Grumm: Difference between revisions

Their powerful jaws are filled with thick teeth, and end in a beak capable of crushing nearly anything it can close around. When standing, the Grumm use their long, thick tails to lean on, and tend to stand on average almost 3 meters tall. The Grumm exhibit negligible senescence and continue to grow slowly throughout their lives, regularly living for two to three centuries before their bodies become too large to bear the strain. The oldest Grumm on record lived to be 338 years old, and stood 3.4 meters tall.

===General Behavior===

The Grumm are capable of speaking most languages, but their thick vocal cords give them deep, gravelly voices, unable to produce higher-pitched sounds. Since their faces are thick and largely immobile, they rely on expressive body language to convey emotions when speaking to other races. The Grumm have a reputation as a stolid, reliable race that places a strong emphasis on community, though to the Grumm the word implies an intricate code of behavior inherent within their society that they preserved when they joined the greater Tahora Whai community as a whole. To them, community means the strong protect those weaker than themselves, the wise offer advice to those less wise, the healthy provide for the ill, and those who have will share with those who have not.
