Satyr

What else can be explored but the most profound thoughts around the communal bath?

The Satyr are the most prolific species of Parnathum, and their large white stone settlements crest many a hill and sport many a steam filled communal bath. With very little social mores around nudity and semi-nudity, the satyr is a being of casual touch and endless creativity.

Basic Information

Anatomy

Ranging between 4 feet and 8 foot tall, the species is actually a blending of the taller Ibexi and the shorter Kormos subspecies. With horned heads and long muzzle like lower faces, it is their furred digi-grade legs ending in hooves that make them visually distinct.

Their upper bodies are prone to a body hair distinctive from the fur of their lower half.

Genetics and Reproduction

Satyr reproduction is both robust and startling. A satyr can recieve biological samples from many types of humanoid beings, and their genetic makeup is robust enough that the child produced is always a satyr. This has resulted in many a mixed parentage satyr, though the genes seem to push things like colouration to the nearest satyr genetic marker.

Dietary Needs and Habits

Satyr are obnivores by design, but heribores by choice. Often incorporating eggs or milk into their diets, they see no trouble in resorting to meat should the local crops die or change enough that the seas of grain cannot be harvested. Their metabolism of plant matter is closer to the human palate, though from a Levis worldview - they are capable of digesting many Levis specific species of biomatter.

Additional Information

Social Structure

Satyr social structure, outside of the larger context of the cities and towns is very partner-centric. There is less a focus within the satyr about the family unit, and more about creating functional pairs. These pairs are not always romantic or sexual, instead, from very young, strong friendships dominate a satyr's life, with everything else secondary. Thus dating is less important until it is known that this new pairing can become more important than the friendship already existing.

The risk of unhealthy relationships are higher in the satyr, and unpaired satyr are seen as a little odd, but the community heals to partner off stray satyr, quite easily.

Facial characteristics

Thick lips are a feature of the satyr, as are full, eyebrows and facial hair - in all forms of gender expression.

Lifespan

200 years

Body Tint, Colouring and Marking

The 'human' part of satyr often trend to the lower olive skin tones of the tropical europe of the reader, with fur and hair colours in reds, dark browns, and blacks.
