Just a thought...
Would the Crothal and Neadernon possibly be Goliaths and leprechauns?...
Maybe Goliath... ( "There were giants in those times." )
If type follows type, then one would be above average size, and probably fertile.
The other, weakly, liable to die soon after birth, and not very likely to be fertile.
Not much hope for the Leprechauns, as I see it.
