Lukoi
Necromancers who have studied lukoi
extensively claim that lukoi have 15 more muscles than the average humanoid, and they build muscle bulk approximately
30% faster than other races. Most lukoi resemble wolves in their facial features, with a pronounced muzzle, sharp teeth,
erect ears, and bright eyes. Their fur usually comes in a mixture of steel gray, white, black, and brown and comes in all
manner of lengths. Some lukoi are downright shaggy and must spend a good deal of their time grooming their fur unless
they are willing to go around matted. Their eye colors range from icy blue to chocolate brown. Many lukoi, though,
resemble dogs in appearance, and nearly every breed of dog is represented in their lukoi counterpart. All lukoi have
longer hair on the top of their heads. For some, the hair is merely a longer extension of their fur, but others have a
full head of humanoid hair. Like all humanoids, some of that hair is curly and blond while others are black and
straight.
All lukoi have tails, though the length varies a great deal from 2-4 rands
long to merely a thum in length. In some cultures, parents clip a newborn's tail to create a clubbed appearance which
is considered extremely attractive. In 893 B.U., a dryad noble by the name of Darlen Jien tried to pass laws
prohibiting clipping in Troj. She claimed that it was a barbaric and cruel practice that was not only outdated by
caused the infant mortality rate to rise. Since one in 30,000 lukoi infants that get clipped die from infection, Lady
Jien was able to raise enough support for the issue to bring it to the Savants' Table. For three long years, the
issue was fought between the Savants, but the entire issue ended when Lady Jien's body was found in the jungles
near Troj with her lungs torn out of her body. The issue has not been raised again, and clipping has remained
a vital part of lukoi culture, especially in Troj.
