First Contact: Stode

This is Stode, of the Strondolie clan. Stode is a young adult Zokeañatī, who lives in a rural village in the middle-east of the central continent Xa∏enū. He works as a part time farmer, tending to the fields of crops owned by his family. He lives modestly, but more or less comfortably. Here he is, using his staff to prop himself up.

Zokeañatīi are mesothermic creatures, slightly more on the warm blooded side. They are hexapods, with three fingers upon each hand/foot. Their first four limbs posses thumbs and can easily grip things, though noticably, the first pair of limbs are more dextrous than the thicker, stronger second limbs. While all limbs can be used to walk, it is more common to us the second and third pairs of limbs. The second pair of limbs however, can also be used to hold things easily. The last pair of limbs is exclusively used to walk. They also posses a horn. In males, horns are more prominent. This is a trait heralded from their ancestors, who used their horns to impress females. It would be expected that these horns would eventually be lost through the process of evolution, but early cultures believed that larger horns proved an individual being descended from a god, and the horn gene wasn't lost. Zokeañatī have seven spiracles leading to three lungs, one in their mouth, and the remaining on their sides. They also have a pair of antenai that allow them to smell. Say hello to Stode.
