Onagosh

The Onagosh, or Onago, are an endangered race seemingly native to the caves of the Kamanieng Mountains.

The troglodyte race was found by people of the Petrified Forest making expeditions into caves located near Mount Kamanieng in the forest itself. Onago are blind, but move quickly, and thrive in the underground environment with their acute hearing and smelling. Originally hostile, onago now seem more neutral, but territorial towards the civilized races.

The onago are quadrupedal, and their dry skin is protected by a bone-like exoskeleton around the crown of their head, chests, shoulders, arms, hands, legs, and feet. The exoskeleton covers the onago's blind eyes, protecting it from any source of light that may damage them. Their face contains a small mouth, though onago do not seem to possess voices, and two nostrils above in the form of slits, also protected by their exoskeleton. Onago do grow hair, though mostly only on the males in the form of facial hair and body hair.

Onago communicate in phonetic clicking and obstruents.

The Onagans
Named after a portmaneau of onago and humans, the Onagans are a tribe who live in three known locations connected by an underground tunnel system. The members of this tribe are not all humans, but people who have given up culture, family, language, and their race to live among the onago. The Salrech Barbarians claim to be in contact with the Onagans and vow to defend them.
