Hylic

Hylics are the most common sophonts in Fathom.

Biology
Hylics are almost always roughly humanoid in shape, bearing two arms, two legs, and a head. The skin varies significantly in color - fully across the rainbow - and in texture. Hylic skin is their most regular trait - all known hylics are split into five types of skin, being patterned in stripes, craters, scales, spots, or clear skin. Hylic heads also vary significantly on an individual basis. Hylics are born with soft and malleable heads that gain shape throughout their first few months, partially genetic and partially random mutations. In some societies, newborns' heads are shaped into forms considered pleasing or useful.
