The vrinx are in development by Jerry Bowman. As of 2026, the race has not been featured nor mentioned in any projects.
Physical
Vrinx stand bipedal with an average height of 1.35m. The paws and feet are webbed, and the tails are flat. They can live up to 130 years. While their physiology allows them to be natural swimmers, they are semi-aquatic. The do not need to be constantly wet.
Their incisors are large and chisel shaped (with a protective enamel coating), and grow throughout their lives. The vrinx are in habit of gnawing on hard objects to trim them.
