# Types

Khongs are an offshoot of Sapiens that allowed the beings to grow larger usually around 10' - 20' in height.

## Magus Khong

Due to different concentrations of Mana in the universe or deliberate changes by individuals to Khongs' DNA the Khong had an emergence of many breeds.

### Omi

Omi are a breed of Khong that are adapted to water. This breed is split into two subspecies:

* The first subspecies are the aquatic Bahari who are capable of living underwater in the coral reefs.
* The second subspecies are the amphibious Aquam that live within flooded biomes and can live in the water, or on the land.

#### Aquam

The Aquam are different breeds of Khong that adapted to live and exist in flooded biomes. These races have evolved to be able to traverse waist high water and breath underwater, though they do not necessarily live in the water.

##### Fadama

The Fadama are Khong that settled into marshland. Living in the marshland caused the Fadama to build elevated hut and interconnected floating pathways between the solid islands that are scattered throughout the marsh.

##### Lusak

The Lusak are a group of Khong that settle in a swamp or marsh that is located on the edge of a large body of water. Within these biomes forms a base of intertwined reeds and log that are covered in peat, this creates a floating "island" called a Jazira that the Lusak build homes on and use to set off into the large body of water to separate themselves from predators or large populations. Usually the Lusak build homes on the Jazira, but since the Lusak can breath underwater they will sometimes build their home under Jazira.

##### Paya

The Paya are a breed of Khong that settled into swamps. Due to the very nature of a the swamp Paya usually live in groups of three or less in an area, and do no normally live in close quarters. These Khong are more adept to battle since their main source of food is crocodiles and ***MMM***, but they do compete for food with the Neupasé. Though, on occasion the Paya have been observed to make peace with the Neupasé, protecting them and leading the smaller creatures.

#### Bahari

The Bahari technically contain two species of giants that live in the ocean.

##### Hanyohari

The Hanyohari are an offshoot of the Hanyokun that evolved to be the size of the Khong. Although they have the same DNA sequence that cause a Sapien to grow into a Khong, the Hanyohari are not actually Boshri.

##### Kataw

The Kataw are an offshoot of Khong that developed the ability to breath underwater and settled in the coral reefs of the ocean.

### Kopec

The Kopec are breed of Khong that inhabit rolling and level biomes like plains and forests. This species is split into two subspecies:

* The first is the Boju, a breed of Kopec Khong that inhabit woodlands and live deep within the forests.
* The second is the Taika that inhabit flat lands such as grassland, tundra, and deserts.

#### Boju

The Boju are a race of Khong that live as deep in the forests as possible. Some will build small villages of up to 10 citizens, while others will live alone with other Boju nearby. A rare few will choose to settle alone with no Khong for thousands of miles. These Boju are split between the types of forests they choose to inhabit.

##### Vaike

The Vaike Boju are Khongs that chose to settle in woods that were half as tall as they are. By being able to see over the treeline the Vaike are unable to get lost.

##### Reo

##### Genis

The Genis Boju are Khongs that live within massive woods that dwarf them, standing twice as high as the Khong. Most Boju Khongs choose to be Genis' due to it's safety and cover.

##### Rimba Boju

These troops are comprised of one male Rimba Boju, a harem of female Rimba Boju, and a litter of offspring. Rimba Boju will elect a female as the oracle, a role in which she is given hallucinogens to awaken a sight. this allows her to "feel" the immediate future of the tribe and "see" the locations of the enemies and prey of the village.

#### Taika

The Taika Khong are breed of Kopec Khong that inhabit flatland biomes. Three different breeds of Taika exist and differ in the climates that they live in.

* The first is the Nuuk, or the Taika Xeadas, that live in the tundra.
