Biology

The Wor'ardi are adapted to the grasslands, intense solar radiation seasonal droughts and winds of the Kalem Savanna Plateau. They are very tall, slender, long limbed and gracile of build. The tendons being hyper extended and acting as spings for the high speed, energy-efficient running needed on the plains. This also means their bones have a structural cross-section. Due to this, these bones are easy to fracture, such as by impacts or falls. The skin is ultra dense, leathery and sandy ochre in color.

This skin contains a large amount of reflective purine crystals to act as a way to deal with the ambient heat and light just after sunset. Being very dense with purine crystals makes their skin less permeable, making their cutaneous oxygen absorption slower. The hair is a thick, coarse mane, straw like and white in color. It runs down the spin and coats the skull in order to deflect heat and channel the cooling wind over the body. The hair is rigid enough to be easy to break, making the skin exposed if broken.

The eyes are pale yellow in color, with oversized, horizontally elongated pupils. The eyes also have an highly developed tapetum lucidum in order to catch what light they can on moonless nights. These ears are adapted to wide vision and so lack vertical field of vision. This means that they cannot see well threats or prey above them on trees or cliffs. The ears are large, long and highly mobile, and containing an large amount of line blood vessels for radiating away large amounts of heat.

This also lets them track even the smallest rustle of grass. The nose has short, wide nasal passages, with high-surface-area turbinate bones. These act as a moisture condensing system to keep the water they breathe as much as possible. The teeth are long, narrow, and like blades, with serrated capillary edges. These edges are adpated or slicing cleanly though though hide and muscle. Being adapted for slicing means they chip and snap if bones are bitten on. The claws are short, straight and retractable.

These claws act as running cleats. The claws are poor at grasping, holding and climbing due to the lack of curvature and sharpness. The feet are digitigrade, and the metatarsals are fused and elongated. The digital pad is very calloused as an adaption to running. These feet are narrow enough that wet environments ten to bog them down. Inside, they have modified lymphatic systems, adapted to retain urea in the blood. This allows them to keep the osmotic pressure high in order to keep water into the body.

Being hyertonic also means they have heavy physiological stress and being prone to cellular dehydration if they go without blood or water. The spleen is very enlarged, muscular and it acts as a way to store the oxygen-rich red blood cells. During sprints, it can release this cells for a boast of energy. They have a system of massive reserves of glycogen in their hepatic cell clots. If triggered by adrenaline, it can be converted into glucose. These two systems lead to severe metabolic exhaustion after they are exhausted.
