Anouki[edit]

Physiology[edit]

An average anouki stands at a height of only 5' 5", but has a bulbous body much wider than that of a hylian or gerudo. A typical anouki's face is particularly round, almost spherical. Facial features include flat noses, pink cheeks, and beady eyes that altogether make them seem doll-like.

Small deer-like antlers sprouting from their heads, but these horns are mostly vestigial. Although few anouki take to the life of adventuring or fighting, those that do make use of these antlers as surprisingly effective weapons.

The bodies of anouki are well-adapted to the frigid environments in which they live. Compared to most races, a typical anouki has a large amount of dense fat in its body to provide warmth. Consequently, an anouki has a wide and squat form, with short legs that appear to waddle whenever it walks. Despite their bulbous size, anouki are excellent swimmers, and their short legs end in webbed feet that are useful for both pushing water and gripping tightly to ice or other terrains.

Males of adult age frequently grow white-colored facial hair, but there are otherwise minimal differences between male and female anouki. The race reproduces sexually in a manner similar to hylians.

Society[edit]

It is said anouki never lie, which in many cases might be true. That isn't to say they are kind— indeed, anouki don't sugarcoat the truth, and their honesty can come off as rude to those unaccustomed to their norms. As they are not accustomed to deception, anouki are often easily deceived.

Anouki are very prone to acting like other anouki to fit in. They are quick to alienate outsiders even from their own race. Despite their cliquish nature, anouki are not inherently cruel and are particularly averse to violence.

These Arctic-dwellers usually have an easy time surviving in their habitats. Few monsters are native to the frigid islands on which they prefer to live, yet fishing yields plentiful food for their lazy lifestyles. As such, anouki rarely actively engage in hunting or sport and instead occupy themselves with intellectual pursuits. Their cultured villages usually have a significant emphasis on trends, fashion, and education— including the practice of minor magical spells learned through study and practice.

Anouki almost universally wear thick coats woven from wool or animal hide. This practice is so frequent and the coats are so uniform that outsiders often believe this garb is part of an anouki's body.

Anouki Names[edit]

Anouki names are usually not specific to males or females. A typical anouki name is two syllables, and one almost always ends in either an "oo" or "oh" vowel sound.

Examples: Aroo, Bulu, Dobo, Fofo, Gumo, Honcho, Kofu, Kumu, Mazo, Nobodo, Noko, Yefu, Yeko

Anouki Traits[edit]

Age. Anouki reach adulthood by the age of 20. One can live to an age of 120.

Speed. You have a base walking speed of 25 feet and a swim speed of 25 feet.
