Biology and Appearance
Capable of living for centuries, Dowutin are unique in that they never stop growing. Originating from a harsh, frigid world, they evolved to tower over their prey, their sharp claws and thick skin the only weapon and armor they needed to thrive in such an environment.
By their fifth centuries, Dowutin could grow so massive that their footsteps shook the ground and their loud voices warned all prey away. This is both a blessing and a curse, as their colossal stature made them hardy and strong, but also slower and less able to hunt.
Society and Culture
The Dowutin are native to the frigid Core World of Dowut near the Unknown Regions and spoke the Dowuta language. Young Dowutin are forced to fend for themselves from an early age, most members of the species, at least those who survived, quickly learned to be skilled hunters. Their size and strength made them prized as hired muscle, but most Dowutins' pride dissuaded them from such work, as they viewed other species as weak.
Because of their lifespan and unique quirks of biology, many dowutins remain active for centuries and gain recognition as powerful warlords, enforcers, or sometimes even crime bosses.
