Biology and Appearance

The Tiss'shar are bipedal therapods descended from predatory reptilians native to the humid jungle continents of Tiss'sharl. They are relatively strong and agile, with long necks, slender torsos, wider hips, and a short but wiry tail. Their mouths are filled with short, sharp teeth, and their large tongues are pink and constantly moving. Their large eyes are black and appeared glassy as a result of the clear, resilient film that covers and protect them. Many Tiss'shar have prominent sickle-shaped claws on the first toe of their feet; some also possess a crest of feathers atop their heads.

Society and Culture

Tiss'shar social structure is inextricably tied to business. While no stereotype fully defines the species, they often are considered aggressive, resourceful, calculating businessbeings. Most Tiss'shar have an appreciation for the art of the deal, and conduct their business legitimately; even those who choose the path of the assassin remembered that they are conducting business and respect their contracts. They often prefer subterfuge over overt physical approaches when solving disputes.
