Species: kwami
Kwamis are group of magical beings from the Miraculous Ladybug French animated series. They are small divine, spirit-like beings who embody "abstract" concepts. They give certain powers to people with Miraculouses (magical pieces of jewelry/accessories), transforming them into animal-themed superpowered beings.
Generally, Kwamis are small, being around 10 centimeters (4 inches) in height, with large heads, big eyes, tails in different sizes, and tiny bodies. They have arms and legs, and though they lack fingers and toes, Kwamis are still able to grab things. The animal theme that they display is reflected in their Miraculous; for example, Plagg is black with green eyes and has cat-like ears and a cat-like tail. Fittingly, his Miraculous is the Cat Miraculous.
In "Re-creation", with Tikki and Plagg it's revealed that Kwamis have one other form under the command "Kwami Reveal Yourself", they assume their original forms becoming humanoid giants with multiple arms.
Kwami have apparently existed since the beginning of time and are immortal. They are similar to gods as their existence perpetuates the concepts they represent. A Kwami cannot fully control their power by default and to activate it may cause irreparable damage or alterations to the world or reality itself. For Example, Plagg, The Kwami embodying the concept of Destruction once used his power to wipe out the dinosaurs and while pulling his punches he used his power to almost obliterate the country of France. In order to better control their powers, The Miraculouses were created. Miraculous are magical pieces of jewelry or accessories that can store the spirit and power of a Kwami and allow the human user to better manifest and control their power. However, this does not diminish the full power of the Kwami, as in an alternate timeline a villainous Cat Noir used the power of Cataclysm to destroy the entire universe in a fit of rage.
Even though they are small, Kwamis appear to have a human level of strength. They have displayed the ability to hold and lift things that are larger and/or heavier than themselves. Despite said size, there seems to be no limit to the amount of food they can eat.
They cannot be photographed, video taped, or perceived by artificial intelligence. The Miraculous that each Kwami is bound to also places several limits onto their abilities, such as being unable to refuse the current owner of their respective Miraculous or reveal their personal information without their owner's consent. They also cannot leave their owner or travel a certain distance from their Miraculous, except on the birthday of another Kwami.
