Spriggats are large humanoid creatures with wings that primarily dwell underground. They possess a hide that is smooth and hard to the touch, like polished marble, yet extremely supple.
Spriggat Types[]
Every spriggat is born with an elemental affinity that is conspicuously shown by the color of their hide and the type of breath attack they use.

Politics[]
The Spriggats use to have their own state-nation called Spriggatia. The Spriggat independence was ended when the Shadowling Empire conquered and annexed Spriggatia. As part of the Shadowling society, the Spriggats were treated as an underclass and became resentful of shadowlings for it. This resentment gave birth to a Spriggat rebellion called the Shadowling Civil War. The Spriggat rebels were called the Dissidents by their Shadowling enemy. When the war ended with the Shadowling Queen's death, the Shadowling Republic was formed. This new government was based on Spriggat-Shadowling equality.
