One by one, a large mass of creatures awoke in the dead of night. Unsure of where they were, or what was happening, they all began to rise from the cold soil and rock. Some started to wander, in awe as they watched the stars and the moon fly high above the sky. A massive mountain, taller than their eyes could see, stood in the center of their landscape. Sunlight was shining over the horizon. The setting sun. The light was beautiful... but it felt so wrong, and the Kigore felt it would come again. "We must hide from the burning rock!" the largest female called. "Yes... but where..." said another. "There! Inside these rocks!" the largest female called again. Just at the base of the mountain lay a massive mouth leading into an underground cave system. Within, the Kigore felt safe. Safe from the burning rock in the sky. Some gathered to rest, while others went into the caves to explore, making sure not to stray too far. Soon, the female that had found them safety was named Matriarch.
"What is this place..." one of the Kigore scouts said in awe as it stared at the beautiful caves full of strange plants that created an odd purple glow, illuminating their environment. One of the scouts grabbed on of the purple clumps and bit into the mushroom flesh. It tasted sweet and sour. "Good..." the Kigore said. The other two in the group gathered and tried some too. They all decided to take some back to the group. But as they started heading back to the group, they heard a strange clicking noise... "What was that?" Two of the Kigore said at the same time. Suddenly, a creature revealed itself from the darkness. A huge spider stepped out from its hiding place and lunged at one of the Kigore. Immediately, one of the others grabbed his friend and started running back to the group.
Another small group of brave Kigore set out into the dead of night, searching for materials. As they wandered, they found a few dead trees and found an assortment of small, long, thick, and sharp sticks. They started gathering the largest sticks and some leaves. Meanwhile, others grabbed sharp sticks and started looking for prey.
As a group of Kigore returned from the surface with sticks, three Kigore came running and yelling for help. Unsure of what was going on, two Kigore grabbed their sticks and slowly walked towards the cavern tunnel. Within, a huge spider crawled out with its fangs out. Three more Kigore grabbed sharp sticks to engage the beast, the first two already swinging their spears and jabbing at the creature. The rest of the Kigore cowered at the back of the cave while the Matriarch stood in front of the tribe. Overpowered, the spider began retreating back into the undergrowth. There was a long silence... "We must protect ourselves from these creatures... otherwise, where is there to go?" The Matriarch said.
- Nocturnal (0) - Members of this species are nocturnal by nature, meaning that they spend the better part of the day in their dwellings, and instead they move out at night to deal with their usual tasks. To go along with this lifestyle, their senses are greatly enhanced and allow them to effectively traverse the pitch black nights. However, these same senses are often assaulted by daylight, making the members of the species much less effective, or downright lethargic at times if they have to work during the day.
- Tail (0 / Does not cost trait pick) - Members of this species have long tails to help balance their body-weight.
- Big (0) - Members of this species are naturally larger than their peers. This size is both a blessing and a curse: members of the species usually live slightly longer and are stronger, but they also move slower and tire out more easily, as well being unable to easily hide or fit onto smaller spaces.
- Extra Arms (-1) - Members of this species showcase an unnatural evolutionary feature: an extra set of arms located above or below their shoulders. Though seemingly cumbersome at first, these arms are just as functional as the other two, making this species both excellent physical workers and warriors.
RACE PHYSICAL APPEARANCE:
POPULATION: 100
RACE BEHAVIOUR: Kigore reside in mountains, caves, and deep underground. They are predatory, but will also eat cave mushrooms and plants. Their main diets are Cave root and Animal meats. They dig and build a collection of maze-like tunnels and caverns. Each cavern has a different role. Some are designated as food storage's, while others can be sleeping chambers. They only come out at night, and dislike bright lights, but will still use fires *though they are not well accustomed to the light*, and will use the darkness to help them hunt.
HISTORY: In the beginning, the Kigore awoke in a strange world that seemed was not their own...
CULTURE: For eons, the ball of fire rained terror over the Kigore, and the ball of ice granted sanctuary...
