Dromar

The Dromarii are mammalian cameloid humanoids; walking on two large feet with three thick toes, having thick four-fingered hands, and a light coat of reddish orange to brown fur that helps regulate body temperature in the extremes of desert heat. They are largely omnivorous, primarily subsisting off of small desert animals, insects, and various species of cacti and cactifungus (and their fruits) from their native world of Typhon. They also possess seven meter long prehensile tongues used for catching prey and grabbing fruits that grow in hard to reach spots in rocky outcrops and crevices. Dromar are a naturally tribal people with a powerful sense of communal loyalty to anyone they consider part of their tribe, and to this day prefer to live their lives as nomadic hunters.

Dromar society and traditional spiritualism centers around the tribal group dynamic: in many ways they are not unlike the ancient Samaritan and Bedouin cultural groups of Earth. Those tribes enjoying times of plenty are expected to be generous and charitable to those who are not, with minor skirmishes and livestock raids being common but outright warfare between groups being rare and generally the last resort of the utterly desperate. Even after being introduced to such concepts as "clothing" and "modern weapons" and "nationalism" by the Galactic State, a fair number of Dromar live by the old ways when they did not have the resources for things like textiles, gunpowder, or landships. Many Dromar follow the old ways of ancestor and nature spirit shamanism, though more progressive groups sometimes mingle these with religious concepts from the other races- Modern Paganism and Neo-Abrahamic concepts are common.

Dromar set their Survive skill to 0, do not require water but once every two weeks in extreme environmental conditions, and have a 7 meter prehensile tongue capable of tool use and grabbing targets and objects which will regenerate within d4 weeks time if cut off.

Dromari have two major languages, Wiruk (North Sands Tongue) and Saruk (South Sands Tongue). The languages sound sort of like the words used in the Homeworld games, only that's the entirety of their language.
