Dokkaebi

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

• Singular: Dokkaebi

• Plural: Dokkaebi, Dokkaebis

Dokkaebis are descended from Juramaia, an eutherian that lived in China and Korea before evolving into a goblin-like humanoid. Their skin types vary depending on the biomes; in tropical, subtropical, and temperate regions, they have reddish skin and black or brown hair; in desert and savanna biomes, some of those ethnic groups have pale reddish skin and brownish black hair; in cold climates, they have dark red and white hair, in contrast to the other two. The female Dokkaebi was slender but athletic, with shorter tusks, longer hair, sharper eyes and cheek structures, and slightly brighter plasma coloring. In the past, the male Dokkaebi had short to moderate hairstyles, heavier jaws and tusk-like fangs, broader shoulders, and a more muscular frame.

Many Dokkaebis have own genes are actually called Dokkaebi's Heritability, this alleles are what actually Dokkaebi's skin color be like. As the Dokkaebi's Heritability percentage was depending on skin color as humans too, but not. The highest percentage of Dokkaebi's Heritability is red, followed by yellow, brown, tan, dandelion, green, blue, black, white, gray, and even purple. The albinism of this species was 1 out of 100,000 individuals to breed.

The Dokkaebi's Heritability doesn't affect the hair, eyelashes, eyeliners, teeth, nails, and iris eyes. As well as fire and arcane magic color was not affected by this special allele. If you breed a Dokkaebi either red or any color, the offspring produced either red, mixed, or any color of the respective parent.

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.

If only for Korean holidays, Dokkaebi wore traditional attire that resembled ancient hanboks, warrior robes, coral jewelry, bone ornaments, and animal-hide cloaks from boars, wolves, serows, deer, leopards, and tigers. In order to remain anonymous, modern Dokkaebi frequently choose to wear Korean streetwear, oversized coats, sneakers, techwear aesthetics, slippers, and hooded apparel. In places like Seoul, Busan, Daejeon, Jeju, and Pyongyang, many people hide among others.

Early humans on the Korean Peninsula even had an impact on the Dokkaebi, who use fire for social gatherings, cooking, warmth, and security. Dokkaebi 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.

Because of their body proportions, which imply long-distance running ability, the Dokkaebi possessed endurance running, which is useful for persistent hunting or trapping foes or cunning people. Because Korea is a temperate country, Dokkaebi, like humans, have lived in a variety of temperatures, including African savannas, temperate woods, Asian tropics, and freezing parts of Siberia.

Tools

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.

• dokkaebi gamtu—A kind of gat, or Korean hat, worn by human males along with hanbok (Korean traditional clothing) during the Joseon period.

• dokkaebi bangmangi—A kind of wooden club at first, inside the weapon contains a strange gem stored with magical energy that either summons things or acts functionally as a fire lance that acts like a flamethrower and shotgun that also ejects psycho-energetic shrapnel or pellets.

• dokkaebi gosa—The own cuisine made by these marsupials, which is their favorite food, and they disliked humans.

Hongmaek Energy

The Hongmaek Core is a bioenergetic organ found in Dokkaebi. Goblin's Plasma, a hybrid energy that combines thermal energy, electromagnetic discharge, arcane radiation, bioluminescent particles, and even magic, is produced by this organ. The plasma is seen as blue-edged, flaming orange-red energy.

• Constructs: They can solidify plasma into crushing weights, blades, throwing discs, and whips for combat.

• Protection: Capable of generating shields, bubbles, and domes that can withstand high-impact kinetic force.

• Restraint: Using chains, cuffs, and shackles made of plasma to tether or immobilize enemies.

• Utility: For travel, they create platforms, ramps, or stepping stones that allow for rapid vertical movement through forest canopies.

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

• Wildfire: Since Goblin's Plasm constructs can put out fires.

The Dokkaebi can hunt and scavenge. In the past, they were skilled hunters who pursued medium to large animals (antelope, horses, tigers, leopards, deer, serows, sea lions, or even mammoths) using coordinated group tactics. Along with gathering or cultivating berries, vegetables, roots like ginseng, and seeds for farming or herbal remedies, they also scavenged and processed carcasses using techniques connected to materials. Ecosystems will be purposefully shaped by the Dokkaebi through the employment of tools, fire, hunting pressure, and sorcery. The Dokkaebi's primary predators were tigers, hyenas, and eagles. However, humans (Koreans) eventually rose to the top of the predator hierarchy in Korea, and we both engaged in conflict or trickery. These days, habitat destruction, Abstergo testing, threats from Templar Knight and the Assassin Order, illegal trafficking, and anti-monster militias pose the biggest risks to them.

Dokkaebi were armed with a variety of human-derived tools and weaponry from the Joseon period to the present day on the Korean peninsula. The majority of Dokkaebi's weapons are wooden clubs called dokkaebi bangmangi, which serve the same purpose as a hammer or war club but have the ability to call forth items. Knives, daggers, hairpins, swords, halberds, tridents, muskets, fire lances, hand cannons, explosives, pickaxes, slings, and—most strange of all—tteok are examples of non-club weaponry. In Korea, ttoek, a rice cake, is a favorite among humans, dokkaebi, and kumiho.

Reproduction

Their reproduction is mammalian but unusually ancient in structure. Their traits:

• Live birth

• Usually one child or more

• Long parental care

• Strong family bonds

• Rapid juvenile climbing ability

• Infants cling to the mother similarly to marsupials despite lacking a true pouch.

Human–Dokkaebi hybrids are rare but fertile.

The Dokkaebi exhibited social behavior, including cooperative hunting and foraging as well as potential age and sex-based work division. The Dokkaebi use fire and social life. By controlling fire, they were able to cook and assemble at night, which strengthened group ties. They also told stories orally to humans and other Dokkaebi.

Dokkaebi are divided into two sides: those who are dishonest and lack discipline, and those who are very intellectual and trustworthy as partners with the All-Powerful God. In Korean culture and legend, Dokkaebi are known for being cunning and troublemakers. This is shown in a variety of media and television shows.

In the past, Dokkaebi were seen by Korean villagers as helpers, tricksters, wilderness spirits, family guardians, and punishers of dishonest nobility. The majority of Dokkaebi are not evil, in contrast to demons. Farmers, children, travelers, monks, and members of the royal family were frequently assisted. However, if they hurt innocent people, they attacked slave dealers, bandits, and invaders. They are passionate about ssireum (Korean wrestling) and are often depicted as foolish, allowing clever humans to outsmart them.

Unfortunately for us, the Dokkaebi was not a domesticable species but rather a wild, intelligent old mammal because is impossible and inappropriate. They were intelligent, social beings — keeping them as “pets” would be unethical work.

Bereshit (75,000 BCE)

After creating humans and changing all animal species, the Isu implanted artificial neurotransmitters in all animals' brains. This method kills all purebred and natural animal species, even those that appear natural and unmanufactured. The Apples of Eden have mental dominion over all species, including humans, because they can control the brain via their interactions with neurotransmitters..
