More critters from my setting! Turians are kind of mix between a big cat and a reptile, in fact they are therapsids. They are warm-blooded, covered with fur and lay eggs (some species are ovoviviparous). They don't have an external ears, so they don't hear very well, their eyesight is bad too, but they have a very sensitive nose and mobile appendages on their muzzle with which they orient themselves. Another distinctive feature is the retractable claws on the paws, allowing them to climb tall trees. The ancient forms of the turans were a transitional link between reptiles and mammals, and at the moment there lives a more modern version of these animals that successfully occupied the niche of the major scavengers in the Ismaar. Turans have quite a lot of subspecies, distinguished mainly in size, color and habitat.
