Okitti

The Okitti are a naturally curious and dim-witted race. While their constructions have a certain charm to them, no scholar has ever made a claim that their people are capable of many feats of greatness. Rudimentary tools, and crude attempts at imitating the greater works of other races are a staple among the nests of these creatures. That being said, making allies of the Okitti is a vastly better position to be in that the alternative. 
Due to their incredible rate of breeding, a small litter of Okitti can quickly turn into a swarm. As such, many cities that find themselves with Okitti naturally residing in their home tend to form mutually beneficial arrangements such as in Silvercliff City
Despite their relatively simple minds, Okitti are capable of being crafty, and have remarkable memories when it comes to interpersonal matters. A den of Okitti will spread tales of individuals who once helped them, leading to generations of their offspring being loyal to this individual.

Basic Information

Genetics and Reproduction

The species produces sexually, with a gestation period of roughly a month. An Okitti will generally give birth to anywhere from two to six offspring, and is often capable of birthing four litters within a year.

Growth Rate & Stages

Okitti grow rapidly, becoming capable of most day-to-day actions of their people within two months. The Okitti are considered children until roughly six months, treated as young adults until about a year, and then are regarded as fully grown up until the age of ten years, where they are considered revered elders. 
Okitti have an average life-span of roughly 12 to 15 years.

Dietary Needs and Habits

Okitti are omnivores with a quite remarkable digestive system. They are capable of processing almost any organic matter, including tree bark and other fibers considered inedible by many other species. In addition, the Okitti have evolved impressive resistance to disease and poisons, enabling them to further consume materials well past the safe thresholds for other creatures.
