Overview
The Alibaas are the oldest sentient race on Disparatus, having lived there long before the arrival of Humans and Thuwadians. They appear somewhat humanoid in structure, but like Thuwadians, the similiarities end there. As with Thuwadians often being compared to lizards, many compare Alibaas to bats. Their most prominent features are their somewhat sensitive large ears, and the wings that are part of their arms, connected to the sides of their torso, allowing them to fly short distances. Alibaas skin are shades ranging from deep brown to a sandy grey, and their bodies are hairier than that of humans, but not as much as that of something like a Werewolf.
Many Alibaas are frugivores, fruit-eaters, although some tribes of Alibaas have evolved as more carnivorous beings (Mainly those from the most southern regions of the nation). The biology of non-carnivore Alibaas does not outright reject the eating of meat, but their bodies have more trouble processing it than their carnivorous cousins.
As far back as documented history accounts, different tribes of Alibaas were often at war with each other, mostly over territory and food. This persisted for many years after the arrival of Humans and Thuwadians, but the Alibaas slowly began to become more united over the past 1,000 or so years. In the present, Alibaas warring is substantially less than it had once been, but not quite nonexistant.
The Alibaas race is well known for its skill in Enchantment, and are quite possibly the original creators of the craft. Some races of Earth were also known to use the craft long before first contact between Disparatus and Earth, although this is considered by most to be a coincidental discovery of the same ability. It does, however, complicate matters in determining who first discovered the ability.
(Note that the race image is outdated and will be updated. Most are more hunched forward with more toned upper bodies.)
