(Closest I could find)
The Ferream are a species of semi-humanoid creatures known for their extremely odd facial appearance that looks as if it is one wearing a bird-mask. The Ferream are also very well known for their very strange anatomy. They also display the incredibly odd ability to twist their neck 360 degrees. The Ferream According to the Choir, descended from trees which is evidenced by the strange similarities between their flesh and wood.

Race Bio (personality, etc.): The Ferream are extremely violent and unsympathetic creatures. They display little to no emotional responses to suffering and their behavior reflects the idea that they are indeed incapable of pity. Despite this, the Ferream have a significant drive for knowledge, making them fantastic scientists and philosophers. They also make good entertainers, due to their lack of any emotional attachment to even themselves allowing for picture perfect acting (which really doesn't matter until theater is developed.)
Name of Race: The Illis
Pic/Description:
The Illis are a race of disfigured creatures that are almost genetically identical to humans. Due to their extraordinary disfigurement, they are forced to wear large painted wooden spheres over their head.
Racial Characteristics (things specific to the race): The Illis, unlike the other races, has no practical usage outside basic tasks such as hard labor tasks. As previously mentioned, the Illis are forced to cover their heads as their facial disfigurement displeases their overlords.
Race Bio (personality, etc.): The Illis are an unfortunate species, lacking both the capacity to think or feel. They are given tasks to do by their overlords and they attempt to perform said action. They are unable to think beyond basic instruction, and have little to no emotional reaction to anything. The Illis are not capable of such things. In the mind of one of the Illis, all that exists is survival and instruction.
