Banywa

Banywa (banny-wah) is the collective term for the vulpine species of Holt Junction / Banywat. This includes the Banbeyu, Jirrig, Kafroy, Moyresk, and Roggra.
== Biology ==
Banywa have an affinity for water, owing to the prevalence of oceans on their homeworld. They are omnivorous, but often have a preference for fish. Their digits are partially webbed.
They are slightly above the average Human's strength and stamina, but also slightly shorter. They range from 4'3" to 5'11," seldom taller than 6' (1.6m to 1.8m).
Internally, they possess five-chambered stomachs; a large, two-chambered organ serving the purpose of intestines; two hearts (primary and secondary); strong legs; a long, ropy organ serving the purpose of a liver and kidneys; and a number of other organs foreign to Humanity.
Their skeletal structure is also quite complex, displaying remarkable endurance; as a result, a Banywa will rarely, if ever, break a bone within their natural life, even in high activity.
Another peculiarity is that their lungs possess both alveoli and gill structures, allowing them to breathe above and below water.

== Subspecies ==
The similarly fox-like Midenacs of Nataresh, while being a separate species, have exhibited genetic similarities to the Banbeyu. It has been speculated that they were a sample stock taken by an unknown precursor species many thousands of years ago, transplanted to Nataresh, and modified to thrive in its environment.
