   "full": "Glasslings are delicate, translucent shapeshifters that rely on refraction and illusion rather than physical transformation. Their bodies bend light to mimic individuals, animals, or environments. Found in Irudy’s crystal caverns and Siniath’s coastal grottoes, they are not predators, but enigmatic reflections of the world around them. Their presence unsettles or inspires depending on one’s beliefs, appearing as statues, mirages, or mournful shades by the sea."
