Gerudo

Physical Description
Gerudo are a humanoid race descended from the Akkalans, and share ethnic relation to the Sheikah, Ordonians, Hylians, Calatians, Labrynnians, Horonians, and Arcadians, as well as the ancient Wind Tribe, Cobble, and Lokomo, all being members of the same race descended from the mythical Firstborn. Additionally, the Twili, share heritage with this race. The Gerudo are much more similar to human beings than their Elfin cousins, notably boasting rounded ears, like the Ordonians. Much like their southeastern cousins, this is a topic of scorn and mockery by their pointy eared kin, to the point many Hylians refuse to even acknowledge the Gerudo as of the same ancestry as themselves. Gerudo typically boast dark skin, golden or brown eyes, and almost universally red hair. Gerudo men are typically very large compared to women, standing 1.8 to 2.15 meters tall.

Molded by scarcity and warfare, the Gerudo are traditionally a harsh, cruel, and proud people, doing whatever is necessary to survive. While this has led to be seen as duplicitous and violent raiders, thieves, and slavers by their neighbors, they remain a resourceful, innovative, and endlessly hardy people. They are experts at utilizing and preserving the meager resources of their, typically living in efficient, compact settlements with intricate water systems and carefully cultivated gardens. These adobe settlements are built with defense in mind, boasting narrow streets and large flat rooftops to allow archers to harass invaders.
