Terranites

Terranites are only found in deep caves named Terranite Caves by Manaworldians. They constantly live under the surface because their body is not adapted to see light. Actually, in the opposite of many other monsters, Terranites are intelligent living forms, more intelligent than manaworldians themselves. You may wonder what's the proof of that ? Well, you could find it by sitting and observing both communities, even if you can see a lower nomber of Terranites than Manaworldians. Here are fundamental different aspects:

• While Manaworldians hunt Terranites for the rare and rich items they carry on, Terranites never come to fight Manaworldians to stole their items. Every single fight between a Manaworldian and a Terranite involves an attacking Manaworldian and a defending Terranite. You can find only one exception... When Terranites join the chaos that sometimes takes place in Hurnscald, to have a taste of revenge against Manaworldians looters.
• Terranites try to defend themselves in community, often with a group of three, even if they're rather powerful. Manaworldians, even weak, try to beat them alone...
• The most interesting thing is when a Manaworldian attacks terranites with a friend. Some of them kills between themselves, but some others seems to behave like a community. I say seems because they can be considered like a group until a fallen Terranites drops a rare gem. When it happens, the group suddenly breaks to decide who's the owner of the drop, which is of course the survivor. After that, the fallen despaired and stolen Manaworldian regularly comes back trying to kill the thief of insulting him. What a pity for Terranites to see and hear that...

I have noticed other characteristics of Terranites investigating on them, such as this list above:

• You can find Terranites in great depth range under the earth, but also on the frozen surface. In fact, their skin looks so evoluted that they can survive in a lot of different environments. They are almost insensitive to variations of temperature. However, they are very light sensitive, but they make excellent light-stopping full-body armors as a remedy.
• They make strong and extremely light armors from an unknown ore only sometimes found on them, hence called the Terranite Ore. Amethysts, Sapphire or other precious gems are rare and really hard to find, but you can still find them digging. However, none Manaworldian have ever found a single Terranite Ore except dropped or abandoned by a Terranite... Isn't it a bit weird ?
