History Over the years rocklings have been hunted for their storage capabilities and have been treated like animals and Used for manual labor and treated very poorly by other creatures they're goddess hated to see her poor creatures treated this way so every time a rock thing would die she would pull their bodies into the ground and move them into a further safer place for them to reform and eventually she managed to make them all form in a certain place secret hidden from the world where they would make their own villages and live happily but she didn't manage to save all of her Rock children some of them are still scattered around the world and the ones who are already safe like the magmalings she is proud to see them grow into a wonderful Nation .
