Huawents
The Huawents resemble humans, but with skin and hair as white as snow, and eyes a dark blue like the bottom of the ocean. They are extraordinarily tall, with the average Anuaran woman measuring about 3 feet.
There are multiple different races of Huawents. A majority are Generic Huawents, while Northern Huawents and Marsh Huawents are confined to specific regions (those being the north and the Ice Marshes).
There are four different Huawent sexes. The most easy to understand are the Iazuns, women who do not have the ability to produce offspring.
The women who have the ability to produce offspring are The Damewomen. These are women with the ability to give birth, and they function much like queen ants.
For the first few years of a Damewoman’s life, she will be fully mobile, with an appearance similar to Iazuns. When she reaches puberty, she will begin to shift into a completely immobile form, with her limbs fusing to the rest of her body. This new form is a large, circular one, resembling a boulder. A Damewoman can carry 10 fetuses at once, and it is said that they feel no pain from pregnancy or childbirth, but this has not been verified.
Another sex are The Hunters. These are males who lack the ability to fertilise women. They’re covered in a thick layer of white hair, and sport massive claws. As their name implies, their task is to hunt, but they also protect the community they live in as well as building and other acts of menial labour.
Lastly, there are the men. They are the ones who fertilise the Damewomen, and they do not have a humanoid appearance, but instead resemble large seals. A majority of their time is spent sleeping, only waking up to mate. To consume nutrients, they burrow within the snow and use filter feeding, eating tiny insects who dwell there.
The traits of the various sexes of Huawents vary within the different Huawent races.
The Northern Huawents are larger than their southern counterparts, and both their Iazuns and the Hunters are coated in a thick layer of white fur. They also have light blue eyes. Apparently, at the furthest northern reaches of Anuaran live Huawents eight meters tall who look almost like bears, with the addition of massive tusks. However, the accounts of them are so few, many believe this to be over-exaggerations.
Then, there are the Marsh Huawents, who live in the ice marshes. Their Damewoman are circular in size and serve as rafts, with a circle of air pockets making them extra buoyant. The Marsh Huawenrs will spend the entirety of the warm season on the backs of the Damewoman, only living on land when the marshes freeze in winter. The men of the Marsh Huawents look much more fish-like then the Generic Huawent men, and the Hunters grow longer fingernails to puncture ice.
Another Huawent race are The Sharp Huawents, named so after their sharp teeth and nails. They live around Cerumisk Island, using their claws for fishing.
Lastly, a small community of about 10,000 Huawents dwell in Uanuk, having immigrated there thousands of years ago. These Huawents are known as Stony Huawents. They are much shorter than their cousins in Anuaran, with skin that is moreso a light grey rather than white.
