Saragoitus

## Politics.

Most Saragoitus, alongside the LoCel are a part of The Saragoitus Horde and as such control 300 systems, including some twenty seven habitable world, and also meaning they are one of if not the most powerful species in known space with only humanity coming close and even they only control one hundred systems.

To handle their massive empire the Saragoitus and LoCel have one capital (Saragoit proper) alongside three "provincial" capitals: Tex, Arulizial, & Itiru each of whom commands a roughly equal slice of the pie and is commanded by a "grand Khan" as it translates to in Terran, and a council of LoCel Elders all of whom report to the "supreme Khan" on Saragoit who commands the entire species. Arulizial: Arulizial is an ocean water with only submerged continental plates and the tips of ancient mountains being the only "land" to survive on which has caused the local Saragoitus to evolve to a more aquatic form like Earth's marine iguanas.

## Culture

Saragoitus in WBtS believe as a general rule that romance should be between two (or more) reptile-people who would be able to properly feed the large brood size that they produce (in the distant past few Saragoitus would survive to adulthood out of thousands of eggs laid, and although now clutch sizes have decreased and the number who survive to adulthood has increased it is still a serious resource burden to have children) which means that before even thinking of finding a partner, if you are a young Saragoitus in your sub-species mating season, you got to make it clear that not only can you *hunt* you can do it *well* which means both "males" & "females" (as aliens they don't have strict equivalents to human men and woman) will often times leave large piles of Carrion outside of their huts, to the disgust of the LoCel assigned to chaperone the particular Saragoitus tribe (LoCel are the species in charge of supplying the Saragoitus with technology and also serving as behind the scenes leaders) who will have to put up with rotting meat no matter the planet they are on at the time until breeding season is over. However once the individual Saragoitus are satisfied with the size of their piles, it is time for them to find a partner, who will usually be whoever has a pile as close in size as possible to each other, if an odd number have the same sized piles they will take turns battling each other until there is an even number with the same size pile.

## Biography

A large reptile like species, covered in a large number of different coloured scales, although in individuals, they tend not to vary much, if at all. They live on the world Sargoit, a world bout 25% bigger than Earth, with one main continent, and a large number of islands nearby of a variety of sizes. Saragoitus live mainly in the large desert that covers around 80% of the main continent. As such they can live for a long time without water or food.  They have four total eyes, two front facing, and two are on the rear sides, this gives them 360 binocular vision, useful for the carnivores that they are, however they are able to eat plantlife. They have broad and heavy jaws idle for eating the large herbivorous reptiles they share land with, which are non sentient. They possess a total of three different morphologies of body form, Hunter, Gatherer, & Raider, with Hunters being massively built at between on average 7-11ft tall, with for the most part only the chieftains surviving long enough to reach the upper limit of that range, as the species grows constantly so the oldest become even more dangerous. In addition, a Hunter's main purpose is to collect larger beasts for food, unlike the small lizards and rodents that have evolved/were transported onto Saragoitus worlds. and to be the main attack force of a Saragoitus raid. Whereas Gathers as they have been named, are much lighter than their Hunter Brethren, for the most part topping out at 7ft tall with a few exceptions, and usually waying less than 200lbs, in addition their senses of sight & smell are much stronger to aid in gathering edible plants & small animals. However they rarely go far from their tribes settlement. And then the raiders are almost the same as Gatherers in terms of build However with the exception of massive leathery wings that allow them to fly, however they are rarely allowed by the other saragoitus to settle in their small towns & villages. With them only being accepted during raids upon other sentients which has lead to their name.
