Carnal species are species that have evolved away from their Sentient ancestors. Although they may still possess some of their magic, they are lacking in free will or conscious thought, and the original technology of the sentient ancestor becomes a mindless ritual for the carnal species. Carnal species are universally looked down on by Sentient ones, and Carnal species that have de-evolved from Michars are looked down upon even worse, as they lose their humanoid form as well. The Bunej is believed to be in the process of slowly becoming carnal, as is evidenced by the occasional ruin of cities made from zinc found in various swamps around the world.
