Tran

The Tran were mammalian omnivores. With their slitted eyes, triangular ears and short, thick fur, they were somewhat feline in appearance. Although they were very broad and muscled, they were not strong, due to their light, hollow bones. Their long arms ended in four-fingered hands. The Tran's three-toed feet had long, curving claws that acted as skates but also retract upward, with considerable effort, to allow them to walk on land. A small single claw on the Tran's heel acted as a brake. The Tran moved over the icy surface of their planet by wind-skating. Broad, membranous wings stretched from their hips to their arms, spreading as the arms were lifted to catch to wind.

The surface of Dextra was covered with a shallow, frozen ocean dotted with archipelagos of small islands. Most Tran lived in small island communities. They traveled widely across their world on their claw skates, propelled by the wind in their wings. Other groups of Tran lived a nomad-like existence, moving in a horde across the eternal ice and descending on the settled islanders to demand tribute of goods and food.
