​
Almarik is a young Spheroid Walldryx and he lives in the Kastell region with a group of Spheroid Walldryx. These species of Walldryx have a unique feature. They have a sphere on their tail. And these Spheres serve them a lot when they go on a mission and also to fight or play petanque , the favorite activity of these Walldryx. These Spheres are part of their second life.
Almarik is 16 years old but unfortunately for him, he does not yet have the opportunity to participate in certain events reserved for adults and also to obtain certain more rare and useful Spheres.
These Walldryx regularly participate in tournaments and also in dungeon excursions to increase their skills.
​
Almarik to one particularity, since his birth, he has had a big tooth in the middle of his mouth. He receives a lot of teasing and criticism for his physically misleading. It is compared to a rodent.
However, his big tooth will be a beneficial asset, especially in combat. Its bite power is far superior to that of other Spheroid Walldryx. He also considers this tooth as a lucky charm.
Almarik is someone who has a lot of self-confidence who likes to take up challenges, who doesn't give up and likes to help his loved ones in case of difficulties. He is a boy who has a big heart and who always gives the best of himself with great seriousness. He wants to become the best Spheroid Walldryx in his clan and be part of the elite. He trains a lot, especially to master the spheres of power. He has many dreams and desires. However, he tends to boast a little too much and expresses an excess of pride when he successfully completes an assignment. He makes movies in his head when he senses a great opportunity in his favor. But sometimes the situation can turn against him and it's the backlash. Almarik must be more vigilant and attentive.

The Spheres of Power

The Spheres of Power are Battle Items and it's an idea that came to me in November 2011 in another project. There are different Spheres that can make Walldryx Spheroid powerful in combat. There are Spheres which can give the power to master certain elements like fire, wind, lightning, ice, water etc. Others can be used to boost their skills, attack, speed, stamina, defense etc.
And special spheres to use on yourself to get bonuses ( Giant, Invisible, Invulnerability, Healing, Resurrection, Teleportation etc)
And there is the opposite case to use the adversary (and not recommended on oneself) which can destabilize him like (Cursed, Paralysis, confusion, Hallucination, Slowness, Drowsiness, Tiny, Possession etc) and many more! All these spheres can go up to the next level in order to benefit from their effects and their skills. (*see under conditions)
​
Of course, the effects of the spheres of power have a limited duration. Some spheres can be very useful for solving puzzles in dungeons or castles!
If a Spheroid Walldryx doesn't have its main sphere on it, it doesn't matter, it can fight bare-handed, but it won't be able to use any Spheres of Power.
Normally, Spheroids Walldryx do not keep their Spheres all the time. They only wear when they go on an adventure, to do certain activities and especially to fight.

Anecdote
​
To make the Walldryx Spherical design, I based myself on an old design of a character from 2008.

The Spheres of Power are objects that date from 2011 in another project. The rebirth of these objects as well as the idea of a Walldryx based on a Sphere came to me on April 8, 2022 when the 1 p.m. news on TF1 after they made a subject on the Bac test on petanque .
