FLAVOR TRAITS:- Tail (0 TP) A thick tail that extends about 2ft in length and six inches in diameter at the base. Tail bones are slightly thicker and stronger, however it isn't used as a weapon but a way of communication. It isn't particularly heavy so it is not an effective counterbalance.
- Scaled Hide (0 TP) Has partially scaled hide in certain places such as: the face, shoulders, tail and legs. But the scales confer little protection against attacks.
- Sharp Nails (0 TP) Tiny black nails that are curved and talonlike, however they aren't effective weapons. The nails help with lacking motor skills, and assist in matters requiring a firm grip on objects held or used. Located on hands and footpads.
- Sensitive Eyes (0 TP) Lidless reptilian eyes on either side of the head, that are sensitive to bright lights.
RACE PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION:Skittermander are short reptilian humanoids, reaching only about 2ft-2¾ft tall. Their hides range from the lightest beige to the dullest brown with patches of scales on their faces, shoulders, knees and tails. They are physically weak with rather underdeveloped muscles. Their tails extend to reach about 1ft in length and contain thick bones that are strong while also durable, however because of how short their tails are Skittermander can't use them defensively but they do use their tails to communicate. Skittermander have large lidless black eyes that are sensitive to bright lights.
POPULATION: Up to community vote.
RACE BEHAVIOR:As a whole Skittermander are quite social creatures that have a tendency to let curiosity drive their desires to meet new people, see places they've never seen and experience sensations that they have yet to discover. This desire to discover new things is often paired with their fear of being alone which results in them forming small groups of up to ten individuals, with an equal male to female ratio all travelling in packs.
Despite their fear of being without company they are extremely adaptable and well acclimated with environments that normally would be difficult to endure. Skitter society dictates that without each other they will surely perish and that they are strong as a pack, which drives their belief that in groups they can handle things with teamwork and strength in numbers.
