Description:
The Multopos are tall, muscular amphibians that populate the islands of tropical Baralou. They have a thick, moist skin (mottled
gray to light blue in color), with a short, but very wide torso. They have muscular legs and thin, long arms. Trailing from the
forearms and legs are thick membranes that aid in swimming. Each limb has three digits.
The most important function of the tribe is to raise more Multopos. Because of their amphibious nature, Multopos can only mate
in water, and their eggs must be kept in water for the entire development period. The water-dwelling Krikthasi steal eggs for
food.
The Multopos have had many positive dealings with offworlders and are peaceful in new encounters unless attacked first. They
approach curious visitors and attempt to speak with them in a pidgin version of Basic.
The Multopos have quickly adapted to the galaxy's technology. About the only off-world goods Multopos care for are advanced
weapons, such as blasters. While generally not a warring people, they understand the need for a good defense. The traders were
more than happy to trade blasters for precious gemstones. Some Multopos tribes with blasters have actively begun hunting down
Krikthasi beneath the sea.
Special Abilities:
Aquatic: Multopos can breathe both air and water and can withstand the extreme pressures
found in ocean depths.
Membranes: Multopos have thick membranes attached to their arms and legs, giving them a
+1D to swimming.
Dehydration: Any Multopos out of water for over one day must make a Moderate staminacheck
or suffer dehydration damage equal to 1D for each day spent away from water.
Webbed Hands: Due to their webbed hands, Multopos suffer a -1D penalty using any object
designed for the human hand.
