Šedukassi (Ancient Bulwari: Šedu-made/forged) is the name given to several races of beings created using the power of the Wish, either by Djinn or by humans.

Animals[]

Almiraš[]

The Almiraš, also known as Almiraj, were one of the first Šedukassi, resembling a big, yellow rabbit or hare with one single blue horn. Contrary to their rodent cousins, the Almiraš is carnivorous and highly aggressive, acting like a fierce hound. What makes the Almiraš unique is their natural ability to dispel basic magic around them, thanks to their horns, and for their horns the Almiraš were hunted in the Suran Plain, but they can still be found all around Bulwar.

They can be tamed, and Surani mages often have them as pets for prestige and to show their magical prowess, as only strong magi can use their magic without problems with an Almiraš near.

Bašmu[]

The Bašmu, or venomous snake, are horned snakes with two forelegs and wings. They were created by the Šedu who fled to the Harpy Hills after the Brasani Revolt. Thanks to millenia of Gelkar and harpy efforts, they were mostly removed from the Harpy Hills during the Late Petty Kingdoms, but they still inhabit the slopes of the Serpentspine and inhabited parts of the Hills. It is believed that Nikšaru, a monster from antiquity and alleged fallen goddess, was a massive Bašmu.

Chamruš[]

Large dogs with the wings and front legs of an eagle, the Chamruš were created by the Djinn, who wanted a breed of dogs able to thrive in the Elemental Plane of Air. They are unable to speak, but they know the language of the Djinn and possess great intelligence, and are able to follow complex orders. While low in number in the Material Plane, most Bulwari and Sun Elven magi own a Chamruš.

Umu Dabrutu[]

The Umu Dabrutu are winged beasts with the body of a bull, the head of a snake, and the limbs of an eagle. Like the Girtablullu and the Kusarikku, they  were created by the Šedu during the Brasani Revolt. They inhabited the Šad Sur as apex predators, feasting on gnolls, Šadnatu, and other medium to large animals. After the establishment of the Jadd Empire, they were hunted down by adventurers and mostly driven to extinction.

Djinngalu[]

The Djinngalu (Bulwari: Djinn demons) is the name given to several races created by the Djinn by twisting other races, like humans or ogres, using the Wish. While considered demons by the Bulwari of antiquity, some of these races have successfully integrated into human society.

Ašigallu[]

Also known as Djinnbound Ogres, they were created to be used as slaves to the Djinn, primarily tasked with enforcing Djinni rule over the humans of the region, earning them the name of Ašigallu, or man-eater demons. In addition to their servitude, they were magically fortified to be near-impervious to physical effects, however, this made them weak to magic. After defeating the Djinn, the Ašigallu were hunted and killed, with the last ones surviving in the Harpy Hills, until they were exterminated using a magical plague.

Girtablullu[]

Girtablullu, or Scorpion-men, have the head, torso, and arms of a man and the body and tail of a scorpion. They were created by the Šedu during the Brasani Revolt, and were expelled to the desert after the Djinn were defeated. They hate the Bulwari and revere the Djinn, and never attempted to integrate into Bulwari society, preferring the company of the gnolls after the Dissipation.

With the establishment of the Jadd Empire and the conversion and assimilation of the gnolls, the Girtablullu retreated deep into the desert, going into isolation.

Kusarikku[]

Made by the Djinn, the Kusarikku have the arms, torso and head of a human and the ears, horns and hindquarters of a bull. Like other half-human Djinngallu, they were created by using Wish magic on the ancestors of the Bulwari. Considered monsters during antiquity, they survived in the Harpy Hills as warriors for the harpies, and in the island of Annail as temple guardians thanks to Amašuri's intervention.

The most famous Kusarikku are Melišihu, who fought alongside the Jaherian Exemplars in Escann and Taychend, and Šiphak, a member of the company of heroes that fought Nikšaru.

Sibargal[]

Created by Hašahu, the Serpent-king, the Sibargal (Bulwari: Demons made of Bronze), also known as the Bronze Ones, are former Bulwari and Sandmaw Ogres turned into living bronze statues. With an army of Bronze Ones, the Serpent-king fought for almost a century against Castanor and the Damerian Republic, until his death during the Day of Ashen Skies. The Bronze Ones, unable to act without their master, were wiped out, although it is believed that there are vaults filled with Bronze Ones hidden through Bulwar, waiting for their master’ return.
