Suktu (SOOK-too)

Written by orphidor

The Suktu are small in stature, but not in bravery or mental acuity. They're the most common intelligent race in the Middle Realm.

Basic Information

Anatomy

The Suktu are bipedal, possessing two arms and two legs. While some are stocky, most have leaner builds.

Genetics and Reproduction

Suktu gestation takes around 270 days and almost always results in non-identical twins. 75% of all Suktu are born male, so an intriguing custom has developed allowing gay and straight couples alike to raise a child.

Growth Rate & Stages

The Suktu are virtually helpless in the first stages of their life. By around age 15, they will begin to undergo their hormonal transformations to fully-grown adults. Mental maturity completes shortly thereafter.

This species is able to make a home wherever they can survive the elements and reliably source food. While they are physically incapable of withstanding the most extreme environments, they make up for it with their incredible ingenuity and inventive ability. They frequently live within the Tall Cities.

Dietary Needs and Habits

They are omnivorous, living mostly on farmed grains and vegetables, as well as the products of domesticated animals.

Behaviour

Their drive to improve upon and reuse resources means that they are often drawn to the Tall Cities.

Scattered over the main continents and many larger islands of the Middle Realm.
