Vridin

Vridin are the sentient species that inhabits the world of Tamed. As the sentient species, they've developed technology similar to our Bronze Age, with simple writing and both smelting and shaping of softer metals. With their druids, technology, and determination, Vridin have created civilizations with rich culture, writing, and architecture. They come in a number of variants, which mostly depends on the biome that they inhabit, as they've developed different nations in various biomes, namely the desert, mountains, forest, coast, plains, and boreal biomes of the supercontinent they reside on, Xanglu.

Appearance: Vridin stand at around 107 cm (3'6") to 122 cm (4') tall. Coming in a wide variety of colours, they can be more neutral colours such as browns or greys, or more vibrant colours, such as greens and blues, depending on their gender and region. They are furred, with beak-like mouths at the end of their snouts. Their hands and feet are clawed, and they have digitigrade legs, with their body naturally leaning forward, with their tails acting as a counterweight. Their tails are particularly fluffy compared to the rest of their body, with muscles that allow some motion along the length of their tails.

Physical Properties: Their clawed hands and feet make them adept climbers, while their lighter frame makes them more nimble, with their shorter stature making hiding spots easier to find and use. Vridin have very good eyesight, being able to focus on small details across long distances, and can even see well in the dark. Their claws can be used as weapons, though properly crafted weapons are much more effective, both due to their durability and their reach. Their tails help them keep their balance even in precarious positions, such as clinging to a branch, often assisted by the claws on their feet.

Gender Ratios and Gender Dimorphism: Vridin have an even gender ratio, with a roughly 50/50 split between males and females. It's rather easy to distinguish between males and females, as there are many distinct differences. Firstly, male Vridin are significantly more vibrantly coloured than females, often sporting blues, greens, reds, and anything more vibrant. Meanwhile, females tend to be far more neutrally coloured, often browns and greys instead of the vibrant colours of the males. Secondly, male Vridin are significantly shorter than females, averaging around 107 cm (3'6"), while female Vridin are around 122 cm (4') tall on average. Finally, female Vridin are much more inherently muscular and powerfully-built than males, which resulted in them taking on a role as hunters while males are pushed into roles of servants, scribes, caregivers, and entertainers.
