Kutai

The Kutai (Teoja: Kyuteo; Thyridic: Gewthai) are an amphibious race inhabiting the Kira Jungle and Aios. They have a long-standing rivalry with the Yakira, and often hunt them.
==Physiology==
Kutai are an amphibious beast race. 
Male Kutai's chest and belly are covered with thicker scale plates than the rest of their bodies, offering a mild form of natural armor, although it does not stand up well against metal weaponry.
Their scales are often colored in patterns matching their environment- Anywhere from green-blue to leopard spotted beige. Due to their diet, they have straight, thick, razor-like teeth perfect for ripping meat as well as thick skinned fruits. They also have large back molars for eating plants, though these teeth are rarely used. Kutai tend to be rather slender, but agile and muscular enough to scale large trees and swim through water with ease.
Most Kutai are physiologically capable of breathing underwater, but not all are accustomed to it.
==Personality==
Typical Kutai are observant, proud, and egotistical. Around other races they tend to remain quiet, and reserved, but still stand by their pride. They make up for in honor and pride what they lack in people skills. Being alienated from the outside world, Kutai rarely ever speak with anyone outside of their own race. This can make for awkward conversations and relatively dead social lives among other races.
The one thing a Kutai cares about more than their own life is their honor and their family's honor. Often soldiers will die by the hands of themselves or friendly soldiers (via suicide or assisted suicide) before dying in the hands of an enemy. Kutai tend to react harshly to insults when they are given, usually resulting in a non-lethal fight or worse circumstances.
The Thyrosic Empire is a widely disliked political power by nearly all Kutai. This is due to the centuries of expansion the Empire has tried to push into the Kira Jungle. Nearly all the attempts have been a lost cause, due to the impenetrable terrain and savagery of the Kutai.
