Gen-Hitik

The Gen-Hitik are a race with the upper body of a humanoid race, which can range from human to Orcs, and a lower body consisting of a long, snake-like tail. The males of the Gen-Hitik aren’t able to reproduce, and because of this the race is dependent on finding willing humanoid species to mate with them, or more commonly, to abduct them and force them into breeding with the females. This humanoid male is shared through the clan or society, but the elders have first breeding rights. Children born to Gen-Hitik always have upper humanoid bodies reminiscent of their fathers, while their lower bodies always consist of the usual long, large tail.
