Gerudo

Gerudos are a desert-dwelling folk. They are warriors by reputation, feared and respected in the countries they inhabit. A rather peculiar aspect of the Gerudo is that the race consists entirely of women. Long ago, a lone male was born every 100 years, but one hasn't been born for millennia.
Generally, the Gerudos have been shown to be a reclusive tribe that does not take well to outsiders on their territory. Even when they are more open to other ancestries, they often show disdain to men. They do not allow males to enter their towns, and sometimes make it illegal to sell men's clothing. Despite this, the Gerudos appreciate talent when they see it and do accept non-Gerudos (and occasionally men) among their ranks if they manage to prove themselves. Being a , they are well apt at combat, and have been shown to use weapons such as glaives, dual scimitar swords, and magic.
Archery and skilled horseback riding are highly regarded in Gerudo society. They also use Sand Seal⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣s, animals native to the Gerudo Desert⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣, to get around the desert.
