Azou (ah-zow)
The Azou are the People. Up until their first contact with the Vahobu explorers (I Know, right? What a contradiction!) The Azou believed they were the only tribes left. The fought amongst each other centuries ago, but have broken into smaller family-groups now, each choosing it's own thoidh (tree trunk in Nonǐk) where they craft their home.
Basic Information
Anatomy
Physically, they are tall, nearly twice the size of the Vahobu, whom they call Pa'azou or the little people. They are lean and lanky with more quick-twitch muscles lending them increased agility and very little bulk. They are innately curious and nearly fearless, though prone to anger. Their nearest species that they are related to is the mundane ancestor of the Grass Cat. Their hairs, which cover their body, tend toward various colorations and range the gamut from earth-tones, to extremely bright colors emerging in some bloodlines.
The Azou have a single head bearing two large almond shaped eyes; a flat, broad nose with two nostrils in their leathery rhinarium covers only the cartiledge tip of the nose; An Azou's mouth is broad, and filled with small, sharp teeth meant for tearing apart meat; finally, all Azou have faces covered with downy, barely visible hair, and most have naturally-occuring patterns in their downy coats. The Azou sport tails and have the necessary supporting musculature and nerve system to have these tails be a prehensile appendage.
