Dezians

Dezians - one of the sapient species living in the Nano Battlers universe, and also one of the two known native sapient species from the desert planet Erendium. They are famous for their suspicion, although it is not yet aggressive treatment of newcomers or distrust. They can also be hospitable because they are aware of the importance of all this in such a difficult environment. 
==Biology==
They are humanoid mammals, very similar to humans. Main differences:
*they have two more pairs of chromosomes;
*they can survive for a long time without food and water;
*they are characterized by quite high resistance to high temperatures, but do not like the cold;
*men have absolutely no hair, women - only on the head, and it is also very sparse;
*the skin is yellow-brown, covered with characteristic patches. The arrangement of the patches is probably as unique as a fingerprint to humans. The background color can sometimes be yellow, sometimes brown, other times it is practically impossible to determine what the background is. Sometimes more is yellow and sometimes more brown, but as of yet no individual has been documented to be either completely brown or completely yellow.
*eyes have very wide irises, from under which you can hardly see whites. On the other hand, dots may appear on the irises, which is closely related to their specific way of inheriting eye color. To be precise: the background color of the eye is inherited from the background color of the eye of the same-sex parent, and the color of the dots is the color of the eye of the opposite-sex parent (e.g. if the father has blue eyes and the mother is green, their son will have blue eyes. with green dots, and the daughter - green eyes with blue dots).
*what’s more, their eyes are very resistant to harsh light;
*they have tails, which to them are more or less what humps are to camels - they are stores of nutrients. However, these tails are usually not visible, because the Dezian customs require to hide them under clothing so that even their shape is not visible.
==Culture==
They usually dress in large, loose, baggy robes that protect against sun, heat, sand and wind. They put hoods on their heads, something like balaclavas, eye goggles (with filter lenses), and their faces are tightly wrapped with bandages.
In their culture, the gesture of hitting one’s neck with the outer edge of the hand does not mean neither that we are having a party, nor ordering an end (such as the director’s famous shout: “Cut!”), Or threatening death, but it is equivalent to our knocking on the forehead or screwing ourselves finger on temple, i.e. is used to suggest that our interlocutor is insane.
Exposing even the smallest part of the body, even on the face, is considered a sign of recklessness, bravado and carelessness. This does not mean that such a person is ostracized or that absolutely no one will trust them, but that they should be skeptical about their behavior and ideas, carefully analyze them and watch over them, because there may be a high risk that they will do something stupid. This is due to the fact that the specific costumes of Dezian are very important, among others due to the fact that they offer protection against the main threats found in the desert climate of the Erendium.
The Dezians consider hiding their tail (usually in the trouser leg) as an important element of savoir-vivre - the tail is a storehouse of nutrients, so the better developed it is, the better nourished a Dezian is, which is usually associated with a high material status. Therefore, revealing the shape of the tail is considered a sign of frizzing, looking down on others and exalting yourself - which in such a harsh world is considered particularly outrageous, because it particularly affects those who are not lucky in life (and in such a hostile climate with such it is easy for the unlucky ones).
Dezians have their own language, which is characterized by the fact that they attach great importance to the issue of definiteness and indeterminacy (this is due to the fact that in such a dangerous world everything has to be approached carefully and carefully and thoroughly investigated). This results, for example, in a system of definite and indefinite articles and - as in Hungarian for example - a division into definite and indefinite conjugation.
Dezian surnames are multi-part: they consist of a first name, a paternal name, a family name, a surname and a place of birth.
==Policy==
Dezians are divided into tribes, usually ruled monarchically. Their leaders in most tribes are chosen in a quite specific way, i.e. hereditary-elective - the people choose a new ruler, but the candidates can only be the children of the current leader - age or gender are completely irrelevant, only the number of votes counts. So if, for example, a chief has two sons - an older and a younger one, only they can run for the new leader and each of them can become a ruler after the death of his father, as long as he gets more votes than his brother.
