The original idea behind the small creatures who live in the forest is that they are the natural denizens of the planet. They live in the forest and act more or less like the guardians (as you'll see later on in the story). Their language is based on ancient Celtic runes used by the Druids known as Ogham. When you see their language written out in word bubbles, it is actually modern Gaelic Irish translated into Ogham.
I never had a real height for them. I just knew I wanted them to be smaller than the Asteroider, and that the Implings would be below the knee.
There is a degree of magic that they possess, it is very related to the plants and foliage that can be found on the planet. How it works and how far it can go has yet to be seen.
One specific example is the turning of the Asteroider's gun into leaves of some sort. The standard issue Pulse Laser Pistol is used by all explorers on 1st person probe missions. It has enough plasma based fire power to melt through 6 inches of High Grade Steel without overheating. Each pistol is tuned to its owner and cannot be fired by another with a different digital organic/digital signature without high criminal grade hacking.
While the gun itself is no longer featured, it's energy still remains on the planet. Who knows how it will affect the natural life already existing on the planet.
(Looks like I accidentally saved over page 28, but I will update it later today if not tomorrow.)
