RACES…

In Order of Appearance…

Don’t forget to cross-reference this list with the character list!

*** The character notes can be found below ***

Note; I did not bother to add humans to this list

———————————————————-

-The Xxo-

Humans call them ‘Giant Broccoli’

No one knows how to pronounce it…if it helps, here is how I pronounce it; it rhymes with ‘show’, but starts with a soft ‘j’ sound, or ‘zh’ maybe, just put you tongue to the roof of your mouth and let it start to vibrate as you exhale, make your mouth buzz like a kazoo…hope that helps

They look a little like two-ended giant broccoli, or two sea anemones stuck together at the base

8 feet tall, just to where their top tentacles start, 11 or twelve feet tall to tip of tentacles…tentacles on top and bottom, (they can flip upside down)…eyes all around center of torso, can focus any or all…have multiple mouths that are vertical slits that circle trunk…green with purple swirls and veins like marble

Give birth by dividing top to bottom…Larger half maintains original personality, new half makes new individual

Live for thousands of years…sway back and forth when drunk (or mad)

Sun Tzu style thought processes…think in terms of strategy…Very military mindset

Have fighting war beasts called ‘Biters’
