## History and Society

In the middle of the caste system of the planet Terradino, Vaxasaurians populate the surface of Terradino living very simple Stone Age lifestyles. They live in tribes in small villages and are known locally as “*Ground Shakers*”.

Although intimidating in appearance, they are a very kind people. They spend their days roughhousing and building spires for Pturbosaurians (Skyskimmers).

At night, they must go on the defensive against their natural predator, The Tyrannopede. Vaxasaurians greatly fear the Tyrannopede, and it is only thanks to the Skyskimmers that they have been able to survive against them. Vaxasaurians use every part of their predator's remains when the Pturbosaurians are able to kill a Tyrannopede; their hides are used for clothing, bones for building materials, such as tools, and their meat for food. For every Tyrannopede killed, the Vaxasaurians hold a feast, celebrating the survival of their tribe and to thank the Skyskimmers for their selfless assistance. For their service to them, Vaxasaurians offer the Skyskimmers anything in their capability in return. Taking advantage of this, Skyskimmers demand homes reaching high into the clouds.

## Etymology
