Walren (Wall-ren)
Walren are hulking creature with fur covering large portions of their bodies that typically stand between 8-12 feet tall. They were bioengineered to be the perfect killing machine, enlarged adrenaline production glands and thick solid bones without gaps making then highly efficient at their violent purpose. Additionally, to fuel the ever-churning Walren war machine, Walren reproduce exceptionally quickly and live quite a long time unless killed, which happens to be quite often. While there is evidence of older races and civilizations in Avendora, the Walren are quite possibly the oldest major race still around along with the Kadar. Due to their sheer enormity of age the Walren Empire has accumulated, they have built up billions upon billions of soldiers as well as colossal ships that make other vessels appear as minnows beside a whale.
Basic Information
Anatomy
Walren are bipedal humanoids, standing upright at an average of 10 to 12 feet. Their bones are solid and mostly form in sheets over their vital organs, sacrificing mobility for much added protection. They also posses 2 hearts and only require 1 to function. Several more organs in Walren bodies have backups as well. In addition, however they only have the minimum amount of organs to survive. usually brown coats of fur help insulate them from the cold, allowing them to survive in temperatures far below zero. This fur typically surrounds their entire head aside from the face, with sideburns often forming down their cheeks. Fur also grows across their broad shoulders and goes halfway down their backs and arms, resuming again at the waste and covering their legs and the tops of their feet as well as hands.
