Description:
Native to the planet Shili, this humanoid race distinguishes itself by the immense, striped horns - known as montrals - which sprout from each side of their head. Three draping appendages ring the lower part of their skulls. The coloration of these lekku evolved as a form of camouflage, confusing any predator which might try to hunt the Togruta.

On their homeworld, Torguta live in dense tribes which have strong community ties to protect themselves from the dangerous predators of their homeworld. The montrals of the Togruta are hollow, providing the Togruta with a way to gather information about their environment ultrasonically.

Many beings believe that the Togrutas are venomous, but this is not true. This belief started when an individual first witnessed a Togruta feeding on a thimiar, which writhed in its death throes as if poisoned.

Special Abilities:
Camoflage: Togruta characters possess colorful skin patterns which help them blend in with natural surroundings (much like the stripes of a tiger). This provides them with a +2 pip bonus to Hide skill checks.
Spatial Awareness: Using a form of passive echolocation, Togruta can sense their surroundings. If unable to see, a Togruta character can attempt a Moderate Search skill check. Success allows the Togruta to perceive incoming attacks and react accordingly (by making defensive rolls).

Story Factors:
Believed to be Venomous: Although they are not poisonous, it is a common misconception by other species that Togruta are venomous.
Group Oriented: Togruta work well in large groups, and individualism is seen as abnormal within their culture. When working as part of a team to accomplish a goal, Togruta characters are twice as effective as normal characters (ie, they contribute a +2 pip bonus instead of a +1 pip bonus when aiding in a combined action).
