Beamstalkers are intimidating, feathered, bipedal dragons with a natural scale helm and large saber fangs protruding from their mouth. They come in a variety or golds, oranges, reds, and pinks and have shimmering feathers that resemble sunbeams when spread in their threat display. Beamstalkers without parentage posses many floating orbs of pure magical energy that pulse with light, serving both as a physical manifestation of their magic and signal lights to help them communicate with other "squadrons", or packs, of Beamstalkers across the realm to discuss threats and trespassers. Those born of other Beamstalkers within the realm usually only posses a small handful of orbs, often with the maximum count being four orbs of varying sizes. Squadrons of holy beamstalkers can contain anywhere from eight to thirty members and are usually tight-knit units.

Beamstalkers were born from raw magical energy and holy light, taking shape as celestial beings built for their active guardian and hunter roles, serving as the first line of defense against any who would threaten the holy realm.

Some Beamstalkers, tired of a realm never-changing, dare to seek new hunting grounds, or fighting other squadrons for sport, causing them to be cast from the realm of the holy to roam the mortal and demonic realms.

Fallen Beamstalkers of the realm of mortals live as wild but elusive creatures, appearing in many texts as angelic messengers, living dinosaurs, cryptids, and even gods depending on the regions sighted in. Many born in the realm hold no orbs and their colors become more muted and "earthy" toned, such as deeper, dustier reds, browns, and even greens and faint blues in further generations. These ones are no longer as graceful and holy, much more easily mistaken for larger dromaeosaurids, and causing much stir on whether dinosaurs still roam the dense woods and jungles where these beamstalkers now hide. As generations pass, many earthly beamstalkers now also live in smaller units consisting of up to five or six. Duos of earthly beamstalkers are rare but not unheard of.

Those in the demonic realm inhabit areas densely forested with nightmares and beasts that scare even demons. Many of these beamstalkers hunt demons themselves as a source of food. These beamstalkers are incredibly rare, often being beamstalkers sourcing from the mortal realm rather than the angelic realm. Those that do come from the holy realm directly were cast out for unforgivable crimes and their orbs are most often shattered and greyed, only letting off a faint, yet eerie glow. The golden plumage of those cast out is stained and tarnished by inky colors and coated in an oilslick sheen. It is often held drooping as though weighed down by their actions.

Those born to the demonic realm are often blacks, greys, and deeper purples, reds, blues, greens, and browns. The demonic-born beamstalkers, aka Exile Beamstalkers, are often found solitary or in duos, and while most lack in magical prowess, they are merciless and violent hunters, often driving the realm's local fauna out of their hunting grounds. If a duo finds their way into a demonic realm civilization, it goes into lockdown as their holy roots still provide heavy resistance to the realm's own magics and their hungers and wrath prove insatiable. These ones must be driven back to the wilds of the realm or killed if possible.
