Dragon shapeshifter aliens.
Physiology
- eyesight, particularly distance eyesight, is keener than in humans
Head types
- Axe-head
- Chicken-head (translation) - considered unattractive (too much forehead height)
- Prow-head - shorter nose, smaller eyes. Prow heads grow manes more slowly.
- Aerodynamic-head - admired for its utility but not considered as handsome as axe-heads.
- Shark-head (translation) - associated with younger, clean-cut types.
A good brow ridge is considered masculine.
The brow ridges (with the spikes leading back over them) are seen only in adult males. Similarly, while females will grow the plate horns (the two that come straight back off the skull in line with the eye sockets), the other horns are grown only by males, and include a line from behind the cheek down toward the shoulder on either side of the face, and a row between the two central horns down the spine.
Horns continue to grow all a Chatcaava's life, if slowly. They don't mend unless you glue the broken bits of them back on, but they will get longer. Some males grow more horns than others; this indicates a more aggressive/dominant personality. (Whether that's true or not is up for grabs, as usual.)
