The Hanto are a race of aquatic humanoids.
==Unsorted Notes==
WARNING! The following text is entirely unsorted notes from the Flux Destiny Discord Server! This information will be reorganized soon!
The Hanto operate in family "pods" which are essentially "schools" (the technical term for seahorses is called "herds"... but i think they would find this term de-hantoizing) These pods are socially-constructed families that are voluntarily created. Like tiny villages so to speak.
So the family name is really your "pod" name.
The males do carry eggs after fertilization, just like seahorses in a special pouch. Though to be clear the males are larger and stronger than females in general, but when they're carrying eggs, the females often take the burden of protection of the society to ensure the survival of the eggs. Of course, not all males are carrying eggs at once lol... there's not a "mating season"
The Hanto are unique as there is strong gender-parity in their culture that arises from this reproduction dynamic... there's a strong sense of societal duty. This is why their pod structure exists
Hanto are very close-knit and loyal... they're temperamental, especially when facing any perceived threats. They form loyal bonds with friends even of other species after an initial "aloof" period
