Belkuit

Belkuits (bel-KOO-it) are short, mild-mannered beings from Boiaw, a lush and notably beautiful planet at the end of the ZharEnBo Arc trade route. They share the world with their genetic cousins, the Grunprags.
== Appearance ==
Belkuits are naturally stocky and stronger than they look, and females are almost the same size and height as males. The common coloration is black with a white stripe from the nose to the tail, and a white underbelly, though other colorations exist. Both races also possess a set of long, thick bristles on either cheek that curl a good ways behind the head; Kaotawas have one set and Tavkays have two. Their head hair is rather rigid, almost like soft bristles. Female hair is especially full in the back, giving their heads an oblong appearance.

===Subspecies===
They come in two subspecies: Kaotawa Belkuit and Tavkay Belkuit (kao-TAH-wuh and TAV-kay). Kaotawa Belkuits have a forked, skunk-like tail, and rabbit-like ears. Tavkay Belkuits have a forked, club-like tail, are taller, and possess longer, pointy ears.
===Internal organs and maturity===
Like their cousins the Grunprags, most of their organs seem to be knotted bulbous structures, and their digestive tracts possess 4 stomachs (one less than Grunprags) instead of a single stomach with intestines. They have the ability to eat almost anything organic without becoming sickened due to their extensive digestive, filtration, and immune systems. Despite their biological defenses, they can accept organ and limb transplants surprisingly well.
Belkuits mature at the age of 19 and can live as long as 150.
