Shibettans [Voidite: TBA] [Shibettan: TBA] are a species of generally beige, brown and/or black feathered kobold found in and are a recognized ethnic group in Voidkree. They get the name "Shibettan" from the combination of the Voidian words for Clever and Lizard. In Voidian society Shibettans aren't treated any differently from any other humanoid in Voidkree and are allowed to get the same jobs Voidians have.
Etymology
Evolution
Their evolution to a sapient intelligence was most likely driven by the surrounding rainforest's competitive environment.
History
In recent centuries Shibettans have been treated better and better with their true equality with Voidians coming in the year 1584 AR where after weeks of protests and riots by both Shibettans and Voidian alike, the parliament passed the "Sapient Equality Act" on 17th of Novus much to the dislike of Voidian ultranationalist groups. Ever since the act, institutions that used to turn away shibettans have since been forced to shutdown or become more inclusive. In more recent years there have even been reports of Voidian-Shibettan couples and families.
Habitat and population
Biology
Life cycle
Genetics
Diet
Shibettans, much like other kobolds are carnivorous and most of their food culture reflects that with the only plants every being used in a meal being there just for seasoning.
Anatomy and physiology
Shibettans are short bipedal reptiles with a layer of beige, brown or black feathers across their body though a large minority of Shibettans do have some form of genetic leucism which gives them white to light grey feathers. Their lower half possess digitigrade legs which end in three clawed toes and a tail, the upper half is relatively raptor-like with the only differences being posture, in the head area the Shibettans have a beak/snout similar to that of a raptor and a ridge of large feathers along the back of the head and neck.
The size of the Shibettans varies slightly though on average a male Shibettan ranges in height from 110-130cm with females ranging in heights of 90-115cm. The tallest Shibettan on record reached heights of 186.4cm which by human standards is not at all astounding but for kobolds it is an impressive height.
