Tamarians
The Terrors of the Caig
The Tamarians are a sapient race native to Tareolis. They are known for their large frames and generally cruel demeanor. Massive, imposing, destructive, terrifying, these are just some of the words used to describe the Tamarian race. Tamarians are large insect-born humanoids who share a common ancestor with the now extinct Temar insectoids.
Strength Without Mercy
Their sometimes cruel and often selfish ways would often lead them to attack and hunt other races for sport, most notably Saphedron as they have diametrically opposing views on the nature of consumption. However, due to the fact that Tamarians prefer to live in more extreme hot climates, they had rarely left the comfort of their homeland before the founding of Mas'Teiel.Basic Information
Anatomy
Imposingly large, coming in at an average of 8 feet tall. While humanoid in nature, their appendages are massive when compared to most other sapient races. Their skull size comes in at about 35-40 inches in circumference, allowing for normally traumatizing blows to be rendered useless against them.
Genetics and Reproduction
They reproduce much like most insects, a male will inseminate a pile of eggs a female will lay upon being courted in heat.
Dietary Needs and Habits
Tamarians are a fairly conservative race when it comes to food, and can live for up to a few weeks without either due a combination of their unique anatomy storing excess nutrients and the amount of sustenance they can obtain from converting the contents of large mineral deposits into usable energy. Their throats contain bladed organs that reduce the hard minerals into dust and their digestive track converts the base elements into nutrients using water as a base. As a result of this process, Tamarians require an excess amount of water to be able to adequately digest and help power their multiple complex body systems.
Additional Information
Perception and Sensory Capabilities
A Tamarian rarely develops eyesight that is as effective as most humanoids, however they make up for this in minor tremor-sense that helps them in their native region; as they often are born within large cave systems. As a result of their tremor-sense they also tend to have heightened hearing.
Civilization and Culture
Culture and Cultural Heritage
Tamarians believe in survival of the fittest beyond all other ideals. They have shaped their way of life based on their need to fight for the right to live right at child birth, among hundreds of other hatchlings also fighting to live. Tamarians revel in battle with each other as well as hunting other species for sport; much of their traditions and holidays revolve around these temptations.
