The Temminskis of the Twin-Bleached Lands (Tehm-min-skee)

The Temminskis species are small, pangolin-like creatures that make their home in the deserts of Scylla. They have evolved to be highly adapted to the conditions found in their environment, using an exoskeleton made up of thick armor plates to protect themselves from heat and predators. This armor has also enabled them to become expert burrowers, able to tunnel through the sands and earth of their home in search of lost technologies or underground sources of water. Temminskis are also known to think about problems in three dimensions due to the way they travel around obstacles by burrowing beneath them. This helps them navigate the harsh environment of Scylla with ease, allowing them to rest underground during the day and cache items for future use. As solitary nomads, they wander from place to place restlessly in search of food, water and lost treasures. These nomadic tendencies have made them a mysterious species throughout Scylla, with few outsiders having ever encountered them or been able to form meaningful connections with them. Despite this, the Temminskis are adventurous, friendly and loyal when encountered, always willing to help those in need. Finding a true friend in a Temminski is an experience that one never forgets, with their unique intelligence and perspective providing valuable insights into the natural world around them.
This makes them both a fascinating and adventurous species, one that is well worth exploring for those brave enough to venture into the deserts of Scylla. Whether it's searching for lost technologies or uncovering hidden caches of water, a Temminski companion can be an invaluable asset on any journey through their hostile homeland.
