Records of Magnus and their origins have been vague from the very beginning, the oldest records state that Magnus were created by the Goddess Aquila during the end of the Old War. When the Tree of Life was fragmented to save Ethia from its invaders, the Magnus sprang from the life energies of the broken splinters or so the records say. Magnus were born from the very land of Ethia itself, and this would explain why all of them exist as terrestrial creatures despite what convention would say.
The Moota is one such creature that baffles our scholars, with what seems to be a tail fin at its lower end and other piscine like feature around its body. The Moota exists exclusively on land despite this, and does not even venture close to water, consuming land vegetation for sustenance. The only thing that links them to water are the projectiles that they can conjure, deadly icicles that pierce through armor. This has caused scholars to speculate if the form of the magnus is simply elemental expression given life.
The Mootas of Vokka Island have considerable strength and aptitude in magic, but they generally don’t attack and remain passive towards goblins and newcomers. Speaking to the local people, Mootas provide a bounty of nutritious milk and tales of the most delicious Golden Milk certainly brings roaring jubilation to the crowd. It is nice to see Goblins, Humans and Magnus coexisting and being merry, it is certainly a nice diversion from the other ferocious and dangerous magnus.
