Embodying a ferocity that rivals that of their jungle home, the Ag'amaa have a culture as vibrant as their scales.

Appearance and Traits

Although all Lepdo'ami possess scales, the Ag'amaa possess scales different from those of their brethren. Where most Lepdo'ami can successfully camouflage by blending into the environment, the Ag'amaa instead shine with vibrant colors that are nearly impossible to miss. Beyond that, many individuals have large spines or membranes on various parts of their bodies, which often allow for an almost intimidating appearance. The exact size and shape of these displays is unique for each individual, and no Ag'amaa is the same.

The Ag'amaa often use their bright scales or membranous frills as an intimidation tactic, being able to convince potential threats that they are larger and deadlier than they really are. Paired with their exceptional agility, an Ag'amaa could disorient and disappear as quickly as they may have appeared.

Culture and Beliefs

While there are Ag'amaa tribes throughout nearly all of Q'Farrun, a majority of them have chosen to settle in and around rocks. Whether at the base of the Obsidian Peaks or at a rocky outcrop, most Ag'amaa homes are built from makeshift bricks or even within hollowed out boulders. Some settlements will erect defensive walls around their home, allowing for an extra line of defense to protect the tribe's Amn'toc. While locations such as these are easier for the Ag'amaa to defend thanks to their agility, it does often lead to multiple tribes seeking a home at the same place. As such, many Ag'amaa tribes are conglomerates of multiple tribes, banding together to seek refuge from the dangers of the region.

The Ag'amaa believe that their distinct appearance signifies the courage and aggression of their Draconic ancestors, and they embrace this belief wholeheartedly. Alongside being taught how to wield a weapon, Ag'amaa youth are also expected to overcome and abandon feelings of fear. These developing warriors are often sent into the rainforest to prove their courage, a process that culminates in the Tix'cofa: A ceremony that requires a new warrior to wear woven clothes with stinging insects inside of them. If one can bravely endure the pain of this process, then they are officially recognized as a warrior.
