(Quick Warning: this chapter is going to be really long, sorry about that)

"I think now we just need to name these creatures just like Lucien's." Born said.

"Well not exactly in the same way as the Amphibiantes." Ad-juru said. "Considering the appearance and natural predisposition of these beings, in addition to the innate ability to stimulate the growth of the surrounding flora by unused MATER radiation but filtered for a much less harmful radiation. I believe that we should name them based on characteristics and not taxonomy or genetics ." Finished.

"Why that?" Tyama asked. "Isn't it easier to simply name them as something like the plantae-sapiens species or simply as a sentient plant?"

"Simply because they have more similarities to animals than plants." Lucien said and elaborated a little more. "The similarities between them and plants are summarized in slower development and the capacity for photosynthesis, while the similarities with animals, more specifically with mammals, can be observed in all other aspects of their lives, both physiological and psychological." Lucien said, showing the biological components, including the male and female reproductive system, identical to that of any mammal.

"Although there is a crucial difference in the aspect of hormonal release for maturation, as the upper nucleolus developed next to the pituitary gland, severely reducing the quantity but improving the quality of hormones, combined with the ability to control the malleable matter they possess, It ended up resulting in almost perfect physical development, except for some inherent irregularities." Lauriel explained.

"Um, okay, okay, got it." Tyama said slightly tired of the explanation. "But if so, how are we, or you in this case, going to name them based on "their appearance and natural predisposition"?

Then literally everyone in the room, even Hooku-ha and Rosemary, were amazed at the lack of attention or simply lack of interest that the young woman with horns showed in view of the clear hints shown.

"I already imagined it, but you and your lizards don't really have the habit of reading much, do you." Camilo said exasperatedly, with a slight hint of mockery in his voice. This tone did not go unnoticed by Tyama.

"No, not much, we prefer only knowledge that is useful to us, generally about terrain, hunting locations and best ways to hunt. Of course, it helps a lot to have an archive of shared knowledge accessible whenever it is needed." Tyama said. "It's much more useful than filling your cave with easily flammable books." He ended up looking at the young man in the suit out of the corner of his eye. Which in turn tried hard not to do something stupid at the same time, remembering the unfortunate first contact I had with someone like Tyama.

"ENOUGH!" Old Zhun said slamming his staff on the ground. Making Tyama and Camilo stop looking at each other as if they were going to jump at the other's throat at any moment.

"Aaaahhhhh, Tyama you have to control your temper. Camilo didn't say it out of spite or to try to diminish you or your species." Lucien said looking at Tyama who avoided his gaze again. "And Camilo, even though we know your intention, the way you said it could have been better, you know that they don't really have the habit of reading, even among us, besides you, very few still use physical books for reading."

Camilo just lowered his head and nodded. Assuming the small discussion was over, they continued to conclude the conversation.

"Very well, to answer your question Tyama, we will name them with the same name as a fictional species from ancient Earth stories that have great similarities with these beings." Born took the floor. "Therefore, beings in Lauriel's territory will now be known "officially" and informally known as primal elves."

"I still think we could improve this table, at least in relation to these new beings." Born said, irritated by the appearance of the table.

"When we're done getting the main parties together we can take care of this. Until then, hold on a little longer." Zhun said to the blonde, who just snorted and watched as he enjoyed it.

"Now who would like to speak?"

Ulik stood up, immediately gaining everyone's attention.

"Considering that we were inspired by fictional beings to name Lauriel's creatures, I believe that we will go in that direction in relation to the creatures that I will show you." Ulik said and soon 2 pairs of creatures appeared, 2 males and two females.

The couple on the right had large and muscular physiques, they were at the same time less and more human than the previous two beings, after all they had dark green skin with slightly pointed ears and protruding jaws with the lower canines displayed.

While the couple on the left were also large, and the least human-like so far, the male had grayer skin with fur that met his hair and formed a mane that ran down his back, and a face that could only being described as a cross between a boar and a wolf, with tusks that were almost like knives because they were so large. The female was slightly less muscular and had smaller fangs, and had much less hair on her body.

"Hah, after elves now appear orcs and two species on top of that huh." Hooku-ha said, slapping his own thigh.

"In every possible sense, yes, they are orcs. Having the same genetic origins, receiving variations from the environment, the orcs on the right developed in mere centuries after separating from the orcs on the left and began to inhabit arboreal forests. The orcs on the on the left, they inhabit colder climates, being much closer to my area of ​​​​domain, but both have physiques, mentality and adaptability more than enough to survive in these environments even with the fierce competition with other mutant creatures." Ulik said and went on to show the biological differences between the two subspecies.

"Their differences are not just aesthetic, those on the right have a more civilized development than those on the left. This is due to the location of the superior nucleolus which is located right in the insula, between the parietal and frontal lobes." Ulik zoomed in on this part of the brain in both species. 

"The formation of their brains, as you can see, is different from other creatures, being more similar to mutated creatures than to ancient humans. Of course, their brains have developed enough for them to have their own culture and emotional behavior, but they simply cannot develop beyond a certain point, brains apparently prevent that development." 

Ulik then placed images of a human brain from the time of decay, an image of an amphibious brain and an image of an elf brain. It was easy to see the similarities and also the differences, mainly because the human brain did not have those small lumps that others had and the positions of some components between the brains were also slightly different.

A good example would be in the brain of elves, with them having frontal lobes, in a normal human the frontal lobe would occupy about 1/3 the size of the other lobes, with it being responsible for voluntary movement, language, emotional responses and personality equally. In elves it would be a little larger, occupying 1.3/3 of the brain, but having a different distribution of function, improving movements but slightly decreasing emotional response and leaving them with a more fixed and less flexible personality, essentially meaning that they would be more stubborn than most beings.

In orcs, on the other hand (both sub-species), the frontal lobe would occupy 0.9/3, being mainly responsible for movements, also reducing the emotional response and with underdeveloped personal personality, being guided more by the environment and therefore more instinctive, meaning that they would have a smaller emotional response on a personal level, but their survival instinct would be greater.

Competing with them to bond and survive harder and leave as many offspring as possible with as many partners as possible for them guarantee a more diverse and potentially stronger offspring, with the majority always having exceptions.

"Regarding their interaction with MATER radiation, both species have more difficulty in manipulating malleable matter, especially the orcs on the left. The more developed the brain, the better the understanding of the components of matter and the easier it is to use MATER particles to alter them, as both species do not have much mental development, their ability to use MATER is very limited, although possible." Ulik said, took a breath and continued. 

"However, that doesn't mean they don't use it, in fact I think they use it more than the elves."

This made the others intrigued, except Tyama who still didn't understand what was so interesting about this.

"As everyone is tired of knowing, the beings that have developed since the Event continued to evolve with various mutations until they were able to withstand, as best they could, MATER radiation. The best solution they found was to constantly use MATER to strengthen .their bodies, and that's what orcs do." Ulik brought back images of the brains and showed the image of the lower nucleolus, located right at the upper tip of the pectoral sinus the size of an adult's thumb.

"However, this reinforcement is involuntary, therefore the rate of absorption of MATER into their body in this way is considerably lower than that of other creatures, and may be even lower than that of a 3rd degree walled creature. But due to the fact that it is a constant reinforcement since womb, the level of physical strength and reaction speed is greater than that of all new beings so far and even of creatures mutated 5 or 6 degrees." Ulik concluded by showing the filaments that spread like a second respiratory and circulatory system in orcs.

"Finally, I would just like to add that in these beings, the smaller the intellect, the greater the absorption of MATER in the body, but its use is deficient and it takes time for them to be able to understand how to use force properly. The older ones are often as strong as the younger ones. Remembering that they tend to get stronger with each subsequent generation."
