Ahurans
Agile Sand Masters
You find anything yet camel-guy?Far to the west of the continent rests the great Desert, home of Greater Arbeka and a few disparate sovereign states. Within them thrives a proud and enduring race called by many names, the most common being Ahuran. They present themselves as tall and tailed bipeds with short hair covering their body and a long face. Their recorded origin resembles that of the other sentient races, with departed Human souls returning from beyond the veil to inhabit this new form.

Basic Information
Anatomy
Ahurans have a tail that serves as a reserve of fat and water, allowing them to survive for long journeys even in harsh environnments. It is also a great tool for balancing oneself.
The bottom of their feet has been reinforced and focused like a camel's. Their ankles have been elevatedat about half the distance between the knees and the toes. It made their posture seemingly unstable, like the satyr of Old World legends.
An Ahuran's arms are only slightly longer than a human's but their fingers have retained a human shape and size.
All Ahurans have bronzed skin, from beige to dark coffee, and posess entirely curly black hair. Their faces haven't changed much from a humans, though they do present more protusing features. The most obvious change in facial feature is their horizontal pupil.
Genetics and Reproduction

It takes 10 months to gestate a newborn.
Ahuran females have no periods, like demons.
Growth Rate & Stages
It takes a while before an Ahuran can stand on their feet and be mindful of their tail's existence. (about two years), they take longer to separate from their mother's milk too. But after 5 years a dramatic increase in muscular and squeletal growth occurs whichenables a freedom of movement unlike other humanoid species.
Ecology and Habitats

Perception and Sensory Capabilities
An Ahuran's field of view is about 120° thanks to the faint protusion of their features and the horizontal pupils that increase peripheral vision.
Their nose openings are tighter than humans'. There are also more hair inside to protect respiration during fast movements or sandstorms. As a result, their sense of smell is a bit limited.
Their ears are smaller than their eyes and have a more tubeous shape. Directionnaly they have more trouble identifying where the noise comes from than flat-eared species. However, they can detect sounds from further distances and from a lower pitch.
