The ancestors of the draconiforms were small, active arboreal animals that leapt between tree branches in dense forest.

They are the closest evolutionary relatives of the takmins - the takmar and . Dvidalins are distinguished from their takmin cousins by being more adapted to grasping and climbing. All of them have dexterous hands with opposable thumbs, and some, especially the arboreal ones, also have feet capable of grasping.

The ancestors of the takmids were among these, arising in what are now the Sea of Grass. Relatively small, social predators, they transitioned slowly from hunting solely on the water margins like their relatives to roaming the grasslands in search of more terrestrial prey. text/html 2023-09-18T19:05:17+00:00 Anonymous (anonymous@undisclosed.example.com) https://shyriath.a2hosted.com/avishraa/doku.php?id=species:clade:takmin&rev=1695063917&do=diff Takmins Hybridization As is, perhaps, inevitable between species so closely related and physically alike, sexual contact is not unknown, if also not common nor encouraged. It occurs most often in the takma river towns (at least, those from which the xtauh are not banned), although sadly many such instances are not voluntary; many of those that are are essentially on the level of prostitution, trading sex for some form of payment.

Like most higher life forms on Avishraa, they are hexapods. Tantines are characterized by a lack of scales, being instead covered by hair or fur, and by compact aural structures. Unlike Earthly mammals, they do not have mammary glands; feeding of the young is performed through regurgitative actions. text/html 2024-03-12T15:14:10+00:00 Anonymous (anonymous@undisclosed.example.com) https://shyriath.a2hosted.com/avishraa/doku.php?id=species:clade:vallakiform&rev=1710256450&do=diff Vallakiforms The vallakiforms are a clade of zalkine hexapods, related to the draconiforms.
