Biology (Aw'drai kin'toni Clan)

The Aw'drai are adapted to the lush, rocky Zilika Hills. They are lean and sinuous of build, with highly developed musculature ideal for climbing and quick evasion. They are not adapted for bulk or sheer strength. Their skin is a mottled mix earthy slate-green and dark mossy grey. Their skin has micro-folds that disrupt light and are used as a subtle, natural camouflage, along the dense shadows and leaves. Their skin has changes to allow for an sense of nearby large bodies of water, heavy moisture, or sudden weather changes.

This allows for being able to adapt to the often changing weather of the Hills. Their hair is dark mossy green and green-grey, for camouflage, coarse, and heavily textured. Their eyes are solid black, with an slight protective membrane to cut though the glare and humidity of their dark, shadowed forests. Their ears are long, pointed and curve backwards and downwards. The ears are changed as to be able to detect the ground vibrations and subtle sounds that prey make, even on the thick, damp soil.

Their noses are long and narrow, with adaptions to be exceptionally acute at tracking mammalian blood, even when the competing odors of decaying vegetation masks the smell. The nose's extreme sensitivity makes them prone to olfactory disorientation. Their teeth are long, and roughly even in length, and adapted to puncture through the thick hides of local hill mammals. This is paired with larger, stronger jaw muscles to give them their crushing bite. Their claws are short and curved, adapted for toughness for climbing over sheer sharp rocks

Their arms and legs are long and strong, with dense, non-skid pads on the palms and soles. The arms and back have long keratin spines, longer on the forearms and back, and shorter on the upper arms. These spines protect from branches, vines and attack alike. The downside is that that metal armor has to have gaps to fit the spines. Their bodies are flexible, with increased elastin production. This allows them to fit though small spaces whilst climbing or into small caves in the hills. Their hepatic "cell clots" are specialized, adapted to efficiently break down common local plant-based neurotoxins.

This adaption does not work on plants from outside their home region, as it is not adapted to those. This is to protect against accidental poisoning from local plants. Their cellar regeneration is slower, as it is adapted to conserve the energy needed for movement and temperature regulation. This is due to the fact it costs more energy in the humid environment. This slows general wound healing. What regeneration they do have, is focused on the muscles and tendons. This allows them to swift recovery from strain and micro-tears during intensive physical pursuits.

Their bodies are adapted towards quick bursts of fast movement such as when climbing and skittering up rock faces. Their adrenaline stimulation is low, and adapted to promote stillness for long periods of ambushing prey. Along with their slowed reactions, it means that they have slower initial reaction times in non-ambush confrontations.
