Mannikins

(MAN-ih-kins)

Enigmas of the Inanimae, who are enigmatic to even the strange Kithain, mannikins inhabit things that resemble the form of man. Among the most outgoing Inanimae, the mannikins are the ones most to be found trying to fit in among the meat changelings and mortals, but never quite being able to. Mannikins are almost entirely Krofted, except for some rare ones that inhabit natural formations in human shape. Alone among the Inanimae, mannikins may learn the Arts of the Kithain in addition to the Slivers of the Inanimae. They also understand all of the elemental tongues of the other Inanimae, though they speak none. Mannikins have no Sliver of their own though, and may never completely master any Art or Sliver.
