A bizarre cross-breeding of an owl and a cat, the Owlcat retains characteristics of both species. Winged and feathered like an owl, but playful and cuddly like a cat, the creature was a smash hit for the Cristix corporation's designer pet division. Hundreds of thousands of Owlcats were sold, and today large societies of Owlcat aficionados exist online and elsewhere.

Flugwurt

Flugwurts are an extremely mirthful race. As a people they had long ago abandoned organized warfare. Disputes on their planet are resolved in a "war" of extremely elaborate practical jokes, where leaders of individual nation states repeatedly attempt to outdo each other. Limits had to be imposed after the prime minister of one impoverished nation nearly created ecological chaos when he attempted to harvest the polar ice caps to create a gargantuan banana cream pie, the impact of which would have thrown the planet off it's orbit. Thus a historic treaty limiting J.O.M.D. (jokes of mass destruction) was enacted. Flugwurts tend to find employment as actors, joke writers, talk show hosts, and stand up comedians.

Scarabide

Scarabides are a race of beetle-like humanoids. They possess brightly colored (and extremely durable) exoskeletons that can withstand high caliber bullets. Unlike other insect species there is no rigid social hierarchy, no caste systems, or queens. Each Scarabide is an individual unto himself, so much so that they are inherently distrustful of all outsiders, even members of their own species.

Asurgnyha

The Asurghyha are a sect of demons devoted to a strict religious/philosophical ideology. When a member joins the sect dark rituals are performed to invoke forbidden magics. The neophyte's body is literally turned inside out, and reformed into a spider-like visage. The Asurghyha then take a ten thousand year vow of silence, during which they complete their mystical training. They are generally neutral during the many conflicts that ravage through the Hell dimensions, although they will defend themselves if provoked.
