{Nortia} Lightlice
Lightlice are members of the rodentia family, living exclusively on the southwestern edges of Nortia. They have adapted to the expansive cave systems, being quite small and nimble. Their name comes from them usually being viewed as pests and the crystals that protrude out of their backs. These crystals can vary in colour, usually a yellowish-green or a light blue. Lightlice crystals are components in alchemy and magic.
Female lightlice do not have these crystals, and are larger than the males. They keep to the dark and are highly aggressive. It's advised to keep your distance from large lightlice that have no crystal protrusions.
Male lightlice are small, along with the additions of the crystals that are highly sought after. They are docile and make for better pets. Males will try to impress the females with their singing abilities. Sometimes, males will come together and form a 'band'. If the female is impressed with the performance, the lead will leave to mate.
Lightlice have been hunted for their magical components, pushing them deeper into the caves and out of more populated areas. They can be kept as exotic pets, usually only for mages and alchemists, for their crystals do eventually regrow.
All in all, they're just silly little guys. :)
