Civilization name: Arutz tribe(s)
Tile: G5
Species Description: The Arutz have the distinction among sapient races of not really having any distinct reason to have intelligence high enough to be self-aware. They more or less just somehow bumbled their way towards being intelligent enough that they could generously be called a future creator of civilization. Perhaps this is the reason for the fact that they have a mighty resolve and stubbornness... and the mental fortitude of a schizophrenic paranoid crack addict. This sentence more or less describes them as a whole. They have a fascination with fire and explosions, which is perhaps why they show promise in any field that leads to those things. Their restraint, on the other hand, leaves much to be desired. It is for the best that Gridhood games usually don’t last long enough to reach it, because the world is more or less screwed if they ever successfully manage to split the atom.
    As a final note, descriptions on what they look like vary from being almost human in looks, to “looking like the lovechild of a spider monkey and a goat”.
