Quattuor
Race of aggressive four armed humanoid creatures. The men of the Quattuor thrive off of violence. They were almost wiped out by humans eons ago, and have since evolved to be deadly killing machines. Their plan is to destroy humans, with their pure strength and their acidic/fiery blood that they use as ammunition for their custom pistols. The women and children of the Quattuor are not naturally aggressive, but the male children, when they come of age, become rage induced and thirst for blood. The failed invasion of Oceania was a setback for their slaughter, but they'll be back. One male of the Quattuor, Sol, surprisingly disagreed with their ways, and wanted his people to stop, and instead of violence, use words, but they will never change. Their language is odd and ancient, but it could be understood, through a lot of work.
Basic Information
Anatomy
The Quattuor are humanoid creatures that have four arms, and highly acidic/fiery blood. They are also very muscular, often because of the heightened aggression they have, causing them to fight constantly, gaining muscle mass.
Biological Traits
Life expectancy can be anywhere between 60 to 100 years. Their weight doubles the average human, and their height is taller than humans, often standing at 6 feet or higher.
Genetics and Reproduction
The Quattuor are said to be incredibly lusty and horny creatures, often having intercourse with anything they can find. They tend to try to reproduce with only their kind, but it is said that they have tried laying with humans before.
Growth Rate & Stages
The Quattuor can live a fairly long time, around human ages, the only difference is that they mature much quicker, becoming aggressive and horny sooner than humans do.
Ecology and Habitats
With the exile of the Quattuor, they were pushed back into Terra Desertia, where they would lay in wait for decades to come. The deserts of Terra Desertia are said to be incredibly harsh and unfit for creatures to live in, but they seemingly have thrived there, laying in wait for their chance to strike from the Colossi Desert.
Dietary Needs and Habits
The Quattuor are strictly meat eaters, not often documented as eating vegetables. They go through food like mad, since they are muscular and active creatures. They have evolved to be able to not need to drink water as often as humans do. Humans can last three days without water, while the Quattuor can last a week without it. They need sleep as well, if they don't get enough, their hunting trips are often considered failures.
Biological Cycle
The passage of time affects the Quattuor just as it does humans, except for the fact that the Quattuorian children come of age much quicker than humans. Seasons don't really happen in the deserts, so they are unaffected by that.
Additional Information
Social Structure
Unknown. From what Aerias was told by Sol, it seems that the woman and children are protected heavily, and that they aren't as aggressive as the men of the tribe. The male children, however, when they come of age have to pass a rite of becoming a man, which is when their aggression heightens even more. Not much else is known about their social structure.
Facial characteristics
The Quattuor are very similar to humans, so the facial features are the same about. The only thing that is different is that the Quattuor are said to be able to grow facial hair 5x faster than a human. They often have the children decorate the facial hair with animal bones and such.
Geographic Origin and Distribution
With the exile of the Quattuor, the species has been driven to live in the deserts of Terra Desertia for many years. They have not been seen outside of the desert, except for the failed invasion of Oceania.
Average Intelligence
The Quattuor are said to be not very intelligent when it comes to book smarts and the like, but when it comes to fighting and crafting weapons (such as their custom pistols), they are incredibly intelligent, often coming up with plans of attack that match even the best general.

History
In the Era of Demise, it is said that Yharm created the Quattuor as a way of taking out the mortals that the Gods and Goddesses created. With the creation of the Quattuor also came a leader for them, Gerhman, the God of the Hunt, who was praised heavily by the Quattuor, since he was a fierce hunter and killer like them. For years, they slaughtered humans and caused massive amounts of destruction, up until the end of the Era of Demise, and even years after. When man became more advanced, however, they were able to take revenge against the Quattuor, slaughtering them like they did to them years prior. The ones that weren't slaughtered were exiled into Terra Desertia, where it was practically impossible for creatures to survive. The Quattuor laid hidden in the deserts for many years, increasing their hatred for humans, and plotting their revenge. It was only recently that they have been seen outside of Terra Desertia, coming to Oceania to invade and slaughter, but they failed. Nothing has been heard of them since. It is assumed that the Quattuor left back to the desert to plot their next invasion.
