## Short Description

Leporids are a humanoid rabbit race, and are secretive and hardly come out of their hidden communities. It is hard to tell what a Leporids gender is by looking at them, but from the information gotten from some that were willing to give them, they have a wide range of them including but not limited too, Women, Men, and Non-Binary.

## Anatomy, Appearance, and Behavior

### Anatomy

* Leporids have large bunny or rabbit ears on their head that swivel around to allow them to hear long distances. They tend to be on the smaller side of height, ranging from 4 feet to 5 feet, although there have been some recorded to be 6 feet tall, but these are an exception not the rule. They have strong rabbit legs that help them hop from place to place.

### Appearance

* If one were to ignore the shape of their legs, and the ears on their heads, some of the Leporids look like humans. Because of their ability to live in so many different biomes their bodies have adapted to have darker or lighter skin. Like rabbits and bunnies they also have different fur, so to say. Their hair, ears, tails, and sometimes their full bodies come in a limited range of colors. The most common are Cream, Brown, White, and Black & White. The more uncommon are Black, and Pepper & Salt (Gray). While in their secret communities, we have been told that those that have fur covering their entire bodies, rarely use clothes, as no visible genital parts are shown. But those that do not have fur all over do cover those parts, but hardly anything else. Out in the open, with other races they do wear clothes, but hardly shoes, although they do wear them on occasion.

### Behavior

* Leporids are secretive people for the most part, keeping to themselves, but have been known to give out little bits of information that gives nothing to finding their community. Those that are able to become close friends with a Leporid have said that in general they are a happy people, and love to be in groups.

## Social Structure

* From what we have learned about the societal structure of the Leporids they are a family run society. Their oldest members, some reaching 150 years old, are respected, and often tell stories and give wisdom to their younger family members. Those aged between 50 and 80 are the ones that make the most decisions, being the older parents of the family and having grandchildren, and maybe some grandchildren themselves. The younger parents, some as young as 20 all the way to 40, watch over the children, keep them in line and help with protecting the community.
* Many of their communities are hundreds of people large. Family, and extended, and more likely than not, they have ties to other close by communities.

### Traditions

* Every 5 years, nearby communities will meet up and mingle with activities and food.
* Other traditions are not highly talked about and are undisclosed. \*

### Origins and History

* It is said that the Leporids were made when the God Quuezatel took a rabbit and molded it. First with extremely long ears, large eyes, tail. Finally settling on a humanoid figure holding true to the rabbits ears, tail, and larger to scale haunched legs.

### Religion

* Their primary religion is The Green Pantheon, with Quuezatel being the main deity that they worship. But they worship many different Deities in all other pantheons.
