Ithklur

Page history last edited by Maksim-Smelchak 9 years ago

Ithklur (Sophont) Synopis

The Ithklur are the most feared warriors known to man. Ithklur are extremely large, carnivorous, superficially lizard-like humanoids.

 

Quasi-reptilian client race of the Hivers. The Ithklur marines of the Hiver navy are one of the most feared military units in Charted Space.

 

The Ithklur are not mentioned in the Gateway Quadrant materials, but are a part of mainstream Traveller canon.
 

Ithklur (Sophont) Physiology & Environment (Ecology)

The Ithklur are big, carnivorous beings. They are superficially lizardlike, warm-blooded, and mass about 200 kilograms. They reproduce sexually and come in two genders, but apart from their primary sexual characteristics, there is no significant difference between males and females.

The Ithklur have two hearts (one arterial, one pulmonary), a short digestive tract, and a highly efficient urinary system.

They have a good sense of smell with a useful directional component, and an infrared sense organ. Centered in the face beneath the eyes (where the nose is in Humans), it relays its information to the visual cortex where it is integrated with the visual spectrum data. Otherwise, Ithklur senses are comparable to a Human's.

Their skeletons, joint articulation, and limb proportions are very different from a Human's. Ithklur cross sloping or rough terrain in a semi-crouch, using their arms as much as their legs. They have sharp, needle-like teeth and functional claws on both hands and feet.

Their skin is lightly scaled, blue, green, or an intermediate blend/combination pattern. Skin color holds no social significance for them, although they do appreciate its lovely aesthetics. Of course, the Hivers keep trying to encourage the eradication of one hue or the other, but without success.

A female Ithklur gives birth after a 17 month gestation to a well-developed infant able to walk and eat solid food. The child does not exit through the pelvic girdle, but through an anterior opening in the abdomen.

Ithklur (Sophont) Psychology & Philosophy (Mindset)

To an Ithklur, Vargr plunder is a walk in the park; Aslan warrior spirit is the babbling of a toothless child. Other races make such a fuss over violence - why not just do it and enjoy it?

To the Hivers, the Ithklur are their trained, elite shock troops, lovingly perfected by millennia of manipulation and social engineering, no finer tool has ever been fashioned.

But as far as the Itklur are concerned, they have the Hivers just where they want them. Who wants to be a boring taxi driver anyway? If the Hivers want to pretend they're in charge, what does it really hurt, so long as the leave the Ithklur alone?

Who is manpulating whom?
