{This is a truncated version of what's in the Sandstorm book. If you need clarification or to know more, PM me}
Bhukas are an offshoot of the Goblinois people and claim to be descendant from the first inhabitants of the world. They are consumate survivors of the waste, having a talent for finding water and many physical adaptations that allow them to function in harsh environments. There culture celebrates and preserves ancestral ways of living.
Personality Although theirs is not a technologically advanced soceity, Bhukas are a sophisticated people with a highly developed art and social organization. They are not warlike, so they have learned to avoid conflict by the simple method of not being seen. A Bhuka never approaches a stranger but observes as long as possible while guaging the newcomer's intent. Even is she doesn't make contact, a Bhuka reveals nothing of her kin or settlement and is very cautious in her dealings.
Physical Descpription Bhukas are slightly built, with sand-colored skin and brick-red, tightly curled hair. They have little to no facial or body hair. Their large ears, networked with veins, fold flat against their heads to retain heat in the cold desert night and keep out blowing sand. A frill of skin about the neck contains numerous spines that can lift the frill for cooling. The face of a Bhuka is flat, with slitlike nostrils protected by flaps of skin. Bhukas have wide, splayed feet that help them move easily across sand and they do not wear shoes. Body paint is used to signify social position and standings. It ranges from a simple stripe to brilliant arrays of stripes and spots. Clothing is flowing and light, woven from desert grass using ancient techniques that offer excellent protection from heat. A typical Bhuka stands between 4 and 5 feet all and rarely weighs more than 90 pounds.
Languages Bhukas are not literate, but instead have a rich oral history. Since their evolution from their crude Goblinois cousins, the Bhuka language has evolved into something Goblins can no longer understand, eventhough they share the same roots. Most Bhukas also speak draconic.
