The Belsang is a fearsome and enigmatic creature that roams the depths of the forest, standing at approximately 6 feet tall with a powerful and muscular bipedal frame covered in deep purple scales. Their salamander-like head, adorned with long pointed ears and glowing yellow eyes, adds an otherworldly aspect to their striking appearance, capturing the essence of the primal wilderness they inhabit.

One of the most striking features of the Belsang is their vibrant coloration—a unique combination of purple and green fur adorning specific body parts, enhancing their natural camouflage amidst the dense forest vegetation. This visual attire aids them in blending seamlessly with their woodland surroundings, making them stealthy and efficient hunters in the shadows of the forest.

Crowning their head is a magnificent purple spike head fan towering at 18 inches, serving as both an intimidating display to ward off threats and a striking feature of their identity. The fan’s expansion and retraction reflect the Belsang’s emotional state, showcasing their mood or signaling their excitement or agitation in various encounters.

Highly skilled woodworkers, the Belsang possess unparalleled dexterity and craftsmanship in manipulating wood to create exquisite tools, constructions, bows, arrows, and intricate carvings that depict their deep forest lore. They prefer a reclusive existence deep within the heart of the forest, crafting elaborate shelters and intricate walkways amongst ancient trees where they celebrate their artistry, exchanging stories and rituals in their unique language.
