Description
The Majini (or christmas tree demons, colloquially) are a nocturnal species of demon that reside in the Okavango Delta in Africa.

They range in size from six to ten feet when fully grown, with the larger specimens usually being older than the smaller. An exact size is hard to determine, as their form can change to suit their needs.
Their bodies are made of a gelatinous material with no internal structures, and they do not seem to posses any internal or external organs. It is hard to say if their body sustains any permanent damage, or if they are capable of replacing damaged areas with healthy tissue.

Aside from their body, their 'face' is a rather striking feature. It is mask-like in appearance, and does not seem capable of moving or changing it's shape like the rest of their body. The basic structure seems to be similar in all of them, and only small details vary from individual to individual. At it's most basic form, these 'faces' are smooth ovals, made of a harder substance than the rest of their body. The 'face' is made from two circular holes, with an elongated oval for a mouth. There does not seem to be anything behind these 'masks' aside from the substance that makes up the rest of their body.

While they are capable of communicating verbally (despite lacking a mouth or vocal cords), their natural means of communication is purely non-verbal. Within their body there seem to be small areas that are differently colored than the rest of their bodies, and resemble small sparks. It is unknown what they actually are, but they are able to control the brightness of these 'sparks'. The speed, brightness, and location of these small flashes seem to make up a visual language that is easily visible in the dark across a decent distance.

In demeanor they are relatively reclusive, being hard to find despite their bright coloring. Only one or two are seen at a time usually, and they are quick to blend into their surroundings at the slightest hint of danger.
Once engaged in conversation, however, these demons seem to be completely absorbed. Their curiosity to know everything seems to override their sense of threats, and they will do what they must to obtain the information they seek.

They share an interesting symbiosis with the peoples surrounding them, as well as some from father off. They are seen as spirits of the dead, from which useful advice is sought. A payment of sort is given, equal in value to the advice or information sought. These payments can range from simple trinkets to the life of the one who sought their assistance. What is done with these items is as of yet unknown, as they seem reluctant to divulge much about the inner workings of their society. While most of the people who come are from the surrounding areas, people from around the world have been seen seeking guidance as well.

Though much of their society and culture is a mystery, there seems to be some of internal hierarchy based off of their physical appearance. The color of the sparks varies in the individual, and there seems to be a spectrum of sorts based off of the colors and relative rarity of the colors. The most common seems to be a reddish hue, followed by orange and yellow, with blue and white being the most rare. Other physical variations (such as different 'mask' color or shape) factor in to this social hierarchy.

There do not seem to be any difference physically between the different genders, in fact, there is no sign that there are any genders among them at all. Their method of reproduction is a mystery, it is hard to tell if any new specimens are newly born or just have not yet been seen.
