Name of Race: Rokthan

Pic/Description (either one, but both is preferred): A race of snakelike creatures covered in scales and fins of various sizes and colors. Average height including frills/fins is about 1.5 feet. Some members of the species may have stones or gems naturally lodged in their skin.

Racial Characteristics (things specific to the race): The Rokthani have the ability to glow in the dark after absorbing energy from the sun. Their glow may change in color depending on their mood, but most have a warm orange-red hue. Having no arms or legs, the Rokthani have evolved to be incredibly handy with their mouths. An ancient proverb once said: "Only two things could solve the Rubix Kube of A Thousand Tears. Its inventor, and a Rokthan with a few hours to kill." Rokthani typically burrow in the ground and on the side of cliffs. Rokthani are very small, only about 1.5 feet high counting their frills, so any species attempting to enter their dwellings would find themselves cramped to say the least. They lack gills, but can hold their breath for about six minutes (on average) underwater and are highly maneuverable in such an environment. Along with the ability to swim in water, the Rokthani are capable of slithering through sand and loose soil. This acts as a quick getaway, but any equipment must be left behind. Not only that, but their makeup will be totally ruined! Rokthani are carnivores.

Race Bio (personality, etc.): The Rokthani are highly religious, and very social... ...with their own kind. Other races are held in very high suspicion and treated as a possible threat to their health. That being said, diplomatic relations are not impossible. So long as one acts honorable and accepts the culture of the Rokthan peoples, they would find themselves with a very capable, yet somewhat xenophobic ally. Festivals are common, and highly rambunctious. Weekly gatherings under the beating desert sun can often result in violence. Rokthani music typically consists of vocalizations and simple percussion such as grass tufts and wooden rods. More complicated instruments are particularly difficult to play for somewhat obvious reasons.

Location on Map: The southwestern end of the desert on the east side of the mountain range.

Techs (specifically those not already given): Living in the mountains have given the Rokthan a decent array of mineral based tools. Such as simple knives.
