Dokkaebi (Didelphanthrops coreanica; Korean: 도깨비) are humanoid eutherians and a mythical creature introduced in Worldcraft: Dawdled.

Etymology

Unknown origin is considered a native word in Middle Korean 돗〮가비〮 (Yale: twóskàpí).

Physical Appearance

Dokkaebis are descendants of Juramaia, an eutherian from China to Korea that evolved into a humanoid with goblin-like features. Their skins are based on the ethnic groups; depending on the biomes, they have reddish skin and black or brown hair on tropical, subtropical, and temperate biomes, while some of those ethnic groups in the desert and savanna biomes have pale reddish skin and brownish black hair; in cold regions, they have dark red and white hair, unlike the other two of them.


Dokkaebi have plantigrade legs, including claws, pointed ears, small fangs on the lips, brownish lips, thick eyebrows, and sexual dimorphism like humans as a result of convergent evolution. Dokkaebi is made of fire and ice, including arcane magic, and is immune from attacks from fire.

Abilities

Dokkaebis are troublemakers and wisely trickster marsupials that used fire, electric, ice, or arcane magic for aesthetics, props, decorations, trolling people, and others, or as bait that considered Dokkaebi nearby.


Dokkaebi was very adapted in Air Coral Reefs in Korea to Colombia, as a result of turning into invisible because of their silver hairs on the epidermis and causing invisibility by natural means, doesn't seem to us. Dokkaebi's magical skills are very creative and are formed in the form of projectiles like propeller fans, disks, circular-shaped, or sniper rifle bullets, which are very deadly weapons.


Dokkaebis are actually tool-makers and more advanced than us and elves, due to keeping their secrets over the years and having their own specific items made by this species. Dokkaebi possess magical items, such as the Dokkaebi Hat called the dokkaebi gamtu (도깨비 감투), which grants the wearer the ability of invisibility, and the dokkaebi magic club called the dokkaebi bangmangi (도깨비 방망이), which can summon things and act functionally as a magic wand. Dokkaebi like buckwheat jelly, sorghum, and red bean rice cakes, mashed sorghum, and the drinks. So in dokkaebi gosa (도깨비 고사), there are foods that dokkaebi like.

Weaknesses

Dokkaebis are very afraid of the blood of rhinoceros, horses, tapirs, and extinct relatives being repelled by Koreans or international people as a repellant.
