Crhubai
[species]
Pronunciation: (CREW-bai)
Homeworld: Crhubal
Empire: Crhubain realms
The Crhubai are a proud species of warriors, hunters, and explorers. On their homeworld, their society is structured into clans, and has a strict honor code governing behavior in both war and peacetime
Physical description
Crhubai have human torsos and chiseled facial features. Their hairline extends halfway down their back. Since their code requires that their hair not be cut, many Crhubai braid or gather up this hair. These braids can extend down well past the stomach in older Chrubai. Their ears are deer like, slightly larger than human ears, covered in fur, and typically have darker markings along the outer edge. Some sub-types of Crhubai have horns or antlers protruding from the head or forehead, which appear on both genders
From the waist down, the Crubai have ungulate bodies, four legs, and hooves. These lower bodies exhibit a wide array of features. These features are detailed in the Sub-species sub-section. All Crhubai have five chambered stomachs for digesting plant matter

Relations
The Crhubai have good relations with many of the other species of the Ardemare galaxy due to their strict code of honor, which requires honesty when dealing with allies and honorable enemies. Most see the Crhubai as reliable and predictable. Not all view the Crhubai favorably, particularly those who are or have been enemies of the Crhubai empire
Adventurers
Some of the clans are more nomadic and some even take jobs as mercenaries. Apart from this, there are many reasons why a Crhubai would leave their clan. Pilgrimages are common and several are explicitly to be taken alone, especially when a young Crhubai comes of age. Journeys of self-discovery and temporary exile are both prescribed by the Crhubai Code
Sub-species
Crhubai are grouped into two general categories: Aven and Udda. The most obvious differnce between the sub-species is size and the sub-type characteristices they exhibit.. Within these groupings there are three sub-types
Aven
Aven (AY-ven) Crhubai are the smaller of the two sub-species. Their torsos and overall build are slighter, and their lower bodies can resemble antelopes, bison, or deer. Aven recieve a different bonus based on their sub-type, noted under Variant Bonus. Antelope subtypes have two horns protruding up and back which can be curved in several ways. Bison subtypes have short horns that are curved and can face forward or back. Deer have antlers which do not shed but grow more slowly. In all three subtypes, both genders have horns or antlers
