Verilian Species Guide

I don't have too much to say about the verilian yet, as they are the newest out of all the sapient species. They are most commonly in nomadic groups of 20-40 individuals, the traditions and language of each varying significantly. Their horns and fins grow as they age, weighing them down slowly. They have musculature that accomodates for this, thickening with age, but leaving them slow. Most death during old age is caused by disease.

They eat a mix of fruits, plants and insectlike creatures, the ratio varying between seasons. They have three fingers, two and a thumb, but only have two toes similar to cloven hooves. They are not great tree-climbers, but cliffsides and steep hills are no problem, as they have a great sense of balance.
Young Verilian will butt heads with their growing horns, slowly building up the bone bit by bit. The most active Verilians have very thick horns going into adulthood. Others will press their heads together as a sign of understanding or truce, and adolescents will end their headbutting matches with a similar gesture, or even greet each other with a firm knock to the head. The specifics vary from clan to clan.
