Mantarans | Mantarans vary in height from about 3 to 3 ½ feet (91 - 106 cm) and weigh 40 to 45 pounds (21 – 24 kg). They walk upright even though their arms nearly reach their knees. They have a broad nose that sits on a flat face with pointed ears and a wide mouth. Their mouth contains small, but sharp fangs.They have thick skin, and their skin pigment is known to shift in colour. Members of the same tribe tend to have the same 'default' skin colour. Their large, black eyes are highly adapted to seeing in the dark, and bright lights tend to make them extremely uncomfortable. Their hands and feet have four, claw-like digits. | ||
Mantarans are highly intelligent, and have two-lobed brains. They typically do not wear clothes, but they ''do'' wear intricate symbols of rank, clan and status. Mantarans procreate by laying small eggs, which mature in about a week. Typical nests have 4-6 children. It is common for these children to feed on each other, and only the strongest survive their early childhood. Parenthood is communal, with the entire society making sure that the young are raised properly. | |||
