Basic Information

Anatomy

Zarcas are bipedal saurids who have three rows of small spikes going from the the middle of their heads (above their eyes) to the back areas of their heads. Zarcas are built with a slightly stockier frame, giving them a strong yet agile body that allows them to move quickly. They have four-digit hands with small claws on each hand, strong enough to dig into whatever they choose yet small enough to close their hands into fists. Zarcas have strong tails that are thick enough to be used as an balance to help them run, or even climb by gripping areas that their arms or legs cannot reach. Male Zarcas exhibit a bright orange color patterns throughout their bodies with dark red stripes from head to tail. Female Zarcas exhibit a more peachy color with varying shades of brown from head to tail. Young Zarcas of either male or female have dull versions of these colors, changing into the characteristics of adults.

Civilization and Culture

Interspecies Relations and Assumptions

Zarcas have a good relationship with members of the Lerith race as they tend to find them sociable, partly due to the more adventurous nature of Leriths. It is not uncommon for Zarcas and Leriths to be seen in the same spaces or groups, and even engaging in trade with them. Leriths who have Zarcas in their group tend to be loyal to them, and journey with them on jobs in the field. Zarcas have a amicable relationship with the Dromaos as both kinds have co-existed for many centuries, although there have been occasions where both kinds were in conflict. Dromaos generally treat the Zarcas well, although individual bias can sometimes be seen in the behavior of some individuals.
