  • Average Lifespan: 50 years
  • Estimated Population: Rare
  • Skin color: N/A
  • Hair color: N/A
  • Description: Groltans are a canine like species that live in the frozen wastelands of Rhigar. They have thick fur coats and long, bushy tails, even more so in the females. Their coats are somewhat iridescent and range from deep to light blue to several shades of purple.

PHYSICAL INFORMATION

  • Average Height of Adults: one meter
  • Average Length of Adults: one and a half meters
  • Races: N/a
  • Force Sensitivity: Non-Sensitive
  • Distinctions: Groltans are a canine like species withe a Matriarchal society. Males tend to be leaner and longer and have deeper gradiants in fur coloration compared to the females. Females tend to be a bit longer and have bushier tails than the males as well as two long strands of hair that hang down to just about the midway point of their front legs. Their fur often emits a pulsing glow as an intimidation tactic and a cautionary tactic depending on the situation.

Strengths:
  • Fast. Their paws have adapted to the harsh elements of Rhigar and have evolved to gain traction on the icy sheets they hunt on, allowing them to reach speeds that most other species wouldn't be able to.
  • Strong. They have a bite force that can snap bone into powder, often necessary to get through the thick hide of tauntauns, their primary prey.
  • Incredible night vision

Weaknesses:
  • Bright lights. They spend so much time in the dark that sudden exposure to bright lights can extremely disorient them and is the most effective way to scare one off.
  • Extreme heat. There bodies have evolved to retain body heat to survive in the extreme cold of Rhigar so when they are exposed to extreme heat

CULTURE
  • Diet: Omnivore. Groltans prefer meat but given the harsh environments they live in they have adapted to feed off of what is available in the Valley.
  • Communication: Barks and Growling
  • Technology level: none
  • Religion/Beliefs: N/A
  • General behavior: They have a pack mentality but the Matriarch is the alpha. They are very territorial creatures and can be highly aggressive to invaders.

HISTORICAL INFORMATION
Not much is known about Groltans since they are rarely seen outside of the Brakand Valley and dwell deep inside the darkened cave networks. From the limited information found in abandoned Chiss archives on the planet Groltans once had a much greater population but were actively aggressive towards Chiss colonization efforts. They actively stalked and hunted the Chiss and even appeared to study their movements before launching coordinated attacks on Chiss compounds.

Groltans are extremely smart and show impressive problem solving skills and show some knowledge of tactics, often working in two groups; one as a distraction and the other carrying out the main goal which is often some form of prey.

As a security precaution the Groltans were hunted until they were believed to be extinct but between then and the abandonment of Rhigar by the Chiss their numbers have started to grow once more.

Vale Vynar Vale Vynar Hello! Let's begin.

REQUIRED:
1.
Origins: Rhigar
Please provide a link here per the template.

2. You are missing a required section in Physical Information.
Distinctions: [Describe the unique physical traits that define what they are and set them apart from more common species like humans. Be sure to include any differences between male and female, as well as variations between different regional groups if any, and characteristics that denote a matured or aging specimen.]
Please fill this out ASAP as instructed in the template.

SUGGESTIONS:
1. Give some explanation for your strengths and weaknesses. What happens when they are affected by light and heat? Are they blinded and suffer heatstroke? How fast and strong are they relative to other creatures in their optimal conditions? Like a standard wolf or something greater like a Nexu? How good is their night vision exactly? Several feet, yards? Add some fluff and make them extra intriguing.

2. While not much may be known about them, there has to be something! Give some history to them. Origins or their first encounters with other species. They are your creation so give them the basis for history that can be expanded on in threads!

Hello, just a catch-up on the status of this submission. It's been quite a bit since the final request, so I have to put in the request that something happens with this sub or it will have to be put into archives for inactivity.
