'Verse - Sapient Species - Zerd'i

Hurrete as they called themselves is small in stature but are fierce and quick on their feet. Their species primarily evolved on Arca but their DNA precursor goes beyond the world of Arca in two different distinct species. 
During the time of Akoi'lli, Hurretes were left alone while they were studied from a distance. Akoi'lli had noted their tribal and territorial behaviors. The species easily adapted to any environments Arca had to offer. Their species ranged the border deserts of Arca to the icy tundras of the north. The species are adapted to live a long period without a water source. Because of that, they excel in the desert biome.
Noted for their large ears, they are capable of hearing faintest sounds within the ground or trees. 
In the archaic time of Hurrete, they used to burrow in the ground to construct their dens. When the species finally formed small communities, they built impressive and expansive burrow-towns.
Their primary deity is called Hurre, a deity of life. 
As their species' early (hunting/foraging) civilization developed into a religious tribal civilization, they began to spread out from the plains in all direction and thrived where they can.
Though in modern times the expansion of both Elv'i and Humes' territories began to encroach into their territories until they were forced out. 
Those who stayed too close to Hume's territories became slave combatant in a spectator sport. This began the hunting and trading of Hurretes by several larger sapient species for currency.
