Guars

Singular Guar, Plural Guars, Adjective Guarian

Guars are a humanoid race of bison like monster folk with two sexes. A somewhat sexually dimorphic race, the males and females are very different from one another in size and build. Women tend to be about one to two heads taller than an average human (2 to 2.3 meters), with a bit of pudge on their bodies (104 to 118 kg). The men tend to be only two thirds the height of the women (1.3 to 1.5 meters), with very thin if not scrawny builds (30 to 40 kg). All of them have short curved horns coming out of their foreheads, fluffy horizontal ears, long curly brown hair, fur covered digitigrade legs that end in cloven hoofs, and short tufted tails. Their irises are completely black, their mouths are filled with flat molar teeth, and their tongue is long and flexible, able to extend fifteen centimeters from their mouths. The adult women always have lactating breasts at least E cups in size, often much bigger. Their vaginas are highly elastic, with powerful muscles lining its walls. Adult men posses light pink penises, human in appearance save for a tube like tip, that averages eighteen centimeters in length when erect.

A native race of Matrahumi, Guars are well adapted to the temperate weathers and living on the rolling plains of their home region. Strictly herbivorous, Guars prefer eating grains, fruits, and vegetables when they can, but can also graze grass if they have to. The females have very big appetites, usually eating twice as much as a typical humanoid. The males are much smaller eaters. The more well fed a female is, the more milk she produces.

Guars are a matriarchal race that traditionally live in fairly large herds with some members leaving and joining all the time.  Their people are generally very peaceful and friendly, with strong family bonds. Avid followers of the universal philosophy, they welcome visitors with open arms and are always happy to lend a hand to those that need it. As a whole guars tend to be quite docile, though the women can be very dangerous if provoked. Men tend to be energetic, excitable, and eager to please, especially around those they trust and like. At the same time, they’re often shy around strangers. The women tend to be gregarious, motherly, and protective. When one is hungry or sick, the healthy females will feed it milk so it doesn’t have to graze long distances. The guars are one of the few races in Miloria that have a natural talent for potential magic and some can use it without the need of a focus.

They are a very sensual people, with sexual activities being a core part of their day to day lives.   One’s love making ability is a highly respected social skill that many guars make a career out of. However, most of this activity is not intercourse, instead being mostly oral, digital, or grooming activities. Nursing is also very common. Intercourse between a male and female guar itself is considered sacred, and is only engaged in when the elder matriarchs decide their herd is ready to bring new guars into the world. At this point, several females will get pregnant at the same time. Sex without this permission is taboo. On the other hand, interspecies sex is highly encouraged, as it makes all involved healthier and ties races closer together. It isn’t uncommon to be propositioned several times by guar women and offered a few massages by the men in a single day when visiting a herd. They’re especially fond of manavas, going out of their way to find manavas communities when their children are nearing adulthood.

Guar pregnancies last ten to eleven months. Their children reach adolescence at the age of thirteen to fourteen years and completely finish developing around age twenty seven.  A female traditionally becomes an adult when she starts lactating, around the age of nineteen. A male is traditionally seen to be an adult when he has had sex for the first time, though they consider adulthood for men and women to be very different from one another. When females reach adulthood, around half of them will leave the herd they were born in and seek out a different herd to join and have children in.  Males almost never leave their mother’s herd.

The colonial era hit guars particularly hard, with their kindest and most docile being taken by the ful as slaves. The race has been forced to become much more distrustful of strangers and the herd seekers that use to travel alone now always go in groups with adepts or mercenaries to protect them from slavers. Many have also turned to strong belief in universalism, with some going so far as to practice the eris branch. These extremists are a far cry from the stereotypical passive guar, and actively seek to enforce universalism on others through methods like brainwashing dogma, sexual torture, or even mind control with potential magic. Chari and guar fanatics working together are especially dangerous.

Guars do not have much in the way of goods that they make and sell other than their milk. They have a natural talent for service jobs, like cleaners, gardeners, household managers, child caregivers, masseurs, and prostitutes. They also make good healers and adepts.

Slave Guars

The peaceful nature of Guars made them prime targets for slavery during the colonial era. The women were often enslaved for their milk and for sexual uses, the men sometimes being used as domestic servants. Many different breeds of them were also made, featuring many different fur patterns, breast counts, and nipples per breast. A form of treated Guar milk was especially valuable, as it expands the breasts of those that consume it. The majority of Slave Guars live across the sea from Miloria in Fulhaven. While slavery is now illegal there, some underground rings still exist.
