Thus reports the book Myths of Naul about the Beastchangers:

 

76.11

And that's how Lükasëli came into being - the image in Gods minds that Tildo and Vasë dream of, and which will be over time, is already close. And yet they are not, because they were supposed to be more than that, and from ancient times they were given the opportunity to transform into an animal and change back.

76.12

For this is right and perfection, however the future has shown, for the heart and the mind have always had more weight than the hand and the mantle.

76.13

Their first form was animal, and yet somewhat different, perhaps wilder, sometimes more magnificent; and they were bears, wolves and cougars, sheep, horses and goats, they were also small, just like a mouse or a cat.

76.14

Their second form was new to Naul, as they took on the appearance of later Feofees, dwarves, and humans.

76.15

Such were Tildo or Vasë and their Alnë often in their forms.

76.16

But none of the forms are real, they are different from the Sëli ancient and later animals, and they are also different from those races that are now in the world, although often unrecognizable.

76.17

Lükasëli never came from the form of fish, or even from fowlers, and they were never like the vermin, or the reptiles, frogs or moles, legumes, whales, dolphins, and many others.

76.18

In the beginning, seventy-seven mothers were created, one from each, and their womb was fruitful and sacred. It was sprinkled with the seed of animals and Tildo and Vasë to give the lives of many generations of the family as a mother.

***

This way are their tribes divided, which have spread to all parts of Naul, and have prospered well, better, but also very miserably, until some have disappeared. According to the old rules given by Mïrondë, they are also divided into the appropriate elements.
