jélis

Jélis is a fictional creature from the fantasy novel "The Chronicles of Eldoria" by author Elara Vance. Within the narrative, jélis are described as small, elusive beings inhabiting the Whispering Woods. Their physical appearance is characterized by iridescent scales that shift color with the ambient light, giving them a shimmering, almost ethereal quality. They possess large, luminous eyes that are said to be able to see in complete darkness and delicate, membranous wings that allow for silent flight.

The diet of a jélis primarily consists of moonlight and dew collected from rare nocturnal flowers. They are known for their gentle nature and are rarely seen by humanoids, often preferring to observe from a distance. Legends within Eldoria suggest that jélis possess a unique form of telepathic communication, able to convey emotions and simple images to those with an open mind. They are believed to play a role in maintaining the magical balance of the Whispering Woods, though the exact nature of this role remains a mystery within the story. Their existence is often considered a myth by many inhabitants of Eldoria, but those who claim to have encountered them speak of a profound sense of peace and wonder.
