Gaoh

== Inspiration: ==
* Gaoh = "Spirit of the Winds" (a strong cannibal giant who controls the winds, in the mythology of the Iroquois, Huron, and Seneca peoples). The four cardinal winds are referred to as Ya-o-gah (Bear/North Wind), Da-jo-ji (Panther/West Wind), O-yan-do-ne (Moose/East Wind) and Ne-o-gah (Fawn/South Wind).

* Gaoh = "fang king" (not only a Kamen Rider character, but also a lion-like creature from Toriko).
* Created as an elaboration on what Botamo's species could be like: https://dragonball.fandom.com/wiki/Botamo's_race
* Nanook = "master of bears": https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nanook
== The Four Tribes of Gaoh: ==
=== Ya-o-gah Tribe (Botamo's race): ===
The Bear-men of the North. Bear-like people who live mostly in the northern regions of Planet Gaoh. They're omnivorous, and can stomach just about any kinds of food (as food's harder to obtain in the far northern places). The Ya-o-gah typically look like bipedal bears, with shiny hairless bodies, yellow/brown skin (turning gray as they age), and round cylindrical ears. They usually grow very plump, to be able to resist colder climates.
They specialize in a fighting style that utilizes mostly their very elastic, slick skin (to bounce off of things, bounce things off of them, nullify blunt attacks thrown their way, etc.).

=== Da-jo-ji Tribe: ===
The Panther-men of the West. They resemble bipedal panthers, and are carnivorous. They're feared across Gaoh for their tendencies to prey upon other species, and people rarely dare to travel through the western regions of Gaoh. The Da-jo-ji are often mistaken for Kilkenni, but there are some noteable differences between them. The Da-jo-ji have short cylindrical ears like the other three tribes of Gaoh, they also have black fur (turns to gray, and eventually white as they age), long whiskers, and long thick panther-like tails.
=== O-yan-do-ne Tribe: ===
The Moose-men of the East. They vaguely resemble the Ya-o-gah, but much more skinnier/athletically built, and have longer snouts and moose-like antlers. They inhabit the eastern regions of Gaoh, are herbivorous, and generally very peaceful.
=== Ne-o-gah Tribe: ===
The Fawn-men/Deer-men of the South. They look like the O-yan-do-ne, but are much shorter and have deer-like antlers. Also a relatively peaceful group that inhabits the southern regions of Gaoh, but are oft preyed upon by the Da-jo-ji.
== Brief History of Gaoh: ==
Little is known about their worldly history before achieving space travel. It's rumoured that the four tribes were each once thriving, very technologically advanced civilizations that eventually fell into war because of overpopulation. They now live sparsely, mostly solitary and scattered across Gaoh. 
A few hundred years ago, the Tuffles explored a certain solar system, and encountered the denizens of Gaoh upon landing on their planet. The Tuffles agreed upon a peaceful trade agreement with the four tribes, and helped them accomplish space travel.
