Otudo

The Otudoes are a Velterrian race, best known for their peaceful nature, advanced skills in navigation, and incredible swimming abilities.

Physical
An Otudo typically stands at around ten feet tall, and has no hair atop its egg-shaped head. Most Otudoes have enchantingly yellow eyes, and particularly long arms.

Clothing
Otudoes tend to wear very little. Typically, a male Otudo wears a tunic-like garment which is usually white, whereas female Otudoes wear a dress-like garment of the same colour.

Characteristics
Most Otudoes are extremely peaceful beings, and have no intention of being part of any feud that goes on in the world of Velterro. They prefer to keep to their Otudo Camp s, living happily with their friends and family.

Otudoes also tend to be very gentle (despite their size) and are known to be very kind to passers by; often leading travellers out of trouble, and to safety.

Otudoes are very educated on navigating complicated forests such as the Forest of Balmor, and have been known to own maps of their own creation showcasing the detailed networks of paths and rivers of the forests (although not all Otudoes live in forests, they are still all very skilled in navigation).

From birth, Otudoes love the water; whether that be swimming in a river, or in the ocean. They are also very skilled swimmers, and (for their size) are very fast through the water.

Diet
Otudoes are vegetarian, so their diets typically consists of various plants such as small trees, and they eat very often (predominantly due to their large size).

Language
Most Otudoes speak the language of Magua, a language which is only spoken by their race. Magua is a very slow language, and tends to consist of very long words, even for the simplest phrases.

Traditions
Ever since Otudoes have been around, it has been part of their tradition to swim. They love to swim, and are also very good at it.

Habitat
An Otudo typically lives in one of two places; a forest, or the beach. They tend to live in Otudo Camps, where they live peacefully among other Otudoes.

History
Originally, the Otudoes lived peacefully in the Forest of Balmor. However, a disturbance in the forest forced many of them to evacuate, and flee to another province. The majority of the Otudoes swam to the island of Guttusas, which lies just south of Nerontes. When the disturbance of the forest was at an end, some of the Otudoes left to go back and live in the Forest of Balmor, while others decided to stay on Guttusas.
