Humara
While closely related to centaurs, humaras have an upper half of a human and a lower half of a capybara. Between the many different types of centaurs, they are known for their calming and laidback personalities.
Humara's are also known for being friends with every species and culture they have met so far, even with ones who are currently warring against each other. When asked how they do it, they will usually brush it off and invite the reporters inside to have some fresh fruit. Because they have no enemies, the population tends to get out of control quickly. Most local governments will pay Humara villages to keep them from having more than a child per family so they can keep the population down to a reasonable amount
Humara's tend to have no gender roles in their society. They raise all their young the same, no matter the sex of the child. While those of the female sex tend to feed the child milk in the beginning since it's more nutritious, Humaras of the male sex are also able to produce milk for the child.
Basic Information
Anatomy
Humaras have a human upper half and the lower half of a capybara. The two skeletal structures are fused at the end of the human spine and the start of the capybara spine*, leading to the body having two rib cages, but only one set of organs which are held in the human upper half.
*Technically fused at the thoracic vertebrae of the capybara
Genetics and Reproduction
Humara's reproduce through sexual intercourse like many other mammals. Those with uteruses will carry the baby in their belly for six months until giving birth to one to three children.
Growth Rate & Stages
Bap stage
The bap stage is when the age of a Humara ranges from newly born to roughly two months old. Guardian attention and affection is necessary in this stage for the Humara to grow up healthy. While Humaras begin by feeding from milk of the guardian, they will quickly begin to eat grass. This is when they slowly learn how to balance their human upper half with their capybara lower half.
Pling stage
The age range for the pling stage starts at roughly two months to a year. This is when the younglings begin to learn about the community they live in and what language is. Less attention is needed for the child's mental development, but it is recommended that parents set up activities with other pups so they are able to learn more about how to play with other children.
Totup stage
This stage is when the younglings become menaces. The totup stage begins at a year old and ends at about three years of age. Humaras go through many changes during this stage as they begin to grow, physically and mentally. Humaras usually begin this stage with their torsos growing. This leads to shortness of breath and other slight issues as the organs inside try to re-adjust to the rapid growth. Next will commonly be known as the yeti phase. The pup's hair will start to swiftly grow all over the body. Most young pups will not allow their guardians to cut the hair since they like how it feels. After the yeti phase comes the play phase. This is one of the most important phases in a Humara's life. The younglings now have what seems like an endless amount of energy, always wanting to play. Guardians are advised to indulge in this play as it helps cultivate the child's mind. After the play phase will usually come a resting period. The child, having been very active for about one or two years at this point, will most commonly been found sleeping whenever they get the chance, recharging their energy.
Puild Stage
The Humara children are much calmer in this stage of life. This stage lasts from three years of age to about ten years. This is when the pups begin to learn important life skills such as caring for younger pups in the village and foraging. In this stage, Humara pups will start to become less dependent on their guardians and will start to find their unique interests. As this stage of life is quite long and let's Humara children explore, guardians are urged to provide the child with a wide variety of activities so they can experiment and see what suits them best.
Teenup Stage
This stage of life lasts from ten years of age to fifteen. Humara children will now start to fully diverge from the village. It is most common for Humara pups to leave the village entirely at fifteen to adventure out in the world and make their way in life. Humara children learn best at this stage my trial and error, so guardians must be peraped to help show the pup how to do it correctly, but only when asked.
Wae Stage
This stage starts at fifteen and ends when the child returns to the village, which they may never. This is when Humara's wander around the world and start to discover things different from their village. Most will return to their village by the age of thirty, since the majority wish to raise their own child back in the village.
Ecology and Habitats
Humara's survive best with a source of water nearby they are able to submerge their bodies in. However, they tend to adapt to any environment they travel to and can be found all over the world.
Dietary Needs and Habits
Humara's forage to survive. Depending on the local flora and fauna, there are a number of things they eat. They always eat their food fresh after they have washed it. There is no preserving or leftovers.
Biological Cycle
Depending on the environment around Humaras, they can go into hibernation or start to shed. Since this species lives around the world, there are many differences depending on the climate the Humara grew up in. If it is warmer than the Humara has grown up in, they will begin to shed and be drawn to the nearest body of water, weather that be a bathtub or the ocean. if it is closer than they are used to, They will go inter hibernation after making a 'nest' of some sort, usually made out of blankets and pillows for warmth and comfort.
Additional Information
Perception and Sensory Capabilities
Humaras have a heightened sense of hearing because they are all called by the same name when they are young. They quickly learn their guardians' voice and will react when they hear catulus called in it.
They also have a heightened sense of smell and sight to be able to identify imperfections in the food they are foraging so they are able to eat their food safely.
Civilization and Culture
Naming Traditions
Humara guardians will not name their children, calling them instead by the group name used for all young pups, catulus. When Humara's are adults, they will choose their own name they feel fits them.
Common Dress Code
While some Humaras may choose to experiment with fashion, most wear nothing in the village as they feel the village is just one big family and they have nothing to hide from each other.
Common Taboos
A common taboo is the Humara species is not stomping your feet when you meet a new person. The stomping of the feet means you welcome that person on the soil you are patting down. To not do so mean you do not wish to be there with them.
