Quarryn

Diminutive, eyeless, tripodal, and sporting flora growing from their bodies, Quarryn are visually distinct even among omneuttians.

Quarryn all descend from the first three fraternal twins, when Quarrnyl laid the first egg. Over numerous generations the quarryn have undergone much physical change, potentially due to the way they reproduce.

The Quarryn government revolves around the Triumvirate, passed down from the original three quarryns, and their maternal deity Quarrnyl is normally worshiped on the same level that other Sentient Species worship their parent Deity, though there is a significant denomination of quarryns who view her as a mother-nature, patron-saint figure rather than an all-powerful being to be worshipped. Though they have the intellect and resources, they have little to show for technological progress save for their ships that are large and round that other omneuttians believe to be made of living material. Otherwise, they tend to make most of their societal advancements naturally, and their extensive knowledge of medicine is entirely alchemical. The musical tradition is relatively new to their culture, originating several hundred years after their eyesight was lost, perhaps developing when their language was forced to adapt with new sounds and inflections.

In their native lands, quarryns seem to prefer to remove themselves from outsiders, leaving other omneuttians to build their own structures underneath gigantic trees grown for this purpose. Across Omneutta, quarryns do their best to adapt to the customs and practices of the locale, though no quarryns will eat meat. Like many other species, racial differences stem from generations of living in different environments. Goilee (pn. goy-lE) are the most abundant quarryns for an unknown reason and are a sage green, Uiiseg (pn. U-I-sehg) have small gills on their blue bodies, and Craob (pn. crawhb) are a deep green. The plants that grow atop their heads and the branch like structures on their limbs seem to be connected to their environment and race, though it is unclear whether specific races lead to pre-determined varieties of vegetation or the other way around.
