Nightcrawlers

Named as such because of their nocturnal nature, nightcrawlers are a friendly group of small creatures who excel in magic. They live in any environment and their single eyes lack depth perception but can see in the dark so well that even a flashlight could hurt their eyes. This can be worked on, but it is hard for nightcrawlers to give up what they feel makes them them.

All nightcrawlers have a prehensile tail with a hand on the end, used for gathering objects and aiding them in magic. On rare occasions a nightcrawler is born with a second tail.

Their bodies come in various dark shades, with their hands being darker. Occasionally they will have spots or stripes to mimic the trees, canyons, or fields they live in.

Abilities
Adept at magic. They rarely specialize in certain types of magic, but when they do, it's often elemental magic. They prefer to be a jack of all trades.

Because of their tails, they are excellent climbers and performers.

Reproduction
Nghtcrawlers are perhaps the closest of the known creatures to humans in how they reproduce. Though because of their small size and squishy limbs, the gestation period is four months rather than nine or ten, and rarely do they have more than one child at a time.

The child is also born with only a stump for a tail, but as they grow and the hand forms, nerve endings will connect and they will gradually be able to control their tails like their arms.
