[b]RACE NAME:[/b]
[b]Name: [/b] Cygon
[b]NOTICEABLE/ SPECIAL RACE PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION:[/b] 
[indent][i]Unlike those that dwell above, the Cygons are the inhabitants of the land below. As such, they have lost many of their surface traits and acquired those that prove vital to their new home.  

[b][u] Sizes and Cooling: [/u][/b]
The Cygon males are average around 1.2 meters in length (from head to tip of tail), 75 cm in height (from head to tip of fingers), and weight around 65 kg when completely dehydrate. The females are bigger when compared to its counterpart, around 1.6 meters in length, 90 cm in height, and weight roughly 75 kg when fully dehydrate. The skin is similar to rubber, highly flexible and smooth when submerged in water but will quickly shrivel when left in dry areas. Beneath the skin is multiple small water pockets which provide a cooling system as well as allow the Cygon to operate a much longer time without the presence of water. To further capitalize on this trait, the Cygon are able to manually providing water for specifics organs by contracting or expanding their liquid vessels that are distributed across the body. This is an enclosed system, which means there are only a few ways in and a few ways out. (If a Cygon is overheating, it could pop all of its water pockets to lose the excess heat but risked of dying for dehydration)

[b][u] Breeding [/u][/b]
The Cygon is a strange species. They stand at a pitchfork of 2 races. They are warm-blooded, yet lay eggs. They have a fairly developed neocortex but do not have completely developed sweat glands. Their eggs required to be in an environment with high moisture to properly develop. They feed their infants with their own toxin which serves as milk for the infants. 

[b][u]Feeding the young and the adult [/u][/b] 
On a side note, the Cygon’s develop a neurotoxin that blend with their saliva. Outside of using this toxin as a tool for hunting, the Cygon also use this to cover and feed their infants with their saliva. In fact, this will be the only source of protein that the infants will be able to break down during their first few months after birth. When these infants reached their second years, their immune systems will be well developed enough to be an omnivore like their parents, feasting upon animals corpse, tree roots and barks, mosses, and a multitude of underground insects. At the age of 8, they will enter their quick growth spurt, where the Cygons required the most energy. The female will be able to reproduce at the age of 10 while the male will be able to reproduce at 9. Through sheer luck, a female could live up to 50 but she could no longer breed. In contrast, a male could live up to 70 and still remain sexually active until the day he dies. [/i][/indent]

[b][u]Vision and other sensory systems [/u][/b]
Due to their diminutive eyesight, which serves no purpose but to distinguish the difference of day and night, the Cygon feels this world in a much stranger way. Their ears are located on both sides of their heads, offering a 360 degree of hearing. Their gustatory system is very sensitive to finding water or picking the smell that is left behind from other animals. So, they don’t smell the odor. The Cygons taste the odor. And, as you can expect, the olfactory system of the Cygons create their vision. As a matter of fact, the olfactory system of the Cygon is so strong, it is totally possible for them to even tell the taste of something without actually eat it. They see red because it tastes spicy. They see green because it tastes sour. To the Cygon, only a handful of matters is black. Even light has its taste (No, the Cygon don’t taste light. They taste the microbes floating freely, thus making it seems that light has more than one taste.) 

How about their sense of touch? 

They are painless. Actually, the Cygons only have a small number of nerves that are responsible for pain distributed on its upper section. The initial hypothesis was that there was no need for the Cygon to develop it. This hypothesis, however, did not stand when examining the tail of a Cygon, which is beaming with nerves that are responsible for pain and vibrations. 

And here is the most unique trait that is only seen in the Cygon, their usage of water pockets.

The systems operate based on three factors: pressure, the body's ability to control and expand the liquid vessels, and the friction caused by movement. If something, a spike, for example, pops the water pockets. The water would begin to escape, making the vessels near the water pockets to enclose itself and preventing more liquid from escaping the Cygon. The skin near the popped water pockets will begin to shrivel in accordance with the enclosed liquid vessels. As a result, this would make the blood vessels and the nerve in this area to be packed tightly. Without the water acting as the lubricant, the now shrivel skin will begin to exert more friction upon the packed nerves and blood vessels. Thus, through the screaming of the discomfort of a specific area and a loss of the minuscule amount of water, the Cygon’s upper body is able to sense its environment. But, this also explains why the smaller pockets of water are usually located at the front of the Cygons while larger pockets are usually located near the hindlegs and along with the tail’s muscles.

[b]POPULATION:[/b] 
[indent][i]12[/i][/indent]
[b]RACE BEHAVIOR:[/b]
[indent][i]Highly territorial once settled, the Cygons are notorious for its ferocious when dealing with bypasser. A group of Cygon can usually be found inside a cave or a complex tunnel system - imagine a larger tunnel system of the badger. Most often than not, the group would be led by the oldest female. Usually, the young female would go out to hunt, while the males are left behind to guard the infants or their territories from unwelcome guests. This is due to the fact that Cygon lays eggs and not pregnancies. Another factor that prohibits these males from joining the hunt is due to their rather small number in the group. Generally speaking, a group of Cygon would usually consist of only four males. And in each patch of laying, a male to female ratio is always at least one to two. These males would be tasked for protecting all the eggs, nursing the young; cleaning the dwellings; and patrolling their territories. The oldest female, the leader of the group, is tasked with ensuring the mother to be able to deliver her eggs.  [/i][/indent]
