Flaremole

Of all the original mammals of Tyrrha, the Flaremole is one of the more human-bound species.

Growing as large as the now-extinct grey bears, Flaremoles live deep in the mountains of the Peaks of Light in Northern Calinthia. Its name tells a story on its own. Born with blind eyes, a fluorescent, adhesive matter named 'darksalt' determines its way of navigating the mountains' depth. This slimy and obnoxious-smelling substance helps the Flaremole navigate as it digs through stone with enormous, three-fingered claws. The Hadaki discovery of the darksalt trails paved the path for various mining expeditions and, ultimately, a deeper and more existential relationship between the Hadaki and the Flaremole. As the Flaremole is strongly attracted to the scent of certain minerals, the Hadaki expertise largely depends on the Flaremole's qualities. Extraction of the darksalt substance and using the essence for deep navigation is one of the critical reasons for the unrivalled Hadakian technological advancement. Darksalt is used as a marker tool and applied in producing Hadakian suit armors.
