Description

The Jadoth, as they call themselves are a relatively young race. They began as a species of flying nocturnal predators, making their homes in the cavernous ceilings of their subterranean planet. While most underground races begin on barren planets with scorching suns, the Jadoth are a unique case. The star around which their home planet orbits is small and their planet is on the fifth and farthest ring. The surface of planet Jaddon is a dark, frozen wasteland which supports next to no life and very few pockets of liquid water, however beneath the surface, closer to Jaddon's exceptionally hot planetary core, the caves and vents work to hold in enough heat to allow life to thrive in the dark. In this often cold, and nearly light less environment, the Jadoth evolved many of the features their race still uses to survive. A thick coat of fur, nearly perfect night-vision, amazing hearing, echolocation and sound mimicry. Living so far from anything but bio-luminescent or phosphorescent light sources has also had its share of negative effects. As well as nearly-crippling photo-phobia, the Jadoth are unaccustomed to heavy UV exposure and if left above ground in a heavily sunlit area they may begin to experience symptoms similar to low-level radiation poisoning progressing to the point of death.In recent history, as their race progressed from opportunistic predators and scavengers, to a thriving, if somewhat secluded, civilization, they have made quite a name for themselves. Inventing new technologies, and overcoming obstacles with brutal efficiency. One of their favorite projects is the development of new genetic mutants and cross-breeds and their penchant for the use of genetically-altered war-beasts, has become the Jadoth's racial trademark.
