Ilix the Bolkian

What are Bolkians?

You ever notice that in nature there aren't really any mammalian hermaphrodites? There are various microbe species and plants and some other creatures who are, but not mammals. Well Bolkians got you covered. This race, native to Andor are a rather fascinating species indeed! Yes, at birth they are true blue hermaphrodites. What's a hermaphrodite? Glad you asked. It means a creature who is actually both genders at the same time, possessing the organs of both male and female. Bolkians are hermaphrodites naturally and their biology is something to behold! They are vaguely humanoid in shape, with pointed ear with tufts of feathers on the ends. They have two massive horns atop their heads, these horns can curve and split off into almost antler-like shapes. Exact design of the horns varies from each individual. Now when it comes to the chest area of Bolkians, every Bolkian has breasts of more of a female variety. Why? Simply put to be able to breastfeed their young of course. And their legs are covered in a thick layer of feathery down usually quite vivid in colors. And behind them is a tail sort of resembling a lions tail with a tuft of feathers at the end. And finally the feet are actually hooves. Have you ever seen a creature so fantastic? I think not!

Every Bolkian can effortlessly change their voice. They are sort of like birds able to mimic voices of things around them. So whichever gender the Bolkian identifies as they can reflect it in their voice. Are you a Bolkian and still not sure what gender you want to be? Totally fine, just use a neutral voice until you either figure it out or realize that's just who you are. The voices mimicked can be as beautiful as a professional singer at will or as gritty as an old sea captain if so desired.

Now when it comes to the science and miracle of birth how exactly do these amazing creatures reproduce? Well every Bolkian can both impregnate and also be impregnated! It's really a choice they must make when wanting children. Fascinatingly, when a Bolkian is in early stages of pregnancy 1-2 weeks or so it has the option to sort of coat the unborn clump of Bolkian-to-be cells in an egg and lay an egg ending the pregnancy early and choosing to take care of the child in its egg instead of inside the belly. There are some risks to this but ultimately if the mother is healthy it should usually go down without a hitch. And of course if a Bolkian desires to become pregnant they can also do live birth option. All they have to do is ignore the 1-2 week mark and not create an egg. The baby will develop normally inside the mother. Being born later the good old fashioned way! How astounding!

But biology isn't the only interesting thing about Bolkians, wait until you hear of their culture!!!
