| - | Rolaan are short and generally scrawny by mammalian standards, with smooth scales making them seem thinner than species with fuzzy hair sticking off of them. Females tend to have bigger hips but not always. Rolaan do not have breasts. They also have poor internal heat regulation, and often resort to using enchanted bands to keep their bodies within comfortable margins. | + | Rolaan are short and generally scrawny by mammalian standards, with smooth scales making them seem thinner than species with fuzzy hair sticking off of them.

Rolaan do not naturally possess breast tissue however exceptionally well fed, corpulent rolaan may develop fatty masses over their pectoral muscles which are visually similar to breasts.

| - | Rolaan have arms roughly one and a half times their torso length, and short digitigrade legs with thick, muscled thighs that keep them low to the ground and very bouncy on their feet. Their hands are four fingered (three and a thumb) but are capped with very thick and hard, nigh calcified claws meant for digging. | + | Rolaan have arms roughly one and a half times their torso length, and short digitigrade legs with thick, muscled thighs that keep them low to the ground and very bouncy on their feet.

The exact colouration varies from type and Rolaan to Rolaan, but your basic ones tend to be grassy or earthen tones with patches of bright colouration about the face. Males tend to have brighter colourations on their stomachs and inner legs, but otherwise look fairly similar to the females. | Rolaan are covered in scales, all very smooth and polished to the touch.

| + | As previously mentioned, Rolaan are lacking in the vision department, and they have fewer taste buds than humans, owed to their mostly meat diet.

| + | === Magic === | ||
| + | Rolaan are innate magic casters, and much of their ability thrives on their use of the rings. The bands, both a cultural and biological necessity, oftentimes serve as a focus for their magic and as their belief system. | ||
| + | |||
| + | === Psionics === | ||
| + | While Rolaan are capable of psionics, they have no tradition of it due to the prevalence and usefulness of magic in their society. So, more often than not, a psionically sensitive rolaan may go their entire life without realizing it. | ||
