—Description—
Native to the southern tropical marshes of Oestand, Ookinds are strange creatures, with the male and females both respectively baring features similar to that of an ape and aquatic creature.
The males of this species are known for their bulky and muscular upper body which resembles that of a gorilla, while from their torso down is akin to that of a squid or octopus. Because of this the male Ookinds, unlike their female counterparts, are bound to the waters of their marshes.
The males are four-armed, making them easily distinguishable from the females. They are physically powerful creatures.
The female ookinds are mainly land dwellers that meet their males at the spaces between marsh and land to mate. Their smooth looking yet rough skin are likely to have traces of hairs riddling their bodies. Female ookinds are more chimp-like in stature and are more humanoid in appearance compared to their male counterparts, usually being only just a few feet taller than an average homosapien.
The females also have tails that are able to function separately to their arms and legs. Though rather evasive and shy during encounters which mistakes them being docile, during their mating season, they become far more aggressive—even more so than the males.
This is because it is the female ookinds who challenge one another for mating rights with a chosen male.
—Diet—
Ookinds omnivores, their diets consisting of the low hanging large fruit that they share the marshes with, as well as smaller aquatic creatures. In some instances the females will eat one another after winning their mate.
—Behavior—
The male ookinds and are extremely territorial and even more so in the presence of the offspring and females. They can be found lurking just under the surface of the marsh waters where they lumber about. When threatened or feeling as if they are being challenged for their territory, they swell their torsos with water to appear bigger as a warning, though they are already naturally large creatures.
The female ookinds are more often found patrolling the marshes or hunting for food. And since they are adept at climbing, they are sometimes in the massive trees of moss that they nest within. The females also travel in groups of 3-5 while hunting. When frightened or need to escape, they are able to produce a toxic gas that could be compared to a cup of cyanide in effect.
