Quima

The Quima (pronounced “kwee-mah”) are semi-intelligent being that form a symbiotic relationship with the Halfen. It is rare for them to form such a relationship with any other race. Humans often call the symbiotes Fae because (when they are visible) they appear similar to mythological fairies. As with the Halfen, they are the source of most of the mythological references to small fairy folk.

Description

The Quima are from the same planet as the Halfen, and they have journeyed with the Halfen as they expanded across the galaxy. Smaller and less clever than the Halfen, these beings are very useful when scouting new environments, particularly primitive and potentially hostile ones. They have micro-scaled wings, similar to a butterfly's (but with six sections instead of four) and have some ability to camouflage skin and wings to match their surroundings (like a chameleon). While less clever than the Halfen, the Quima have a wicked sense of humor, which they often employ, to the dismay of the Halfen and any others on the receiving end of their jokes.
