==Biology==

The Y'samech are adapted to the peat bogs, blackwater pools and dense, tangled mangrove-like vegetation of the Haetran Fen. They are long-torsoed and flexible of build. The legs are short and powerful. This allows them to dense root systems. The downside of this is the lack of skeletal rigidity makes them poor at sustained upright running. The skin is mottled olive and charcoal in color, with an slimy, mucous-coated texture. This skin is adapted as camoflage. The hair is dark, stringy mats that are sparse and oily.

This hair has an high concentration of natural sebaceous oils that provide a waterproof barrier and stop the hair from waterlogging. The eyes are milky yellow with slit-like pupils and a prominent, permanent nictitating membrane. The eyes are tuned to see well underwater. The downside of this is that they cannot see as well above water. The have pointed, small ears that lack lobes with an muscular valve that can seal the canal entirely. The ears also have an dual-chambered tympanic system that allows for effective hearing both in air and in water.

The nose has a slit nostrils and is upward facing and flat. It has an hyper-sensitive vomeronasal organ able to detect prey through chemical signals dissolved in the water. The downside of this is that smoke and other strong smells can overwhelm it. The teeth are thin, almost needle like and angled backward toward the throat. These teeth are adapted for feeding on water prey. These teeth are also fragile and can be snapped. The claws are short and broad, and on fingers with thick, leathery webbing that extends to the second knuckle.

This allows for them to swim well. The webbing has the downside of much lowered manual dexterity. This means that gripping small or thin objects is hard.The skin on the palms have small bioluminescent patches that can glow faintly green. This is used to attract prey in the water. The downside of this is that it also gives away where they are to rival kin'toni and predators. The toe claws are able to look into a closed position without thought when they sleep. This allows them to stay anchored to underwater branches.

These kin'toni have thick, muscular tails. These are used as rudders when swimming at high speeds. This also makes climbing trees harder as to gets in the way of their balance. The lungs have adapted with specialized mucous traps that neutralize the methane and sulfur gasses common in fens. The atrophied digestive tract has a section that can be inflated with air. This is used as a buoyancy control bladder, used to float motionless for ambushes. The neck has gills that can extract oxygen from silty water during long submersion.

The ribs are adapted to be more cartilage then bone. This allows them to withstand the crushing pressures of deep bogs. This also means that piercing wounds are more dangerous. The blood has an unique protein cascade for breaking down the alkaloids of the many poisonous fen plants and insects. The muscles are adapted to have an high tolerance for lactic acid buildup for bursts of underwater speed.
