Kuo-Toa

The Kuo-Toa and Kuo-Rae alike are a race of ET's that were bred through the genetic splicing of a fish's DNA with that of a prehistoric human's. This resulted in a massive and expansive leap in their evolution, leading them to eventually adapting to living on land, while retaining their ability breath underwater. Their ability to swim gracefully in water was not lost upon them, despite growing and developing fully functioning limbs and appendages. Much like Pre-Historic man and The Neanderthals, The Kuo-Toa learnt to hunt, forage, and live off the land, forming hunter gatherer tribes.

The Kuo-Toa were the primary hunters that went out to hunt for food, while the Kuo-Rae (The females of the group) were the gatherers that foraged for berries, fruits, crops, and other necessities for survival. The Kuo-Toa eventually had to come to recognize Kuo-Rae's natural ability to handle a bow and arrow, their steady gentle hands were crucial during their hunts for game, ensuring that food was put onto the table. This caused a boost in the tribe's morale, and were officially recognized for their talent, often hanging back and providing support while the Kuo-Toa took on the brunt.

The Kuo-Toa are hostile to all outsiders and will not hesitate to kill those they don't recognize as their own. This has brought an unfortunate end to many a modern day hunter, who had failed to heed the warnings, and trespassed on land banned by the UN. Because of this, their bodies could not be retrieved. leaving behind all their weapons, ammo, garb, and whatever else they may of brought with them.

Many of these items are semi-automatic hunting rifles, increasing the Kuo-Rae's deadly efficiency by leaps and bounds. These items were highly valued within their barter and trades, often trading them in for food, services, forming alliance, and weapons.

They speak in a tongue not officially recognized or documented,

communicating to each other through hand gestures, and various vocalizations that mimics how dolphins communicate to each other.
