Crones
Basic Information
Anatomy
Crones are roughly 5ft tall mammals that are part robotic. They have two arms and legs with a mouth central of their body and two stalk eyes on top, with flappy ears hanging of the side of their body. As they lack a neck they do not technically have a head, their body is just one continuous form.
Genetics and Reproduction
The reproduction cycle of the Crones are not too dissimilar to that of emperor penguins of Earth. After mating, an egg will be laid by the female Crone that has a four month incubation period. After hatching the baby crone is kept safe in the robotic suit of the father, carried with them wherever they go.
Growth Rate & Stages
At the age of five a crone is no longer considered a baby, and is expected to begin construction on their own robotic suit. Their robotic half is actually a rite of passage and their form of ‘coming of age’, the robotic parts are made by them throughout their life and the suit is molded into them on their 15th birthday by their immediate family. If no immediate family remains or if they refuse to give them their suit, the Crone is exiled from the clan. This tradition has been going on for three centuries, the suit has obviously advanced since then, but the ideal of the suit has always existed.
Dietary Needs and Habits
They live on a piscitarian diet mainly consisting of cron but also the occasional awri.
Additional Information
Geographic Origin and Distribution
Found in the north and south poles of Circos
Average Intelligence
Crones are incredibly intelligent and expert armourers and blacksmiths. Their robotic suits are an unrivalled invention by any other species and gives them an edge up against them.
Perception and Sensory Capabilities
They are extremely fast swimmers and due to their robotics are often impenetrable to an predators.
Civilization and Culture
Average Technological Level
Are in a medieval era, with the exception of their robotics.
Common Dress Code
Crones generally wear nothing besides their suits covering most of their bodies.
Common Taboos
To be without their suit or to never forge one is against Crones culture, and leads to immediate banishment from the clan.
