Appearance and Traits

The first thing that people notice with the K'amaa is, well, the fact that they aren't noticed. Their scales, unique among the other clans of Lepdo'ami, are able to change color. K'amaa individuals use this to their advantage, blending into their surroundings and easily remaining unseen. In the rare instances where they are encountered, they're distinguished mainly by their unique eyes, able to move independently from one another and look in two separate directions at once. Additionally, K'amaa may possess casques or horns, depending on the individual. K'amaa tails are also prehensile, helping them to climb trees while not being dexterous enough to wield tools.

The K'amaa spend much of their time in trees and are proficient climbers thanks to this. They also possess long, sticky tongues, able to grab items or interact with objects from a distance. Once an individual has done what they need to, they can then use their color-changing scales to hide in plain sight.

Culture and Beliefs

The K'amaa, while living all throughout Q'Farrun, are seldom seen due to their preference of living in trees. Using their climbing skills, many K'amaa find tree hollows to reside in or even just use branches to shelter themselves from the elements. Living within the canopies of the rainforest is a strategy that allows them to avoid conflict, keeping them hidden from potential dangers. As their people do not form tribes and instead live in smaller, familial groups, a life of hiding keeps them safe from foes who may form larger groups. This is especially useful when it comes to their hatching pools and Amn'toc, where laying eggs in a small tree hollow is much easier for a small group to defend. When that isn't an option, the K'amaa have been observed giving live birth to their children instead of laying eggs, a process that is treated with the same reverence as a hatching ceremony.

The K'amaa, compared to the other groups of Lepdo'ami, especially reclusive. While they aren't true pacifists, their people actually prefer to avoid conflict and only prepare what is needed to defend themselves from attackers. This perspective is what they claim ties them to the Dragons, reflecting the peaceful views of their ancestors. K'amaa children are taught to embody compassion and understanding from a young age and eventually head out on their own to try and bring peace to their corner of the rainforest. While admirable in a realm of constant conflict, it sadly is a belief that others can take advantage of.
