Ram Python
Species: Ram Pythons
Home Planet: Pythos
Biology & Appearance:
The Ram Python is similar to its cousin the Python Lizard and is indigenous to the same planet, Pythos. The primary difference is the Ram Pythons live on land. Their skin colorations varies from light gray to deep green-brown depending on the season. The Ram Python is as dumb as a rock, and probably couldn't spell "Cat" if you spotted him the C and the A. But what does that matter, warriors don't care about spelling.
Society & Culture:
Courageous Rams are held in high esteem. Each great deed is told to the tribe at the Sanu (monthly meeting).The most triumphant Rams are given gifts to adorn themselves with. The Rams are warriors and hunters and Rams who excel in these fields gain rank quickly. Ram Pythons are greedy and love treasure, coveting silver and gold and other shiny objects. Never get between a Ram and his treasure. Orion Rogues often use Aluminum foil when tradeing with Ram Pythons.
