Taukal

Proud creatures with the lower body of a cat and the upper body of a humanoid, the taukal are fiercely intelligent and hardy adventurers. Despite their intimidating physical appearance and presence, taukal fancy themselves collectors of stories and, more importantly: riddles.

Civilization and Culture

Common Dress Code

Typical taukal wear clothing that accents their fur, this typically means richly dyed silks or flora that they have picked personally.

Interspecies Relations and Assumptions

Since taukal are often aloof and believe themselves above other races, most likely because they are much larger than the other races and many ancient monuments in Bazaar feature cat motifs. Amazingly, the taukal think highly of the Pehnu, as they both believe they come from a lost kingdom far across the desert.
