Gran



Gran are beige skinned humanoids with large, black eyes on three eyestalks, short floppy ears on the sides of their heads and small horns on the tops and back of their heads. Gran have long, pronounced jaws ending in a tapered, almost cow like snout. They have 6 long fingers, ending in blunt, hooflike claws. There is also a sub-species of Gran that has stumpy fingers.

Biology and Appearance
Gran can easily be identified by their three eyes and their goat-like snout. Female Gran also have three breasts. Gran are also able to sense others' emotions and disposition by noting subtle changes in body heat and skin color. The Gran have excellent vision, able to resolve more colors than most species, and even able to see into the infrared. Gran have two stomachs, having evolved from herbivorous grazing animals who lived in herds on the mountains and highlands of Kinyen, surviving on the local Goatgrass, for which Gran have kept their taste. Gran chew and digest their food quite slowly, savoring the flavor carefully. A single meal can take almost an entire day to finish, but a Gran will often not need to eat for several days afterward.

A recessive genetic mutation sometimes causes some Gran to suffer from misshapen extremities, with hands and feet swelling to abnormal sizes. While not affecting the individual's ability to do finer work, the handicap nonetheless often results in social isolation. Gran scientists intently study the trait to attempt to find a cure.
