Name: Günel [g-uh-nal]

Homeworld: Gündiyar [g-uh-n-di-ash]
Language: [List common languages of this species]
Average height of adults: [In meters]
Skin color: Olive through to Ebony
Hair color: Browns and Blacks, sometimes Dirty Blonde
Eye color: Browns, sometimes Green
Breathes: Type I
Strengths: [Sun Touched] They have a very high tolerance toward heat, favouring warmer climates; to some, even the touch of an exposed flame will do no damage
Weaknesses: [Cold Blooded] When exposed to anything below a temperate climate the Günel will become sluggish, and could potentially die from hypothermia if they do not find a way to regulate their temperature
Distinctions: [Unique physical traits that define what they are]
Average Lifespan: [In standard years]
Races: Sarimsi | Tazira
Estimated Population: Limited to Gündiyar; Approximately ??, with over 75% belonging to the Sarimsi.
Diet: Mostly carnivorous, typically dried or spiced meats (spices cover up the taste of meat fouled by the heat); entomophagous, with delicacies including scorpions and locusts. Günel do not have the stomach for uncooked meat, and Sarimsi in particular have great difficulty digesting anything too fibrous. The few fruits which can be harvested on world are mostly inedible to the species in their natural form, with just one or two exceptions, and are mostly used to create wines or poisons. Cacti are a staple commodity, eaten for both their nutritious value and the hydration they provide, and are the only real fibrous source of food digested by the Sarimsi. Tazira, due to the fertility of the grasslands they call home, have a greater intake of fiber and keep communal farmland, however they have less of a stomach for spices.
Communication: Speech, Para-Linguistics, Body Language
Culture: The Günel have two distinct cultures, the Sarimsi of the Shifting Sands, and the Tazira of the Grasslands; both are nomadic, however the Tazira are known for spending months at a time in one place during the sowing and harvesting seasons. In contrast the Sarimsi are said to be ever-wandering, even during their sleep.
Technology level: Below Average: The Günel lack advanced technology such as blasters and starships, and thus are regarded as primitive. They travel by land, on foot or via living mounts, and utilize crude weaponry such as spears.

History: [Describe an abridged history. If your species is genetically engineered or Sithspawn, this is where to add links to the thread(s) where your new species was developed. A development thread, whether of creation or discovery, is required for all genetically engineered/alchemically created life forms being submitted to the Factory.]
