Adamere (Ah-da-me-er)
Basic Information
Anatomy
A standard adamere specimen, not accounting for disability or alteration, will be anthropoid and bipedal. They have one head with one round, flat ear on either side.
They have one arm on each side of a torso with a loosely cylindrical ribcage, each with hands that have four fingers and an opposable thumb. Their fingers each have three joints and end with a flat, keratin-based nail. They have two plantigrade legs, each with feet that have five toes. Many still have short, residual tail stubs.
Genetics and Reproduction
Adamere reproduce sexually via approximately 273 days (12.4 universal months) of mammalian pregnancy. Their typical rate of reproduction is one baby per two universal years, with 12 months of gestational time and an advised 20 months of recovery. Multiples are possible with twins occuring at appox. one in every 345 births and larger groups of multiples becoming less likely with each individual.
Growth Rate & Stages
Adamere do not have distict life stages, but rather physically mature slowly over the course of 20 years. Their babies are very small and frail, usually needing to be carried by a parent and attended to 22/7. After approx. two universal years, they reach the milestone of being able to walk and speak somewhat consistently on their own, though are generally not mentally developed enough to no longer rely on their parents. From there, self sufficiency is extremely varied and some will never be able to live without assistence from their communities.
Ecology and Habitats
Adamere are generalists when it comes to their adaptations, allowing them to venture into most any area, in any dimension. This has lead to conversation among other species about their status as an invasive species as they successfully consume resources within a new area without knowledge of how to replenish said resources, and show a remarkable capacity for pushing native species out of their own spaces. They seem to have very little understanding of their niche, nor care for the consequences of slaughtering other species near indiscriminately.
Dietary Needs and Habits
Adamere are omnivores, with the majority of their diet consisting of roots, fruit, and vegetables.
Behaviour
Adamere on average show an extremely bizarre lack of caution for a species that occupy a middle place in the food web. It is unclear why, especially considering their intelligence.
Additional Information
Social Structure
Adamere utilize extremely varied social structures depending on their subculture and size of their group. Adamere evolved from herd animals and remained herd animals, requiring intense socialization with both other members of their species and other animals. A lack of this socialization brings extreme distress and a plethora of disorders.
Uses, Products & Exploitation
Adamere are, strangely, favored as food by a number of creatures, and are notably such a favored delicacy of Paradox Daino that his offspring have developed not just a taste for their flesh, but a physiological need to consume it. It is unclear why.
Facial characteristics
Adamere have relatively flat faces with two forward facing eyes, distinct, movable eyebrows, a triangular, cartilage based nose, and proper lips and cheeks. Their jaws have 32 teeth, with 8 incisors, 4 canines, 8 premolars, and 12 molars.
Geographic Origin and Distribution
Adamere are found in nearly every dimension, as well as the majority of continents within those dimensions.
Average Intelligence
Adamere are well known for their large brains, and their intelligence is highly varied. They typically display a high degree of interpersonal intelligence, as cooperation is key to the survival of their species.
Symbiotic and Parasitic organisms
Adamere do not necessarily have any symbiotic species, but do cooperate with many other species through domestication. They frequently keep animals as pets, work animals, or food, as well as cultivate plants for food or pest control. Many other species do this, but their attempts at "domestication" of other species with intelligence compatible to their own is held as extremely questionable.

Civilization and Culture
History
Adamere were discovered as a species in 15735 of the Second Era. It's unclear where Adamere originate from, but it's thought to be somewhere from Earth. They were declared their own species remarkably quickly after their first contact with other species, and had no developted language or observable culture during their first contact, specifically a small troupe of dryads which led the adamere to a nearby city. It's unclear how many adamere were in the origional herd, as it was not well recorded.
EXTINCT
Scientific Name
Corpri Adamera
Lifespan
75 years
Average Height
150-185cm
Average Weight
60-80kg
Average Physique
Adamere have a muscular structure which is easily varied to meet their needs. Generally however adamere are built well for endurence, as they're persuit predators. They have an unusual talent for throwing among primates.
Body Tint, Colouring and Marking
The majority of adamere have skin ranging from fairly dark brown to lighter honey tones. There are many with skin tones with orange-brown rather than red-brown, which are more common than those with very pale, pink skin. Those with pale, pink skin can have peachy or blue-purple undertones rather than the brown or red undertones of other pigments.
Their hair color is usually corolated to the color of their skin, those with brown skin often having brown hair with vaired textures, though usually some variation of tight curl. Black and raven hair, usually either straight or wavy, is common among those with orange-brown pigment, though not unheard of with those with lighter tones. Orange, red, and yellow hair with highly varied textures are typically corolated with the paler, pink skinned adamere. Notably the palms and underside of their feet will always lack melanin, but not necessarily other forms of pigmentation.
Eye color is bizarre among adamere, as their eye colors do not corolate to enviornmental chroma of their area or heiritage. The majority of adamere have brown eyes, but many have green, blue, amber, or grey. In very rare cases, some will have red irises. This is not due to pigmentation or Chroma, but rather due to infection or prevolence of iritation in the capilaries.
