Repostan mah speessheeze.
I'm not really sure what the dividing factor is about. And I'd guess that I'd need to lower the max age a bit if I wanted to avoid EP costs? Also, I made an educated guess about the breeding years, since half of 70 iss 35, and the old breeding age was 40.
Spoiler (click to show/hide)
Species: Nahuantl (Plural:Nahuantl Adjective: Nahuantl)
Dividing Factor: 1000 Litter Size: 3 Death Age: 50 Breeding Years: 30
Description: Nahuantl are 2' to 3' tall monotremes which appear to be lizards with vibrant, smooth, green (on rare occasions blue, and it can be white if their parents spend their lives completely away from the sun.) skin. They possess muscular tails from 2' to 3' long and in place of hair they have tendrils tapering from the backs of their skulls to roughly 1' in length, though these generally grow to be longer than this as they age. Females are typically larger than males, with slightly shorter tails. They have rather fierce looking, black, curved claws on their hands and feet alike, and their feet are also prehensile as well.
Location: The jungles of R-12 and 14, the base of the mountains at R-16, and along the river bank at S-15.
Diet: Omnivores. Their diet is primarily fruvivorous, but is complimented with various insects and other bugs. For one reason or another, they rarely eat fish or meat, though they have no qualms about it when times are tough.
Evolutions:
Manipulators 10: 10 EP
Nahuantl have deft fingers on their hands and feet.
Speed 10: 10 EP
Nahuantl have fairly well developed speed, given that their small size make evasion of larger creatures one of their primary methods of survival.
Language 7: 7 EP
Nahuantl communicate with hoots, whoops, hisses, and slight color shifts in the face and chest area. Like most creatures, they also communicate through body language.
Claws 5: 5 EP
Nahuantl claws are adapted to helping them climb, but are not particularly useful in combat.
Climbing 10: 10 EP
Nahuantl are excellent climbers, and spend almost all of their lives in the trees.
Swiming 5: 5 EP
Nahuantl are fairly good swimmers, though they don't really excel at it.
Color changing 5: 5 EP
Nahuantl can change the colors of their body to match their surroundings, but can not mimic complex patterns.
Electromanipulation 4: 4 EP
Nahuantl can generate a mild electric shock. This is too weak to kill on its own, but can generally stun creatures for a moment, possibly giving the Nahuantl the upper hand.
Farming 8: 8EP Because so many are beginning to starve to death, the Nahuantl are beginning to get a grasp around the concept of farming.
Tactics 5: 5EP Skirmishes with the Jhiar'd and others have much improved the tactics on the field. It was a hard lesson to learn, but now they know to retreat and advance in a semi-ordered fashion.
Caste Systems 9:The Nahuantl have developed a system of goverment based upon segregation of labor by abilty and birth.
Construction 3:Basic shelters of wood and leaves are often seen in Nahuantl land-or not seen as they seem to be hidden most of the time.
Tool Making 3:The Nahuantl know how to use sticks and stones for building and defense.
Martial Arts 2: Many Nahuantl have learned the basic tenants of martial arts. Other than making them deadly in close quarters combat, its tenants are close to being religiously followed.
Weapon Making 2: The use of a simple wooden spear is well know to the Nahuantl.
Armoring 2: Part of the "Tenqgor" or ceremonial armor and weapon set, Nahuantl use simple stone slabs or the blue and white mushroom as an effective shield, allowing them to parry blows.
Disadvantages:
Haughtiness: The Nahuantl have an inherent sense of superiority to other forms of life, as well as different groups within their own species.
Smallish: The Nahuantl are threatened as prey by a number of other species.
