 Centinels have skeletons, muscles, nerves, organs, and blood.
-Most centinels have blunt, square teeth- seafarer morphs have baleen instead. Herbivorous naturally, though many are omnivorous leaning due to horror mutation. Seafarer morph centinels subsist primarily on krill.

 They have high energy levels and regular physical activity is highly recommended.

 They have simple ears and black eyes.
-Centinels lack thumbs, but they are perfectly capable of picking up most objects and tools providing they are made of a material compatible with their psychic abilities. Special (removable) horseshoes are made to help make any objects able to be held, and can help function as more precise hands.

 Due to their ability to attach any of their hooves to surfaces their psychic abilities are compatible with, centinels are capable of scaling even vertical surfaces so long as the material is suitable and their abilities are strong enough.

 Centinels have a strange reproductive process that culminates in the external formation of an egg, with no limit as to how many parents contributed. These eggs are not limited in clutch size, though it is tradition to only raise one egg max at a time per parent, to avoid any offspring being neglected.
-These children are referred to as calves and hatch after a half year incubation. Centinel calves are very wobbly on their feet and difficult to keep track of if left unattended and are prone to getting into sticky situations (sometimes literally) with their growing psychic abilities.

 Centinel families are quite large and are often structured with no regard to species or blood ties, with people coming and going as needed.

 ===Steed===
-The steed morph is based on horses. They range from 7'6"-9'6" at their adult height. They have long manes, tails, thick legs, solid hooves, and their plaid pattern on their manes and tails. Sometimes additionally on their markings. They are associated with Fallow's Island.
+The steed morph is based on horses. They range from 7'6"-9'6" at their adult height. They have long manes, tails, thick legs, solid hooves, and their stationary plaid pattern on their manes and tails. Sometimes additionally on their markings. They are associated with Fallow's Island. Steed morph centinels can gradually form an intimate psychic bond with another individual, be they centinel or another species, often a sibling, partner, or incredibly close friend. This bond offers the communication of intention, and sometimes surface-level thoughts, between the centinel and the bonded individual, and these pairs tend to make incredibly effective teams.
+??? variant steed centinels are based on kelpies and are a semi-aquatic form of steed centinel. They are notable for secreting a sticky mucus-like fluid that makes them appear wet; especially coating their long, stringy mane and tail which are composed of seaweed. These secretions can be reduced with targeted medical treatments. Additionally, they have fin-shaped ears, fangs that protrude from their mouths, and flippers in place of the morph's usual hoof hands. As opposed to most centinels the ??? variant is omnivorous by nature.
+??? variants have a unique effect on their bonded individual, with their communication coupled with hallucinations of a physical, auditory, or sometimes visual nature; such as the sensation of being hugged. These sensations are both mood-dependent and sent subconsciously, and few ??? variant centinels have managed to develop control of this odd quirk.
+Spell variant steed centinels are based on unicorns.

 ===Shear===
-The shear morph is based on alpaca and sheep. They range from 4'6"-6'6" at their adult height. They have wool around their shoulders, neck, and head, as well as down their back. They have tapered legs, solid hooves, their plaid pattern on their wool, and prominent eyelashes when they are present. They are associated with Taverne.
+The shear morph is based on alpaca, llama, and sheep. They range from 4'6"-6'6" at their adult height. They have wool around their shoulders, neck, and head, as well as down their back. They have tapered legs, solid hooves, a stationary plaid pattern on their wool, and prominent eyelashes when they are present. They are associated with Taverne. Shear morph centinels emit a low-range psychic aura from their wool, this aura influences the moods of those in close proximity or contact with the wool. When the wool is attached to the centinel, this aura directly reflects the centinels current mood, meaning that cuddling or hugging a shear morph centinel can offer incredible mood-boosting effects if the centinel is in a good mood. However, upon shearing, the mood the aura projects will be "locked" to whatever mood the shear morph centinel is in upon shearing. Items then made from this sheared wool will retain the aura indefinitely, meaning a centinel wool sweater may offer a psychic boost when worn or a centinel wool blanket may offer a relaxing, soothing aura that helps the user sleep.

 ===Steer===
-The steer morph is based on cows and bulls. They range from 6'6"-8'6" at their adult height. They have a short mane and tail, thick legs, solid hooves, and their plaid pattern on their often piebald markings. They can sometimes have large horns on the sides of their heads. They are associated with Luxson.

They are associated with Luxson. Steer morph centinels often have the psychic ability to imbue food they prepare with healing properties far beyond their nutritional benefit of being food items. The effects of steer-prepared food have been closely studied, and individuals who regularly consume steer-prepared meals have stronger bones, more developed muscles, and improved mental health when compared to those who do not regularly or rarely consume steer-prepared meals. Though it is of note that steer centinel meals cannot cure illness miraculously, only encourage healing to a greater degree than normal food.

 ===Swine===
-The swine morph is based on pigs and boars. They range from 4'-6' at their adult height. They have a curly mane and tail, thick legs, cloven hooves, and their plaid pattern on their mane and markings. They can sometimes have thick tusks at the corner of their mouth. They are associated with Luxson.

They are associated with Luxson. Swine centinels often have the ability of contact-based telepathy. This power is limited to face-to-face physical contact with another individual, meaning a swine morph centinel can learn a great deal from a simple nose kiss. Nose kisses are incredibly common in swine centinel communities due to this ability and are considered one of the greatest ways of showing affection.

 ===Stag===
-The stag morph is based on deer, elk, moose, reindeer, and other cervidae. They range from 6'-8' at their adult height. They have large, impressive antlers which can take a wide variety of shapes, a short mane, a bob tail, thin, tapered legs, solid hooves, and their plaid pattern on their markings. They are associated with Monte.

They are associated with Monte. Stag morph centinels often have the psychic ability to detect and sense the surface-level intentions of individuals around them, and can sometimes identify them from these clues. While this is nowhere near true mind-reading, some stag centinels have honed their powers of deduction, and use this ability to great effect.

 ===Stilt===
-The stilt morph is based on giraffes and other savanna ungulates. They range from 10'-12' at their adult height. They have horns which can take a variety of shapes, a short mane and tail, thin, tapered legs, solid hooves, and their plaid pattern on their markings. They are associated with somewhere in morbit.
+The stilt morph is based on giraffes. They range from 10'-12' at their adult height. They have small knobby horns, a short mane and tail, thin, tapered legs, solid hooves, and their stationary plaid pattern on their markings. They are associated with the zone of Wonder in Taverne. Stilt centinels have the psychic ability to locate things. Mostly this manifests in the ability to find bodies of water, be they above ground or below, but some have developed this power into a tool that they can use to locate personal items, natural resources, or locations they have been before.

 ===Seafarer===
-The seafarer morph is based on cetaceans. They range from 8'-10' at their adult height. They have a tail fluke with two large paddles, thick legs, large flippers instead of hooves, and their plaid pattern on their markings. Seafarer morphs are naturally carnivorous and have baleen in the place of teeth. They are the only amphibious centinel morph and often return to the sea to eat, otherwise requiring the import or purchase of fish and krill to satisfy their dietary needs. They are associated with the seas surrounding Luxson.
+The seafarer morph is based on cetaceans and Sirenia. They range from 8'-10' at their adult height. They have a tail fluke with two large paddles, thick legs, large flippers instead of hooves, and their stationary plaid pattern on their markings or underbelly. Seafarer morphs are either carnivorous or herbivorous, depending on their variant. Some have baleen, some have sharp teeth, and others have crushing, grinding tooth plates. They are the only amphibious centinel morph and often return to the sea to eat, otherwise requiring the import or purchase of fish, krill, algae, and kelp to satisfy their dietary needs. They are associated with the seas surrounding Luxson. Seafarer morph centinels have the psychic ability to navigate by the stars at sea, their powers reaching out into the cosmos, orienting them where they wish to go.
+Siren variant seafarer centinels are based on manatees and favor warmer, shallow waters, and can often be found in tropical or subtropical environments. A large population has recently settled in the coastal swamps of Hoopla. Siren centinels have the ability to use their wayfinding powers to locate both aquatic and terrestrial plants, especially those that they find particularly tasty. There is no hiding a good snack from a siren centinel.
+Spearhead variant seafarer centinels are based on narwhals and favor deep, icy waters, and their long, strong horn, which is truly a tooth, aids in breaking through ice sheets when they need to surface. Their horns also give direct focus to the seafarer wayfinding abilities and allow spearhead centinels to focus on objects, people, or locations directly instead of merely navigating by their powers. This however comes at an incredibly reduced range in comparison to other seafarer centinels.
+Swoon variant seafarer centinels are based on river dolphins and favor warm, shallow freshwater and tend to settle in rivers in warmer climates. Their most notable feature is their long thin snout. Swoon centinel have the ability to find connections between others, be they platonic or romantic, and some act on this ability, performing the role of a matchmaker or simply introducing people who can become good friends.
+Signal variant seafarer centinels are based on belugas and favor ice-cold water. They are characterized by their large squishy melon. This melon not only enables them to echolocate but also greatly amplifies their psychic powers, allowing them to "scry" information over vast distances. Signal centinels often form networks across multiple settlements, allowing many disparate centinel populations to keep in touch even in the absence of technology.
