The '''Zythyns''' are a widespread sapient species across [[Aylothn]] and beyond. They are one of the most populous species, extending into many nations from their birthplace of [[Lorokira]]. They are credited for creating the [[Lowzyol Federation]], rising from Sedrua's grasp after the [[Zythyn-Sedruan War]]. Ever since their freedom, Zythyns have had a turbulent history, being responsible for the [[War for Peleunsk]], and [[Commonwealth's Eclipse]]. They are also known for creating the [[Uspayador Plutocracy of Etheaunsk]], in turn causing the [[Samutan-Uspayador War]] and the [[Nisrine War]]. As such, Zythyns are viewed as a relatively war-like species, with an affinity for aggression and expansion throughout its history. |
|||
=='''Appearance'''== |
|||
Zythyns are considerably hairy and stout, standing on two front legs and one longer hind leg carrying a lengthy torso. They have two arms, each equipped with four bony fingers used for grabbing and picking. Each of their legs have three short toes, which help with balance in Lorokira's high gravity environment. Zythyn legs can move relatively quickly, though most Zythyns approach a natural top speed of 30 km/h. Primarily, it helps with leverage on terrain and provides balance along with the toes. |
|||
Zythyns are usually laden with layers of blubber and fat, which keeps their bodies warm. Evolution on Lorokira led to this trait on their bodies, making Zythyns appear paunchy. Under their blubber is a dense, hard muscular system that helps with supporting the body. Zythyn bones are much the same, with dense marrow supporting surrounded by a strong outside. |
|||
=='''Biology'''== |
|||
==='''Subspecies'''=== |
|||
While Zythyns have numerous descendants, there are two major categories of them. They are named the ''Lorokirr'' (Original) and the ''Chakirr'' (Slender) Zythyns. Those of Lorokirr descent tend to show most characteristics of a baseline Zythyn, that being short and blubbery. They are more muscular and rigid in shape, though they have low stamina and metabolism. Those of Chakirr descent are usually skinnier, taller, and have less fat and fur. They have greater endurance in comparison to their Lorokirr counterparts, though they fare poorly in higher gravity environments. Additionally, they usually have less strength than Lorokirr Zythyns. |
|||
Descendants of both Lorokirr and Chakirr Zythyns have sprouted following the advancement of genetic editing and colonization. As such, many unique species of Zythyn have appeared over many millennia. Most of them share the common characteristics of three legs, hairy bodies, and blubber. Interbreeding between subspecies is possible as well, though pregnancy is typically much harder to achieve. |
|||
==='''Respiratory System'''=== |
|||
Zythyns breathe with their large, flat noses which lead down a tract to their lungs. Their sense of smell is rather damp, though they can discern a total of several billion odors from one another. Their throats are strong and lined with a layer of fat to protect against Lorokira's cold air. Bloodflow to the throat's walls is more prevalent well, which warms up the throat and the body to an extent. Zythyn lungs have a thick, protective lining that prevents harm done by high atmospheric pressure. They have an above-average capacity, being able to hold their breath for two minutes without discomfort. |
|||
==='''Digestive System'''=== |
|||
Zythyns take in food through their mouths, which hold a long, barbed tongue designed to latch on to food and scrape meat off bones. Their teeth aren't necessarily sharp, though they are naturally proficient at gnashing and gnawing on tough objects. The teeth are primarily used for tearing apart tough flesh and bone, but they can also be used to crack open shells of nuts or fruits. Zythyn jaws are also able to crack through weaker bones, allowing one to access nutrient-rich marrow/ As a result, Zythyns are omnivores, though most prefer a lifestyle with plenty of meat. |
|||
Zythyns have a complex digestive tract, designed to take in and extract the nutrients from hard-to-digest foods. Zythyns have two stomachs, used for taking in as much nutrition as possible. Stomach acid is also potent, able to dissolve most substances in its presence. Since Lorokira's environment is frigid, fruits and nuts are typically encased in hard shells or other tough exteriors to protect them from nature. Fauna is also protected with thick skin, fat, and other tough insulating materials. This led Zythyns to go down a gritty style of eating. In history, many Zythyns have eaten objects which are normally non-edible. Grass, bark, bones, and even certain types of rocks have all been consumed by Zythyns. |
|||
==='''Senses'''=== |
|||
Zythyns have a peculiar sense of taste, able to detect the smallest traces of flavor. This has led many to eat items that may be thought of as bland. Furthermore, their sense of taste extends beyond the mouth, as Zythyn stomachs are lined with a large number of taste receptors. These receptors are very much dull in comparison to the tongue's however, since they can only detect sweet or bitter flavors. |
|||
Zythyns have large, bulbous nocturnal eyes which can detect wavelengths in the visible and ultraviolet spectrum. Their eyes are adaptive as well, being able to see darker colors across a wider spectrum. Bright lights are not a problem either, as Zythyn pupils can contract to about 0.5mm. Moreover, their eyes are very much sensitive to movement and can pick up activity that most beings would overlook. |
|||
Zythyn smell, like their sense of taste, is significantly enhanced. In prehistoric ages, it was used to detect the smells of animals, plants, and each other. Exceptional Zythyns can pick up and track a scent for many kilometers and can remember said scent for months or years. Scent is also a crucial factor in taste, as using both can enhance the flavor of food to a noticeable degree. |
|||
Hearing for Zythyns is specialized to hear higher tones. The minimal hearing range is 150Hz, though the highest can go above 45,000Hz. This may be a result of Zythyn communication, since they speak with clicks and high beeping noises, combined with basic high-pitched phonetic sounds. Many animals across Lorokira also tend to have high-pitched vocal cords. This is thought to have helped ancient Zythyns detect nearby prey if they could not go off scent or eyesight. |
|||
The feeling of touch is the dullest to a Zythyn. They have a high pain tolerance and can deflect most blunt force attacks with their fat, blubbery bodies. Most of the time, pain receptors activate if a sharp object pierces the skin, or if any blunt force bruises muscle or lower layers of skin. Casual touching is rather numb to a Zythyn nonetheless, being not as keen as that of most sapient species. |
