- +The orghysh are medium-sized [[species:clade:draconiform]] [[species:clade:hexapod|hexapods]]. They are [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bipedalism|bipedal]] and possess two arms, used mostly for manipulation; two legs, used for locomotion; and two [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vestigiality|vestigial]] wings, used mostly for display and thermoregulation. Each limb has four digits: each digit on the arms and legs is tipped with a broad, short claw (the digits of the wings have none).

 The orghysh have, on average, a proportionally bulkier upper body and chest than humans do, with long, wiry arms and a slightly hunched posture. Although they do not typically need to use their arms as an aid to walking - their thick, heavy tails providing some measure of balance - an orghysh remaining in place for any length of time will generally stand or squat with part of their weight resting on one or both sets of knuckles. The orghysh have, on average, a proportionally bulkier upper body and chest than humans do, with long, wiry arms and a slightly hunched posture.
