Turogkin Dominion

Biology
The Turogkin are tri-pedal creatures with smooth, slimy skin. Their bodies are somewhat gelatin-like, and their skin can be easily pierced or torn. They have thick legs, spherical bodies, and long slender necks which connect to their 'faces'. The 'face' somewhat resembles a hand. It has 3 protrusions resembling fingers, and a single eye can be found on the 'palm'. The Turogkin cannot be easily disected without losing massive amounts of important bodily fluids, typically resulting in death, showing that they are very fragile. They have no distinguishable skeletal structure, which is shown by the fact that they don't appear to have any real joints.

Most Turogkin have a bright green skin, though 1 in every 12 Turogkin are born with a greyish skin.

The size of Turogkin are greatly varied. Newborns are typically a mere foot tall and weigh a half a pound. Adults can range anywhere between 6 and 18 feet tall, though the former height is much more common.

Though they are hermaphrodites and reproduce asexually, they typically find one or more partners whom they feel they share a bond with.

They also have fantastic memory.

Diet
Turogkin will consume almost anything organic, from plants to animals, and have a natural immunity to most poisonous life forms.

History
The Turogkin have spent most of their history as tribals. They had very few tools, and very clumsily made shelters. This is in no small part due to their 'face-hands', which has an eye on the palm. Turogkin cannot firmly grip a tool without losing their sight. As such, they went through a sort of 'Dark Age' for centuries. Turogkin eventually adapted to this. This adaption was both social and natural. Turogkin began to cooperate with each other in new ways. One Turogkin will help to direct another when a tool needs to be used. The Turogkin use a great sense of direction to acknowledge where their 'hand' should go. This interaction became known as 'Spotting', and is an important part of daily life for all Turogkin. This cooperation is what helped Turogkin to adapt, expand, and advance as a species.

Religion
Most Turogkin share a religion in the belief of a god. The name of this god roughly translates to "Strength."

'Strength' is given this name because it admires the strong, and rejects the weak. Oddly, Strength is not considered to be visually similar to the Turogkin.
