Lilabaris

Lilabaris is a fictional creature originating from the folklore of the Aethelian plains. These beings are described as nocturnal, possessing a bioluminescent hide that emits a soft, ethereal glow, primarily in shades of blue and violet. Their physical form is typically depicted as quadrupedal, with a slender build and elongated limbs, allowing for swift and silent movement through their natural habitat of dense woodlands and open meadows. The lore surrounding Lilabaris often portrays them as shy and elusive, rarely seen by humans. Their diet is believed to consist mainly of phosphorescent fungi and certain types of dew-kissed flowers, which are thought to contribute to their glowing properties. Legends suggest that the light of a Lilabaris can have a calming effect on those who witness it, though direct interaction is considered exceptionally rare. Some tales also associate them with good fortune and gentle guidance for lost travelers. The exact origin of the Lilabaris in Aethelian mythology is unclear, with various stories attributing their creation to ancient forest spirits or celestial events. Their presence is a recurring motif in Aethelian art and storytelling, symbolizing mystery and the unseen beauty of the natural world.
