The ZeHethbra of ZeHeth are a well-known species that has traveled throughout the galaxy and settled on a number of worlds. The ZeHethbra species has no less than 80 distinct cultural, racial and ethnic groups that developed due to historical and geographic variances. While many non-ZeHethbra have trouble distinguishing between the various groups (to the casual observer, the ZeHethbra seem to have only five or six major groups), ZeHethbra themselves have no problem distinguishing between groups due to subtle markings, body language and mannerisms, slight changes in accent, and pheromones.
ZeHethbra are tall, brawny humanoids, with a short coating of fur, and a small vestigial tail. All ZeHethbra have a white stripe of fur that begins at the bridge of their nose and widens as it stretches to the small of the back. The width of the stripe denotes gender; wider stripes are present on females,while males tend to have narrow stripes, with slight "branches" running out from the main stripe.
The color of the ZeHethbra varies. Generally, black fur is the norm, though in the mountainous regions in the northern hemisphere of ZeHeth, brown and even red fur is common. Blue-white fur covers the ZeHethbra from the southern polar region, and spotting and mottled coloration can be found on some ZeHethbra of mixed lineage.
The ZeHethbra are naturally capable of producing and identifying extremely sophisticated pheromones. Indeed, a large portion of the ZeHethbra cultural identity consists of these pheromones, and many ZeHethbra can identify other ZeHethbra clans and history simply by their scent. In times of danger, the ZeHethbra can expel a spray that is blinding and unpleasant to the target. |
