Bunbii are smart, strong-willed creatures. They have a rigid social system and build gathering places like towns, cities, schools, and businesses. | Pronounce: Bun-Bee | Intelligence: Human-like | ♫
AnatomyBunbii have two sets of arms and can tuck one pair behind their back or under their stretchy neck ruff. They can puff up this neck ruff to release a powder stored in their fur as a defense mechanism, which if inhaled by another species can produce varying effects.
Bunbii can have a variety of fur types. Most commonly it is dense, soft fur that is comparable to a chinchilla or mini rex rabbit that offers good temperature regulation. They grow and shed a seasonal coat that can have a different color scheme to their regular coat, but with the same patterns. The average height of worker-types is 3 feet, with royal, knight and monk-type bunbii growing up to 8 feet. |

Originally, there were 3 classes of bunbii that had distinct features and abilities. Over time, as their civilization became less segregated, certain features were no longer unique to specific classes. Many bunbii still take pride in their family lines, abilities, and features, however.
Worker // Bunbii Rugged, stocky bunbii with short bee-like features. Known for their small size, tirelessness and comparatively massive physical strength. Warrior // Wasbii Lithe, sharp bunbii with wasp or dragonfly like features known for their speed, combat, and flight agility. In times of war they are the dogfighters of the sky, in more peaceful times they often serve as messengers. Royal // Mothbii Elegant, tall bunbii with moth-like features. Typically possess a higher affinity for practicing magic than the other classes. |

Baby Bunbii
An infant bunbii is a Grubii, and a toddler is a Babii. Grubii are cared for in the royal nursery - each bunbii city has its own. Grubii are known to be very cranky - their small bodies are constantly sore from all the growing they have to do! They are kept in their own individual honeycomb cells in the nursery and fed a steady diet of special honey. The honey gives them everything they need to grow, and the cells provide a constant hug which soothes the cranky grubii's soreness.
Bunbii can sign up to be parents by applying to recieve a baby. When grubii grow into Babii, they are delivered to parents by a squadron of trained bunbii called STORC - Special Taskforce of Responsible Caretakers. They are tasked with delivering the baby to the parents, providing them with all the info and supplies they need to raise the babii, and checking up periodically on the new family and how the babii is growing. |
