Wings[]
The Shandian Tribe's most distinguishing feature is that every member of their race possesses wings. However, the wings of the Tribe are quite useless since they're small and don't provide a plentiful of strength to soar through the skies, but at least the wings are quite flourish, for they are indeed. Since Shandian Wings are incredibly rare to the Blue Sea they are very sought after, they fetch an impressive average price of 1,150,000 or more.

The Shandia were once called Shandorians. They lived on the moon along with the fellow moon races, the Birkans and Skypieans. The three races had also built a robotic race called the automata. However, when resources on the moon wore out, the three races had to leave the automata behind as they headed for Earth.

- They may also be inspired by the Sentinelese, a tribe characterized by its technological backwardness and its aggressiveness towards outsiders.
