Kuthar: Difference between revisions

From the vast plateau capital of Vurthan Shaft to the cliffside spiritual outpost of Vash-Tul, the Kutharen thrive in a world of constant change, their red-eyed hunters and gliding gatherers watching over the canyons below.

* Enhanced Night Vision – Adapted for a world of deep canyons and twilight hunting, Kutharen possess highly sensitive eyes that allow them to see clearly in near-total darkness. Their large, red-hued eyes pick up faint traces of movement, making them skilled nocturnal foragers and hunters.

* Hooked Claws & Prehensile Toes – Their curved claws allow them to cling effortlessly to sheer rock faces, while their dexterous, finger-like toes enable precise movements for climbing, tool use, and harvesting.

* Rounded, Human-Like Ears – Unlike many winged creatures, Kutharen have small, rounded ears that sit flat against their heads. They rely on their heightened hearing and air-sensitive frills to detect shifts in the wind and approaching threats.

* Dust-Resistant Fur & Skin Frills – Their bodies are covered in fine, short fur that repels dust and sand, preventing buildup in the harsh, wind-carved canyons. Thin, flexible frills along their necks and shoulders help them sense minute changes in air pressure and temperature, allowing them to read wind currents before they take flight.

*Mesa Farming & Cultivation - The Kutharen are cultivators, using their height advantage to grow crops and farm airborne insects, which they harvest as a primary food source. They weave hanging gardens of drought-resistant fruiting vines, anchored to the rock with woven sinew and hardened resin. Swarms of hive-kept burrow gnats and nectar wasps are carefully bred in hollowed-out rock chambers, producing honey-like nectar that sustains both the insects and the Kutharen.
