Homebrew Tasalik Species Details

Polypodic Biology

Tasaliks' most unique feature is their four arms, which are evolved for climbing the skyscraper lile trees of their homeworld Their tuned reflexes are best suited for vertical movement, so using all appendages for precise control requires significantly more focus.

Standing upright, casaliks may reach up to 5 feet in height. Their slender build and lightweight form is perfect for climbing Males are usually smaller with a lighter complexion that blends in with the whitebark. Females are larger in comparison and have more saturated colours adapted for flaunting

TreeTop Tribes

Tasalik lives in tribes on dwellings built atop hundreds of wind-swept canopies. These treehouses form complex networks that can span up to thousands of feet in length. The largest of these develop into cities up to a mile in length with over hundreds of tribes.

Tasaliks prefer to share their resources with each other to survive harsh climates and predators Tribes tend to specialize in various skills or products, but otherwise provide only minor social distinctions

Traveler’s Soul

Tasaliks live a little more than 50 years, so they live a more daring lifestyle compared to most. They are not afraid to take risks because they trust they are capable of protecting themselves if needed

Tasaliks can be found in every corner of Tasalix as adventurers, travelling merchants, or explorers. This wanderlust eventually drove some of them to venture off their planet to the stars, eventually leading to their race's discovery.

Names

Tasaliks generally derive their names from their preferred environment or notable deed, with no distinction between male and female names. When interacting with other races, they may use nicknames gained from people they meet. Each example name includes its translation in parenthesis
