Zora

Physical Description
The Zora are a tribe of aquatic based humanoids who are lead under a monarchy. They generally make their homes in watery caves and waterfalls that are unlikely to freeze, due to their dislike of life on the land. Outside of water their skin tends to dry to an uncomfortable point, making them attached to the water. The Zora are also fans of the Arts and have been known to collect art and music in many forms, as well as create splendid armors that allow others to visit them below the surface of the water. Zora are a militarized people, trained in the combat arts. Most know their way around a polearm or sword.

Zora can be found in many shapes and sizes, and have many color variations. Traits all Zora have are a long and flexible extension of their head, powerful flippered feet and arms, and webbed hands. Patterns appear on the Zora’s bodies similar to fish of all types. They tend to grow taller than most humans, ranging from 5’8" to 6’10".
