youamees are small, insectish creatures that are green, yellow, and blue with red eyes. They are normally green with yellow, or yellow with green. Blue with green/yellow is slightly rarer, but stil common.
They look like they have many nostrils, but they only have one. There are many wrinkles below and above it, though, so it looks like they have several.
Youamees used to have legs, but since they had no need for them whatsoever, they soon became deformed. Instead, they float, but no one knows how.
Youamees can only defend themself with bombs. Otherwise, they are worthless. Every day they generate a kind of gelatinous ooze in their stomach. They eat little, so when a Youamee looks bloated, it's because they haven't used a bomb in awhile and their ooze builds up. After awhile, though, it stops until they use some.

| Bou-roos: The Bou-roo race was the first to die off in the war. The Bird-Beasts, taking pity on them, buried the blue creatures in a large graveyard they made. The Bou-rooes came back as ghosts, and curse any Kumen or Human they see for starting the war, and bless any Bird-Beast for being kind.

| Treants: No one knows much about these creatures. They look identical to trees, and have some magical powers. However, they are treated like gods for their sacrifice in the war.
