Tetramand

**Tetramands** are a species from the planet Khoros.

## Appearance

Tetramands are a buff and bulky species. Most Tetramands are red, but blue and brown ones have been seen. Tetramands have spikes on their arms, and sometimes on their heads. They have two front toes on each foot. Tetramands appear to have an additional set of smaller pectoral muscles below their primary set to help move their second set of arms. Each one of their four hands has three fingers and a thumb. They also have four eyes.

Female Tetramands have hair. Male Tetramands have hair that turns gray as they get older, but most of them lack hair.

Younger Tetramands are skinnier than adults and have disproportionately larger eyes and heads.

Tetramands have an average height of 10 feet and can grow to be as tall as 15 feet high. Female Tetramands are usually taller than the males.

## Abilities

* **Enhanced Strength -** Tetramands have immense strength that they can lift objects several times their weight.
* **Sonic Clap -** Tetramands can smack their hands together to send a powerful shockwave in the direction of their choosing.
* **Enhanced Durability -** Tetramands have high durability due to their tough and thorny skin.
* **Enhanced Reflexes-** Tetramands have very strong reflexes, as they are capable of catching missiles midair and redirect them in a single motion.
* **Shockwaves-** Tetramands can create shockwaves by smashing their fists onto the ground, which are strong enough to send their enemies flying.
* **Heat Resistance -** Due to their tough and thorny skin, Tetramands are almost fire-proof and laser-proof.
* **Wall Climbing-** Tetramands are capable of climbing walls by pushing their fingers into them to make hand holes.

## Weaknesses

## History and Society

Tetramands are a warrior race. Generally speaking, they are fairly aggressive and favor violence. However, Tetramands are still extremely emotional creatures, just like Humans.

Because female Tetramands are traditionally stronger than males, they are in turn considered the better warriors, and due to this, if a male Tetramand manages to defeat a female Tetramand, the male becomes the female's chosen husband. As a Tetramandian custom, the bride collects four items before a wedding: "Something conquered, something bruised, something severed, and something blue."

Tetramands are very strict in the upholding of their laws; an offender whose crime was merely jumping the turnstiles at an auto show was buried up to his neck in sand. They are not big on exceptions, even to other law enforcement officers like the Plumbers.

Tetramands have a unique way to ultimately decide court cases; fight. Tetramands get to fight with their accusers in a battle arena and the winner of the Tetramand Trial of Combat wins the case. There is nothing in the rules that states that the person must stay a Tetramand.

Tetramands are a spacefaring race that are a part of galactic society. They may either settle on any number of worlds and raise a family or live their lives on starships that rarely return home to Khoros, if ever.

Tetramands have very close knit family relationships, even fighting to the death to defend their kin.

## Etymology

A combination of "tetra", meaning four and "mand", meaning arms.
