===== Physiology ===== | ===== Physiology ===== | ||
- | Delsaurians have a large head that is as wide as their shoulders, with two large yellow snake-like eyes and a row of centered ridges running from above their nostrils over the top of their heads. They have a thick neck and a stocky body with large clawed hands and feet and a large tail that they often use with their legs to sit in a tripod position. | + | Delsaurians |
+ | |||
+ | Most Delsaurians are known to be fairly stocky because of their body shape, always looking quite large even at their smallest sizes. The smallest Delsaurians of young adulthood tend to be around 4 feet tall, but there has been sightings of some growing large enough to be up to seven feet tall. As one might expect, Delsaurians tend to keep growing as they get older, which often leads to the plausibility of them reaching immense sizes given long enough lifetimes. Albino Delsaurians are exceedingly rare, but can occur in one in 10,000 egg-layings; | ||
+ | |||
+ | Delsaurians who spend too much time in temperatures of 60 degrees Fahrenheit (15 Celsius) and below start to become sleepy and slow-moving. They can enter a period of hibernation if they spend four hours in such temperatures. A Delsaurian trapped in 40 degrees Fahrenheit (4 Celsius) for an hour will suffer severe organ failure and very likely die. On the opposite end of the spectrum, Delsaurians will begin overheating if they spend too much time in temperatures exceeding 130 degrees Fahrenheit (55 Celsius), and will die suffering if exposed to higher temperatures for too long. | ||

Delsaurians share much of the culture of Nepleslia, but do have unique spins on it. A good example of this is that they choose not to normally carry traditional backpacks, but rather crates as it means they can grow snacks in personal gardens.
