Tikar

Average Height: 2.5 meters
Average Lifespan: 125 years
 
Rather tall and broad of shoulder, Tikar are covered in a short,
dense fur of variable color: from orange or blank, to the very rare pure
white. Typically they have long muzzles with long pointed canine teeth.
Large ears and a fine sense of smell make the Tikar good at hunting, and
particularly avoidant of bad restrooms.
 
Hailing from the little-known world of Juthe, the Tikar are a sight
which is infrequent at best in the great 'civilized' Galaxy. The planet
is mostly isolated but a few traders visit for it's rich supplies of
fauna of diverse uses. The rather diverse variety of Juthe has lead the
Tikar to be somewhat adaptable to many climes-- hardy, and rough.
 
A societal rift of sorts exists among the Tikar. The males and
females live apart for a majority of their lives. The females live in
somewhat industrialized cities with while the males live a nomadic,
clan-based lifestyle in the wilds. Male children are born and raised with
their mothers until they reach adolescence when their fathers come and
take their sons to live with the clan and learn their hunting skills.
Tikar males are then taught the secret skill of taming and riding Juthe's
native flying reptiles, called Mosgoths.
