	Tokis are blue-blooded due to using hemocyanin as an oxygen-transport metalloproteins. This trait helps them to survive the colder climate and lower oxygen densities of Tarati. This helps them survive in the Alpine Zone, and also means they can hold their breath longer underwater.		Tokis are blue-blooded due to using hemocyanin as an oxygen-transport metalloproteins.

	A Toki is a reptile, slightly smaller than a human, with no legs and two arms. It has three fingers and one thumb on each hand, and uses its tail to move about. It has a colourful crest down its spine.

			=Social Organization=
			The majority of tokis live a primitive lifestyle in small tribal communities ranging between 10 and 50. These tribes remain localized to a small territory where they will fish and farm for each other. Tribes may have a few stone or wooden huts to serve as personal sleeping areas, supplies storage, public spaces, and guard towers. Cultural tensions between tribes plus the lack of ability to combat predators have prevented the tokis from forming larger communities. All tokis speak a single language called [[Tokian]]. Tokian is a simple language with a wide variety of vocalizations including the throat hiss written as hh and the tooth hiss written as ss.
			=Culture=
			Toki religion is divided into two main sects. The largest of the two is [[Toki Mythology]], elemental worship believing that everything in the universe comes from eight main compounds. The second largest religion is Kiladako worship, believing that the Kiladako are holy creators and guardians to be revered.

	~~Toki skin consists~~ of ~~fine~~ scales and ~~the rubber-like "crest" along their head~~ and ~~spine is made up of a kind of skin~~. ~~A unique set of~~ muscles in their ~~tail help them swim, slither and push themselves around~~. ~~Like sharks, they lose teeth often and constantly replace them 24/7.~~		====Crest====
			The crest is made of thick scales and cartilage. It contains sparse nerves and blood vessels. It can be stiffened slightly but it contains no muscles. It can be painful for a toki to sit on its own crest or have it damaged in any way. Some tokis will pierce their crest for cultural or cosmetic reasons. Having the crest severely damaged will not usually be fatal to the toki.
	~~Toki are omnivores, eating fish, insects, small mammals, bird eggs, and many types of plants~~.

	Toki ~~have blue blood, due to having hemocyanin oxyen transportation rather than the usual iron-rich hemoglobin~~. This ~~helps them survive through the winters of Tarati,~~ and ~~also means they can hold their breath longer underwater~~.		====Skin====
			Toki skin consists of small smooth scales which are finely interlocked. This gives toki skin a more slippery and stretchy quality as opposed to tough and armored.

Tokis are blue-blooded due to using hemocyanin as an oxygen-transport metalloproteins. This trait helps them to survive the colder climate and lower oxygen densities of Tarati.

Toki (''Anguis Res'') are one of the major species that dwell on Tarati. They are colorful, legless reptiles that are mildly intelligent.

== Appearance ==
A Toki is a reptile, slightly smaller than a human, with no legs and two arms. It has three fingers and one thumb on each hand, and uses its tail to move about. It has a colourful crest down its spine.

Toki have long noses, and two eyes on the sides of their head. Their head and mouth is similar to that of a shark's. A fully-grown adult is usually 1.5m-2.5m long from head to tail. Tokis can come in just about any color combination, depending on the colour of the parent tokis.

== Anatomy ==
Toki skin consists of fine scales and the rubber-like "crest" along their head and spine is made up of a kind of skin. A unique set of muscles in their tail help them swim, slither and push themselves around. Like sharks, they lose teeth often and constantly replace them 24/7.

Toki are omnivores, eating fish, insects, small mammals, bird eggs, and many types of plants.

Toki have blue blood, due to having hemocyanin oxyen transportation rather than the usual iron-rich hemoglobin. This helps them survive through the winters of Tarati, and also means they can hold their breath longer underwater.

Just like Tarati, Toki are divided into two kinds. Snow Toki can cope with the cold a lot easier and can go for weeks without food. Jungle toki are a lot more in number and are suited to the humid forests.

An average toki lifespan is 30 for Jungle, 7 for Snow. 95 for Colder land. 63 for Hotter land. Although some have been known to live until 115.

== Reproduction ==
A toki egg is round, soft-shelled, purple, and about the size of a golf ball. The egg is partly transparent, and if you look hard you can see the embryo growing inside. A toki egg has the texture of grape jelly.

After several months the baby tokis will hatch and leave the nest almost immediately. Many will never know their parents. They are able to move, breathe and swim a few years after hatching. A newborn toki resembles a small tadpole.

== Natural Predators ==
Toki have several predators, including large cats, Sneehogs and many types of fish and other creatures that live in the deep rivers of Tarati. They are constantly under threat by rival toki and [[Kiladako]].

While most toki live on their own or in small groups, some kinds have managed to become sentient. They have learned how to make fire, spears, and how to work as a team. They have passed down this knowledge to their offspring and rarely communicate with the "rogue" tokis.

Tarati is divided into two lands. The Snow lands are located at the very top and bottom of the planet and are covered with snow and mountains. The other land is the Jungle, which covers the equator with trees and swamps.

Just like Tarati, Toki are divided into two kinds. Snow Toki can cope with the cold a lot easier and can go for weeks without food. Jungle toki are a lot more in number and are suited to the humid forests.

An average toki lifespan is 30 for Jungle, 35 for Snow. Although some have been known to live until 50.
