Fazi (Retreat)

The Fazi are a a horned humanoid species from the world of Jorvon in the Delphic Expanse, a planet of low mountains and deep valleys linked by thousands of rivers. It is believed that they were descended from a race of primates that lived in the mountains of Jorvon, and that their horns were a genetic mutation that proved useful in fending off predatory birds.

The Fazi were one of the more unusual races in the galaxy, with a dramatic gender dimorphism in appearance and temperament. The males were docile, non-aggressive creatures, completely hairless, with typically red-tinted skin and a pair of large horns growing from their heads. They took great pride in their horns, and groomed them quite regularly.

Female Fazi are covered in thick fur that range in color from brown to white, and have only small vestigial horns. They were aggressive by nature, and tended to be dominant in their culture, being the only ones allowed in government and politics.

In addition, the teeth of the males were all sharp incisors, but the females also had molars and prominent canines. One in fifty Fazi males had two sets of teeth, however, having an inner set of sharp "male" teeth and an outer, retractable set of "female" teeth. In primitive times, such males were used as solitary scouts by Devaronian tribes, since they could survive on either meat or plants. Males also had an extremely long tongue though whether females shared this trait is unknown.

Their bodies were denser than most humanoids' and as a result they were heavier than their appearance would tend to indicate.
