YACURUNA


 

YACURUNA

Yacuruna (YAK-A-ROO-NA) The term is derived from the Quechua language, yaku ("water") and runa ("man").

The Yacuruna are an aquatic race that originates from Croatoan. They found themselves relocated to the Amazon rain forest to one of the mysterious black lagoons located there. They exist in a tribal culture, preferring to remain isolated from other societies. They are ruled by Chief Amauta. He has a shy princess named Api and a close advisor named Qawa.

They are a society of warriors and farmers. They have used their natural strength and sharp talons, as well as proficiency in tool making, to carve a whole labyrinth of networking underground caves accessible from under the lagoon. They farm various underwater vegetation for consumption, as well as live on the meat of the various local fish life.

They have domesticated crocodiles, and the warriors prefer to use black ones for travel sometimes as well as to frighten oncoming threats. They have also domesticated boa constrictors. This is due to their limited telepathy. They obviously have their own language, but mostly communicate with their telepathy.

They have the natural ability to heal others and themselves. They cast limited illusions to protect themselves. Basically, creating a perception filter so others don’t notice them and at times casting an illusion to appear physically different, hence why the legends claim they have fur or backwards feet. Those illusions are to scare away unwanted visitors.

They have wide mouths full of razor sharp triangle teeth, wear loin cloths of seaweed and shells, pierced fins and water proof tattoo marks. They can completely turn their heads around to look backwards, like in the legend. Certain tattoos and piercings mean certain things.
