Kowakians originated on the forest planet of Kowak. To stay safe in a world of dangerous predators, the small and nimble creatures became adept climbers and learned to take refuge in the highest branches. Kowakians are very rare and semi-intelligent, and they often times mimic those around them. Because of their uniqueness, many have been captured and sold as exotic pets. Personality: Clumsy, curious, silly, almost constantly laughing, very fond of practical jokes and mimicry.
Physical Description: Small lizard-like humanoid with long floppy ears and a tail. Their big belly seems to offset their long, scraggly arms and legs.
Kowakian Homeworld: The forest planet Kowak Language: Kowakians speak Kowakese, though a few have learned to speak basic.
Example Names: Salacious Crumb, Diminius Gran
Adventurers: Because of their curious nature, Kowakians enjoy the opportunity to travel to new places. They love to discover things through personal experience, and they are always trying to be the center of attention.
