Description:
Mutanda is a rolling land of grasslands, jungles, and natural wonders. The Horansi are carnivorous hunters who are divided into
four distinct sub-species. They share some common characteristic. They are bipedal, although run using all four limb for speed.
All Horansi are covered with thick hair of varying coloration, dependent upon subspecies. The Gorvan Horansi have a thick mane of
hair trailing down the back of their skulls and necks, while the Kasa Horansi have thick, striped fur and tufts of hair behind
their great triangular ears.
All Horansi have excellent vision in low-light conditions, but only the Mashi Horansi are nocturnal. Horansi have an atypical
activity cycle, with alternating peroids of rest and activity, normally four to six hours long.
Horansi sub-species can cross breed, but these occurrences are rare, primarily due to cultural differences. The Gorvan Horansi
are an exception, and have been known to forcibly take wives from other Horansi.
Despite the industrial development being carried out on Mutanda by such corporations as BlasTech and Czerka, most Horansi
communities find it more satisfying to retain a primitive and war-like lifestyle. They don't want to unite their people; instead
they are manipulated by petty criminals, local corporations, poachers, and powerful tribal leaders. Offworlders occasionally come
to Mutanda to hunt the Horansi for their gorgeous pelts.
The best trackers on Mutanda are the short-haired Treka Horansi. They are the most peaceful of the tribes, as they are safe from
most hunters and Horansi wars in the mountain caves where they dwell. The Treka Horansi do not abide the hunting of other Horansi
and will take any actions necessary to stop poachers. Male and female Treka Horansi share a rough equality in regards to
leadership and responsiblity for the tribe and their young.
The Treka Horansi are the only ones who have allowed offworlders to develop portions of their world. They are very protective of
their hunting areas.
Treka Horansi are the most peaceful of the various Horansi races, but they will not tolerate poaching. They are curious and
inquisitive, but always seem to outsiders to be hostile and on edge. They make superior scouts and, when angered, fierce warriors.
