Terrus

The Terrus are a race of man living on Harmony. They are considered a lesser species on the racial hierarchy.

Physical Description
The Terrus are a squat and stout breed of man who also possess a translucent skin. Lacking any pigment to protect them, Terrus fear the sun. When exposed, a Terrus will go mad with pain and become extremely hostile while seeking shelter. If exposed for an extended period of time, the skin of a Terrus will turn sickly yellow as its insides cook from unshielded radiation. Adapted for a life undergound, the Terrus can see clearly in what a surface dweller would consider almost complete darkeness.

Terrus are rarely seen without their protective suits. Living their entire lves underground, Terrus wear armor and other protective gear to survive a variety of threats. Their solid, domed helmets shield the Terrus from falling rocks while layers of thick cloth stave off the cold of deep tunnels and caverns. Although typically hidden by scarves, Terrus constantly wear gasmasks for fear of toxic gasses or clouds of lung-clogging rock dust.
