Likaya have a simple, if deceiving body. Standing at average of 6" to 7'5" tall, their long legs are actually very wiry and strong, allowing them to travel long and far distances a human could ware out on. Their lower body can also lift their front up and over themselves as well, but it doesn't really serve anything other than children games or appearing bigger to scare off some animals from attacking. This extra strength is well used in carrying loads on their back when moving from place to place, being their own beast of burden if it's not too large. The lower spine is also able to rotate to about 90 degrees so they can lay down with ease, or even use their lower legs as a chair and sit and rest
Having such strong legs does have some downsides. For one, Likaya need to eat more calories. a LOT of calories. To represent this visually, if you ordered a large plate of Fajita at your local Mexican restaurant, a Likaya would need 2 or 3 plates to fill themselves. On top of this, their wiry muscles in their legs can cramp or strain from constant walking as well, so Likaya must do daily stretches to keep their ligaments and muscles loose and relaxed if they need keep moving. (they even have their own version of yoga as well)
On a side note, Lukaya's have 4 sexes. You have the classic male and female, but Likaya can also be intersex both ways as well easily. Male's are born with genitals in the front pair of legs, while females have theirs in the rear pair of legs, but intersex males and females have both (male genitals in front and female in the back) but intersex males lack breast (however they can develop temporary breast for feeding when pregnant). Males and both intersex can also grow beards, tho in this case the beard is just their facial fur growing out and changing color. Antlers are also a prime feature of all Likaya as well, and come in many shapes and sizes that can be styled and trimmed however they want, but the males and both intersex can grow larger antlers and horns on their heads over females.
Another great work by Gab and a lovely look at Likaya anatomy too! ^_^ i am in love with this race and i hope to someday mix them in with my other alien races, too.
