Selkra

The Selkra are a serpent-like species native to the subtropical forests and southern jungles of Bazwebwe but they're also some selkra colonies called soolks discovered in Kada in the continent of Lazzeatir. They have come from two entities, Burren Aslick the king of serpents and Lura ramk the goddess of the moon. Their societal structure is based on their genetics or their tail and eye color and tail length if we're getting into specifics, they call this the Blood Hierarchy. Basically, on the top of the hierarchy red bloods and purple bloods are the ones with power and rule over the Selkra colonies call shoolks while on the very bottom of the hierarchy blue selkras are peasants and aren't really cared about but they're accepted into the shoolks regardless.

Physical Description and Physique
Selkra's are semi-aquatic serpents that are half snake and half feline [also half siren but I will get to that later]. They have a snake-like tail, patches of scales all over their body and long rounded ears kind of similar to a dragon. Their cat-like features are almost nonexistent due to some complications surrounding Burren's and Lura's relationship over the years and something else but they still kept their instincts regardless. They also have webbed hands and feet when having contact with water which came from a siren named Vivialori that Burren secretly had an affair with. Selkras are an 'Athletic Build' due to their climate in the southern jungles and subtropical forests of Bazwebwe.

Lifestyle
Most Selkras are pescatarians, meaning their usual ration contains fruit, fish and other seafood, fresh vegetables, dairy, nuts, and whole grains.

The average lifespan of a Selkra is between the ages of 510-830, runts are 100-200 and purple bloods are basically immortal. The age of maturity is 21 but the age of consent is at 18. There's a 30% chance a female is born, so their reproduction is kind of strange. Male Selkras can get pregnant due to them having a uterus, overavies, and the genitalia that hides in a slit. Their pregnancy lasts for 8 months and the kit is usually born in mid fall or in early spring.

Naming
The first letter in a Selkra kit's name is based on one of their parents'first letter in their name but it is possible for a kit to not be named by the first letter in their parents name. The most common first letters are A, S, B, M, and T.

Elkos
Elkos are a mythical creature in selkra folklore that have the body of a snake, the feet, hands and head of a feline, and the wings of a bat. They represent loyalty, honor, wisdom, and social wealth.
