[[W:Rhinoceros|Rhinoceros]] (Greek '''''rhino-''''' for nose and '''''keras''''' for [[horn]]), full '''rhinoceroses''', also known as just '''rhinos''', are any one of five living [[species]] from the [[W:family (biology)|family]] [[W:Rhinocerotidae|Rhinocerotidae]] (including the '''White''', '''Black''', '''Javan''', '''Indian''', and '''Sumatran rhinoceroses'''), found in Africa, southern Asia, and Indonesia. They are in the same order of [[animal]]s as [[Horse|horses]] and [[W:Tapir|tapirs]].

== Overview ==

Rhinoceros are most widely recognized for the one or two large horns (depending on the species) found on the tip of their noses. These horns are used for defense and are made of [[W:Keratin|keratin]], the same material that composes hair and nails. Unlike true horns, they lack a bony core and grow back if broken or cut off.

Due to the poaching of these horns by [[human]]s for the purpose of decoration and an ingredient for traditional medicine, all species of rhinoceros are considered at risk for extinction, with all species classified as endangered, with the black, Javan, and Sumatran rhinos critically endangered. The Sudanese rhino subspecies was declared extinct on March 19, 2018, after the last [[male]] died.

== Rhinoceros in mainstream culture/religion ==

Rhinos are found on such mainstream [[comic strip]]s as ''[[Storyline of Kevin and Kell]]'', ''[[Européen Chateau]]'', ''[[Pluggers]]'', and ''[[Endtown]]'', as well as in the television show ''[[Street Sharks]]''.

* [[Rocksteady]] (''[[Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles]]'')
* [[Neff]] ([[Disney]]'s ''[[W:Wreck-It Ralph|Wreck-It Ralph]]'')

==Rhinos and furry==

Rhinos are one of the rare mammals found in the [[furry fandom]]. Due to their large stature, thick skin, and horns, rhinos are often portrayed as powerful, buff characters, and are rarely portrayed as [[female]]s.

The '''Zylithian''' (also known unofficially as the '''wyrm'''¹) is one of the [[alien]] races featured in [[Tales of the Tai-Pan Universe]]. Although they somewhat resemble terran [[reptile]]s, they are warm-blooded. The '''Zylithians''' are a space faring race that waged war with the Terran colonies hundreds of years in the past. Hostilities still exist between the two races, especially in some border territories.

'''Zylithian''' society is one that is very communal, individuality is heavily frowned down upon. '''Zylithian''' technology is slightly better than that of the Terran Confederation².

'''Daroneasa''' (also known by her real name '''Erin K. Dover''') is a young [[science fiction]] writer and [[artist]], best known for creating the world of [[Otska]] and their inhabitants, the [[Vorambi]]. Although she does not consider herself a [[furry]], she is a [[furry fan]] and admits that many of her stories can be enjoyed specifically by those in the [[furry fandom]]. As a person, she is generally kind and cheerful, though has a very dark, rich imagination that, to some readers, rivals many of the best published authors.

Her major epic in process is tentatively titled ''Necessary Evil'', the story of influential Vorambi characters and their struggles during a tragic war. The first book of the series will be subtitled ''The War of the Starborn''. Although she is currently trying to publish the first two books of her story, she freely gives out readable copies to anyone who is curious and is considered her friend.

Her major [[character]]s include [[Ras Tila]], [[Daroneasa Urasha]] (not to be confused by her actual online persona!), [[Ataskra Ivvo]], [[Niuk Skari]], and many others. Many readers feel that her characters are rich in construction and personality. She also has historically welcomed fans to create their own vorambi characters and situations, sometimes with prizes available for the best submissions.

Daroneasa currently lives along the [[NARFA]] region.

The '''Vorambi''' are a fictional alien [[species]] from the ''[[Necessary Evil]]'' saga by Erin K. Dover (aka [[Daroneasa]]). The Vorambi occupy an Earth-like planet they call [[Otska]], which is located in orbit around Beta Centauri.

Vorambi are divided into six races. One's race determines one's place in society, with the Draeg and Kith being at the top of the hierarchy due to their monopoly on technology. Below them are the Un'Keal, a simple, typically nomadic people who are too few to be of much concern. Below them are the slave races, the Oramsk, the Gramu, and the Kai. The Kai people's status as slaves is somewhat new, and many are free individuals who function in Kith and Draeg society. [[Ras Tila]], a virologist and a protagonist of the first three Necessary Evil novels, is one such individual.

The Vorambi are best described as vaguely humanoid. They have a snout (somewhat like a dog's or a [[dragon]]), pointed [[ears]], [[claws]], a long [[tail]], and are mammalian. They are very similar to humans in intelligence and psychology in most aspects. The average Vorambi lives to about 140 Earth-standard years.

The Vorambi are, during the first three novels, a secluded people who are caught unawares by the invasion of their world by [[human]]s and other 'alien' races.

Talmi

2023-07-22T16:59:43Z

2601:18D:4700:7640:20F7:A84B:AFEB:4D89:

'''Talmi''' is a species of feline marsupial alien from the webcomic ''[[Last Res0rt]]''.

They live all over the galaxy. There are several planets and colonized moons considered to be Talmi strongholds. The most notable of these is Planet Arael.

==Traits==

Talmi are diminutive furry creatures with humanoid builds, ranging from 3-5' in height, with large, rounded ears, tufted tails, and marsupial pouches which house their young. Both male and female Talmi have these pouches, although male pouches are not as elastic or expansive (and hence the openings are not as visible as on a female).

Their bodies are covered with a short layer of fur, although the hair on their heads can grow out to be longer and is sometimes different in color from the rest of their fur. Fur colors are fairly muted, and resemble those of modern house-cats, including tabby and calico patterning.

Talmi believe their ancestors were similar to the [[Thylacine]].

Sivaoan

2601:18D:4700:7640:20F7:A84B:AFEB:4D89:

{{Merge|Uhura's Song}}
'''Sivaoan''' is a [[feline]] race starring in the [[Star Trek]] novel ''[[Uhura's Song]]''. The race lives on a planet Sivao, where it originally constituted a single race with [[Eeiauoan]] until the latter left their homeplanet approximately 2,000 years ago.

'''Sivaoan''' are the same biologically as '''Eeiauoan''' and can crossbreed. Sivaoan are nomadic by nature and live in close contact with nature. They have retractable claws and prehensile [[tail]]s, which, unlike Eeiauoans, they do not hesitate to use. They have ideal memory with 100% recall.

Sivaoans are succeptable to a potentially fatal disease ''ADF syndrome'', also known as ''The Long Death'' or ''Noisy-Baby'', but never consider it a big problem, due to medicine prepared from a plant growing in abundancy on Sivao.

Sivaoans have a hugely overblown concept of copyright; for instance, a song may not be publicly performed without the author's explicit permission, even after the author's death. Thanks to this policy, a good chunk of Sivaoan culture was indefinitely locked inside a limited circle of bards who were only allowed to trade songs among themselves.

Salusian

2023-07-22T16:57:31Z

2601:18D:4700:7640:20F7:A84B:AFEB:4D89:

[[Image:Salusian-collage.jpg|thumb|right|Foreground to Background: Asrial in Human disguise, Asrial's Father, Asrial's mother, unnamed royal guard. Salusians are © Antarctic Press/Ben Dunn.

[[image:truelove2.jpg|140px|thumb|right|Asrial in her natural state along with Jeremy Feeple. Asrial's tail is just visible in the background. Image is from NHS and thus is © Antarctic Press/Ben Dunn.]]

'''Salusians''' are a fictional [[:Category:Species|species]] in [[Ninja High School]] and [[Quagmire USA]]. They have a very close resemblance to [[Skunk (species)|skunk]]s, with the only differences being that they all have a white diamond marking on their foreheads and only the females have tails.

Salusians depend strongly upon their technology to get by, often to a fault. So bad is their definition of civilization related to technology that their idea of "roughing it" includes a portable house with a satellite communications dish for their version of internet access, instant meals in pill form (just add water), and a computer along with the usual bed. To them, the human definition of roughing it is analogous to the Stone Age.

Perhaps because of their technological superiority over many other species, they consider themselves superior biologically as well and look down upon other races as normally not worth their attention or time. This has the side effect of irritating said other species when their attitudes turn arrogant and "I am holier than thou".

Salusian society is based on a monarchy. They are ruled by a King and Queen and pass succession of the throne to their blood heirs. Salusians of royal blood are possessing of incredible superhuman strength, to the point where completely uprooting a fully grown oak or maple tree from the ground is a minor matter of giving a tug on the trunk. This is perhaps the reason why they are chosen to be royalty. However, as the familial chain dilutes from the king and queen to the common Salusian, this superhuman strength also weakens. Thus those distant blood relatives of the royal family will not be as strong as those closer in blood to the King and Queen.

The crown jewels of Salusian technology are small instant-learning pills and the transformation chamber. The pills contain an unknown chemical mix that will enable the person who eats it to learn how to speak, write, and type any language, and thus blend into the culture more easily. Paired with this, the transformation chamber can alter the cellular composition of its occupant so the person will resemble any race. The changes made by the chamber are always reversible by entering the chamber again.

Salusians, since they think themselves superior, are also full of pride in their physical appearance. They are very attached to their fur on a psychological level and when they have to use the transformation chamber, they do so reluctantly and often with disgust of the form they will be given. However, the one thing they will refuse to part with while on alien planets is their ears. No matter what form they take, their skunk-like ears will ''always'' be present on top of their heads along with the normal ears of the given species they are transformed into.

[[Hybrid]] Salusians, specifically Kassy and Lexus in the series, do not need a transformation chamber to take on the form of the non-Salusian side of their heritage. Defying normal explanation, they can change at will in appearance from between being full Salusians to Human and back again. In [[Quagmire USA]], this is demonstrated when Kassie turned from her human form to a Salusian with only a comical "change" blink to indicate it. In times of stress or sudden embarrassment or fear, they lose the ability to change form at will and will revert to Salusian form. It is debatable whether they do this as a natural, involuntary defense reaction; they can still change back at will.

'''Kjola''' are an extraterrestrial species created by [[Taral Wayne]] within his [[Willow Run (story world)|Willow Run]] setting. The archetypical Kjola character is [[Saara Mar]].

Kjola are humanoid with white fur which becomes blue near the extremities. They have silver eyes and animal-like ears. Their metabolism is fusion-based so they do not need to breathe or eat. One might go so far as to say they aren't a natural species at all, but quantum powered, synthetic, solid-state beings animated by force fields.

Kjola are so fantastically advanced in science that their powers seem more than like magic (as per [[Wikipedia:Arthur C. Clarke|Arthur C. Clarke]]'s [[Wikipedia:Clarke's three laws|observation]]), or like cartoons (as per Taral).

Iskai

2023-07-22T16:53:52Z

2601:18D:4700:7640:20F7:A84B:AFEB:4D89:

{{unreferenced}}
{{copyedit}}
The '''Iskai''' are a sentient [[species]] that live on the planet of Albion in the [[Albion (video game)|computer game]] by the same name.

{{spoiler}}

==Physical attributes==
The Iskai are a tall and slender species of warm-blooded [[mammal]]s that are built similarly to [[human]]s, but possess distinctive [[feline]] traits. They are [[omnivore|omnivorous]], [[digitigrade]] creatures, relying on their speed rather than strength to survive. Their [[tail]]s are fairly prehensile, and act almost like a third hand.

The [[fur]] covering their bodies is short but thick, although some Iskai have longer belts of fur on their breasts and hips. There are many color variations of the bodyfur and much longer headfur, for the most part ranging between dark-grey, brown, beige, yellow and deep-red. Pieces of [[horn]] can be found on the head and main joints. Additionally, these structures act also as [[claw]]s on their fingers and feet.

Compared to humans, their sense of smell is exceptionally good and their hearing spectrum is a bit above that of a human. Other differences are that the females of the species are only fertile for three months in a year, and also that the expected lifespan of an Iskai is much shorter than that of humans, between 30 and 40 years.

==Mental capabilities==
On the forehead of every Iskai there is an organ called the ''Trii'', which they see as the center of the spirit. It is a highly sensitive organ, and injuries to it can lead to personality disorders, memory loss, and even death. If the Triis of two people are placed against each other, they can feel each other's emotions - some gifted individuals (called ''Trii-Nadh'') can even read the thoughts of other people this way.

The Trii of a newborn has some unique abilities during the first week of its life; if an adult Iskai (assuming it's a female in this case) touches the newborn's Trii against hers, she can transfer her entire self into the spirit of the child. She can then begin life anew in her newly acquired body, while the former, adult one dies at the same instant. This act is commonly referred to as the ''Sebai ritual''.

==Civilization overview==

===Iskai settlements on Albion===

====Nakiridaani====
Nakiridaani is a great land inhabitated mainly by Iskai. The largest of the Iskai cities, ''Jirinaar'', is located here. The Dji-Fadh's former guildhouse, long since abandoned, lies to the northeast of the city.

====Maini====
There is also an Iskai city on the land of Maini, called ''Srimalinar''. Although it covers a quite large surface area, it doesn't hold a very significant population. ''Beloveno'', a harbor city to the south of Srimalinar that was founded by humans, is also home to some Iskai, though they are few and far between. A shrine built by the Iskai can be found to the southwest of Srimalinar.

===Architecture===
The Iskai architecture is entirely based on plantlife, with houses being literally grown from the ground, forming walls, ceilings and floors. The Dji-Fadh guild is particularly adept at these constructions.

As the buildings themselves are constructed from a living matter, they are also furnished with items crafted from natural resources and often also grown. The Iskai mainly manufacture their furniture from wood, with metal a scarce and precious commodity. Aforementioned grown furniture elements include a large sponge plant responsible for pumping water into the household's canal system (it takes a lot of time to grow, according to the Dji-Fadh), an organic water purifier (a waste decomposition tank) or a plant-like toilet, which has the tendency to overgrow due to excess fertilization.

===Guilds of magic===

====Dji-Fadh====
The Dji-Fadh are a guild of mages that uses their magic abilities to create entire houses out of plants, with prices only the more wealthier of Iskai can afford. They are sometimes just called "the builders", especially by those who hold them in disregard. Their guildhouse is located in the northwestern part of the city of Jirinaar.

====Dji-Kas====
The Dji-Kas mages are the more diverse of the magic users in Jirinaar, utilizing it to heal and create, as well as to injure and destroy. To perform their magic, they need to use seeds which grow on the Triifalai plant. The seed itself is not responsible for the magic effect; it merely acts as a focal point for the spirit of the caster. Their guildhouse can be found in the southwestern area of the city.

===Clans===

====South Wind Clan====
The Clan of the South Wind are primarily a hunters' clan, preying on wild game that can be found all around Nakiridaani. Their clanhouse is located in the northern part of Jirinaar, and it mainly features a storage cellar, a kitchen and an infirmary.

====Red Wood Clan====
Based in Jirinaar, the Red Wood Clan is for the most part involved in the trading of goods. Their business is generally done within the land of Nakiridaani, but they also trade with other cities on the more distant continents.

====Other clans====
There are two other clans on [[Nakiridaani]] that live off cattle herding. Their respective names are not disclosed though.

===The Council===
In [[Nakiridaani]], the laws are set forth by the council gathered within the council building, which lies in the center of [[Jirinaar]]. Any violation of the laws are enforced by the ''Stiriik'', which are the ones responsible for upholding them. If they fail to capture the lawbreaker, it is the family of the criminal's task to solve the situation, monitored by at least one Stiriik.

The council consists of the ''Sebai'' (those who have performed the Sebai ritual) of each clan, of which one of them are chosen to be the ''Sebainah'' - the head of the council. S/he usually governs on the more casual matters, although in more important cases s/he will have to collaborate with the other council members. In times of crisis, however, the Sebainah may be granted by the council to rule over life and death.

===The Sebai ritual===
It is strictly forbidden to perform the Sebai ritual without the council's approval, and doing so is considered to be the worst crime there is. The laws states that the criminal of such act, along with her/his entire family, are to be punished by death.

The only people that have been allowed by the council to partake in the ritual are called the ''Chosen''. These are Iskai that have made some sort of self-sacrifice, or perhaps shared much knowledge, for the benefit of others - as with truly dedicated mentors and high-ranked Stiriiks. However, before even the Chosen ones can undergo this act, there must also be consent from the mother of the newborn involved.

When the ceremony is over, the Chosen one receives the title of ''Sebai'', which is followed by a number indicating how many times they have undergone the ritual.

==Notable Iskai characters==

===Drirr===
At first being a Stiriik of Jirinaar, Drirr joins the [[player]]'s party to assist in finding the fugitive assassinator of Akiir. After the case has been resolved, he gives up his profession as Stiriik and becomes a permanent member of the group.

===Sira===
Previously a member of the Dji-Fadh guild, Sira went to join the Dji-Kas, which, against her father Akiir's will, she did due to a dislike of how the Dji-Fadh administered their magic. After her father's death, she decides to accompany the party to get away from it all for a while.

===Akiir===
Akiir was formerly the head of the Dji-Fadh guild. Being Sira's father, he wanted her to educate herself in the ways of the Dji-Fadh, something she eventually strongly disagreed with. Greatly dismayed and disappointed about the choice his only daughter had made, he hires an assassin to rid himself from the face of the planet.

===Frill===
Notable in being a member of the Enlightened Ones, Frill helps out the party at several occasions during the game. His title is that of ''Sebai-Giz'', which means that he has performed the Sebai ritual a number of twenty times - making him the venerable age of around 600 years. He is thus one of the oldest Iskai alive, as well as being amongst Albion's leading historians.

2023-07-22T16:52:58Z

2601:18D:4700:7640:20F7:A84B:AFEB:4D89:

'''Irbis''' is the Mongolian name for [[Snow leopard]], which is used in various other languages as well.

== Furscape ==

In [[Furscape]] [[MUCK]], the Irbis species refers to genetically modified descendants of snow leopards from Earth, who were taken on board the spaceship ''Queckshiaulriaul'' of [[Kirru]] scientists who landed in the Himalaya mountains in the year 1400.

When attempting to explore another planet, their ship was damaged but could escape. The spaceship was mostly destroyed in a crash landing on [[Jalan]], but its crew, including the snow leopards, could escape thanks to the ship's elastic construction. The kirru scientists managed to modify the snow leopard's genetic material, enabling later generations to speak various languages and walk upright if necessary.

Today's irbis population has spread from Jalan to various other planets, and while they are still well-adapted to life in the high mountains like their ancestors, they are also good at using technology and excellent for diplomatic positions, though their [[paw]]s are not as well-suited for fine work as those of [[recom]]s with human DNA.

Irbis characters include [[Hagalaz]], [[Niveus]] and [[unci]].

Ganarf

2023-07-22T16:52:05Z

2601:18D:4700:7640:20F7:A84B:AFEB:4D89:

'''Ganarfs''' are a race of short, round, humanoid beings that resemble a [[horse]] or [[Donkey|burro]]-headed [[Anthropomorphic|anthropoid]]. They were created by [[furry artist]] [[Jerry Collins]]. '''Gorts''' and '''Ghouls''' (see below) are varieties of Ganarf.

Easy going and [[Wikipedia:hobbit|hobbit]]-like, the Ganarfs are masterful gardeners and tinkerer/mechanics. Inspired by [[Wikipedia:Lord Dunsany|Lord Dunsany]]'s "Kith of the elf-folk", [[Wikipedia:Bill Peet|Bill Peet]]'s "whumps", [[Wikipedia:Walt Kelly|Walt Kelly]]'s [[Wikipedia:Pogo|Pogo]], and [[Wikipedia:H.P. Lovecraft|H.P. Lovecraft]]'s ancient race of Ib from "[[Wikipedia:The Doom that Came to Sarnath|The Doom that Came to Sarnath]]". The Ganarfs are the oldest and dearest characters in the Jerry Collins universe.

According to the author himself, the name "Ganarf" derives from a sound effect used by Fifties TV improv comic [[Wikipedia:Ernie Kovacs|Ernie Kovacs]].

==Gorts==
Although Orc-like in appearance, Gorts are simply a larger variety of Ganarf (from old Gurtchite, Gortusis Ganarf, i.e. large folk). While rough-hewn, they are a tolerant and noble folk, patient but with a fierce warrior spirit and a disdain for pretensions. Gorts value honor and honesty, but enjoy good times and simple pleasures like their smaller relations.

==Ghouls==
Ghouls (not to be confused with H.P. Lovecraft's creatures of the same name) are a third variety of Ganarf. Smaller than Gorts and bigger than Ganarfs, the ghouls are less kindly than their smaller kinsmen the Ganarfs, and are somewhat taciturn and grimmer in nature than the Gorts. Ghouls are painfully practical, a tad aggressive, and suffer no foolishness from anyone, but have their soft side as do their countrymen. Amongst the Gorts, Ghouls and Ganarfs there is a strong solidarity: "Strike one down, and we ALL rise!" (an old Gortian proverb.)

'''Eeiauoan''' is a [[feline]] race starring in the [[Star Trek]] novel ''[[Uhura's Song]]''. The race originates from the planet Sivao, where it originally constituted a single race with [[Sivaoan]], but had to part ways with their ancestors approximately 2,000 years ago. That event is reflected in the name of the race itself, as ''Eeiauoan'' means ''outcast'' in their native language.

Eeiauoan are the same biologically as Sivaoan and can crossbreed. Dr. McCoy describes Eeiauoans as 'overgrown housecats'. Eeiauoans have retractable claws and prehensile [[tail]]s, but consider the use of their tails bad manners. However, their natural hunting abilities are diminished due to a long history of city dwelling. There are other cultural differences between Eeiauoans and Sivaoans: Eeiauoans have developed systems of writing and record-keeping, whereas Sivaoans have none. Sivaoans are also [[polygamous]], Eeiauoans presumably are not.

Eeiauoans are succeptable to a potentially fatal disease ''ADF syndrome'', also known as ''The Long Death'' or ''Noisy-Baby'', native to their homeworld. The corresponding medicine stems from a plant growing on Sivao, so Eeiauoans were essentially left completely vulnerable to the disease after they abandoned their homeworld.

The Anyr talons resemble that of a modern [[parrot]]; black, scaly, and four-toed, with two opposing digits, giving them a 'two-thumbed' grip.

Anyr can walk on two legs, but run faster on four. In addition, because of their unique hands and feet, They are also able to climb most surfaces with greater ease than other species, especially thin surfaces such as beams and pipes which they can wrap their appendages around.

Most Anyr grow to be quite large, standing up to ten feet tall when on their hind legs.

==Background==

Anyr are primarily an arctic species, specially suited to spacefaring life as they are less bothered by low gravity and unusual daylight cycles.

Because of these desirable traits, many space-bound outposts are manned by Anyr, or at least have a few on staff. Some communities of Anyr have been living at these outposts for several generations.

The '''Altani''' are a species of alien [[vulpines]] from the [[Other Suns]] [[science fiction]] [[role-playing game]].

==Description==
Altani physically resemble humanoid foxes, with digitigrade leg articulation. They are slightly shorter than humans, carnivorous, and telepathic. They are naturally monogamous, pairbonding for life. Females are dominant in their society; family names are matrilineal. Altani are as a rule very serious-minded, favoring duty and conservatism over individualism and leisure.

==Backstory==
"Old Race" Altani evolved naturally on a planet named Han and developed fusion power and spaceflight thousands of years before humankind. The telepathic "New Race" Altani were created through genetic manipulation and exterminated the Old Race in a genocidal civil war. Generation ship refugees from this war are the ancestors of the [[L'Drey]] race.

The New Race Altani developed FTL spaceflight and came into the contact with the [[Korli]], [[Uquoi]], and [[H'Reli]]. After an initial period of warfare with the new races, half a millennium of relative peace ensues, finally broken by civil war against the Han government. The victorious rebels, along with the Korli and Uquoi colonies, form the [[L'Doran Hegemony]].

Although the modern Hegemony is more cosmopolitan, Altani were dominant during its early history and remain proud of the fact. The L'Doran Universal language which serves as a common tongue within the Hegemony was originally an Altani language.

The '''Na'vi''' are the [[fictional]] [[alien]] race of blue [[anthropomorphic]] creatures resembling [[feline]]s from the 2009 film ''[[Wikipedia:Avatar (2009 film)|Avatar]]''.

== Appearance ==

The Na'vi are [[humanoid]] aliens with blue skin, with mottled stripe discolorations. They stand nine to ten feet high with carbon-reinforced bones. Their ears, located toward the top of their head, are very mobile and vaguely [[cat]]-shaped, while their eyes and nose are unmistakably so. A tendril protruding from the back of their heads allows them to share thoughts and memories with life surrounding them. The [[female]]s have [[breast]]s similar to those of a [[human]] female, and the same is true for [[male]]s. The Na'vi have four fingers on each hand, and are basically symmetrical.

== Culture ==

The Na'vi wear [[Wikipedia:Loincloth|loincloth]] based off those worn by [[Wikipedia:Maya peoples|Mayan Indians]].

They use the tendril on the back of their head to [[mate]] with a life partner, meaning they are bonded, and the bond cannot be broken during the Na'vi's lifetime.

They speak a language named after themselves, and worship Eywa, their mother goddess, whom they communicate with by linking to the Tree of Souls.
