Other types of Mawmaw
As you might have noticed, there are many different types of Mawmaw who live on Mesaya. There are the Natural Mawmaw, the Royals, the Ascended, the Mutants, and even the dormant Reverent may make an appearance. But do you know the key differences between these types, or that there are even some Mawmaws with different sub-types? This guide will explain the differences between each of the types below!
Bound/Unbound Mawmaws
Bound and Unbound Mawmaws are not naturally occurring, but rather they are created by Mawmaws to act as a minion or companion of sorts. Bound and Unbound Mawmaws are manifested by their creator's magic and are generally tied to them through this. These Mawmaw are Bound to their creator. Stronger versions of these Created Mawmaws may break away from their masters and display their own will; these are Unbound Mawmaw. Bound and Unbound Mawmaw are easily recognized by their elemental bodies and (usually) lack of a free will.

Mutant Mawmaws
There are three different kinds of Mutant Mawmaws. The first kind being a Mawmaw who was consumed by their element when they were born; or by a power or ability that is unique to them. These mutants are known as Elemental Mutants, and often times they have two different forms; a normal one, and the mutated ones.
The second type of mutant Mawmaw is called a Passive Mutant. These Mutant Mawmaw aren't particularly dangerous or overpowered and they do not have secondary forms, but they do have odd and unique features that cannot be found on any other Mawmaw. The last type of mutant is known as a Warp Mutant, which is a Mawmaw who has been twisted by magic not meant to be used on one's self- this results in an incredible amount of magical power, but twisted body parts, painful crystal growths, and other freakish oddities. |
Natural Mawmaws
Natural Mawmaws are the most abundant type of Mawmaw on Mesaya. They're compact and built for life on the ground- and are easily recognizable by their lack of wings or "blessed" (ascended) traits! Of course, these Mawmaw come in many different shapes and sizes; this is just a general example of them!

Royal Mawmaws
Usually, Royal Mawmaws are recognized as Natural Mawmaws who have been blessed with having 1-2 Ascended Traits. Typically, this means that a Mawmaw has wings, though not all Royal Mawmaw have wings! They don't appear too much differently from Natural Mawmaws aside from this, though- but some people believe that Royal Mawmaws are stronger in their magic, or more gifted in learning their abilities!

Ascended and Ancient Mawmaws
The Ascended Mawmaw are said to be the children of the gods themselves; the Reverent. These Mawmaw have lived for hundreds, if not thousands of years on Mesaya, and live fairly reclusive lives compared to that of the Natural and Royal Mawmaw. Many believe that the Ascended are guardians over the world and the things that make it live. They are easily recognized by their lithe bodies and very unique features.
Ancient Mawmaws are much the same as the ascended Mawmaws of today, but with distinctive features- such as the number of scales on their face. Unlike Ascended Mawmaws, Ancient Mawmaws no longer exist on Mesaya! |
The Reverent
The Reverent are not Mawmaws, but rather great celestial beings who appear somewhat in the form of a Mawmaw if they come into contact with Mesaya. They are primal beings who lay dormant among the stars; and should you meet one of the Reverent in person- it is considered either a great blessing, or a threat of apocalypse. The only known record of Mawmaws interactive with Reverent was during the Great Fall when Mahanaim discovered that Malik had stolen from it's shrine, and cast the Mawmaws from the skies in it's rage.
