They also have natural weapons in the form of their claws, so I'm not sure if spears would develop. Then again, spears were likely the first tools used by early humans (chimps also make spears by gnawing branches down to a point). Perhaps like chimps yinrih could use spears for thrusting but not throwing. Early weapons would probably be enhancements of the yinrih's natural combat strategies. Caudal slings wer..." current

While they do use things like backpacks and pocketed leg bands, the communicative function of clothing is filled by perfumes. Yinrih produce pheromones, both as an ambient musk and via their ink, that other yinrih can use to gain information about them. Approximate age, gender, emotional state, and whether or not one is currently in a childermoot can be determined readily by these natural odors. Artificial perfu..." current

A yinrih's writing claw is shaped like the nib of a fountain pen, and acts more or less like one as well. However, while a fountain pen uses capillary action and gravity to cause a "controlled leak" to produce ink flow, a yinrih has voluntary control over the muscles in the ink sac. By contracting these muscles, and..."

It is not open to the air like the cities on Welkinstead, since the atmosphere is not breathable. It is located in the eye of a perpetual cyclonic storm. No sunlight penetrates the deep clouds around it. The only natural light comes from the constant lightning from the surrounding storm clouds."

It is this tree that the yinrih evolved to dwell in. ==Fruit== his fruit co-evolved alongside the yinrih's nonsapient ancestors in order to use the yinrih as seed dispersers. It's about the size of an apple, and Its flavor is uniquely adapted to the yinrih's poor sense of taste. It is mildly sweet but has a very, very strong sour flavor. Humans liken it to Warhead candies. The skin is deep..."

(Or if you want to be pedantic, it's the only gas giant, with Moonlitter being an ice giant.) Its atmosphere is rich in economically exploitable gasses.

It's just large enough to justify the presence of a small college. The residents are very protective of their little guests, and it's largely thanks to them (and their many, many guns) that the missionaries remain unmolested.
