The Raz'l were created in 2011, but I just now decided to make them open/show them to other people.A New Species Begins: Like all creatures, Raz'l didn't start put advanced. In fact, they were much more primitive than they are now.
On the planet of Taakuul, a life terrestrial life thrives throughout the forests, mountains, and plains. These creatures are goat-like and possess split hooves and large crystalline horns on their heads. These creatures are both predators and prey to other animals. The creatures lived in large groups called herds, and lived simple, rather primitive lives.
However, that was changed when a hurricane hit the land they lived on.
The land was flooded, and the Raz'l were forced to seek higher land in the mountains. Their population was outnumbered by the predators, which was a sign they were going to become extinct if they didn't evolve.
But they did evolve.
The Raz'l were becoming more intelligent and were growing imaginative minds and began to walk not on four legs, but on two. These newly adapted Raz'l became more adapted to harsh life in the mountains, and when the water disappeared, they were able to return to the land below.
The Start of Agriculture: As they returned to the land, the Raz'l began to harness crops for food within pens. These crops tempted some creatures in, such as deer, cow, sheep, rabbits, and various other animals within. One farmer left his pen unguarded so he could hunt, and came back to find deer in his pen.
The other Raz'l began taking up this new task by herding or baiting animals into their pen. As they grew more advanced in agriculture, they began taking up wrangling animals for mounts. Deer, rams, horses, and asses were wrangled to put into pens. After they became trained in training and mounting animals, they began to try to tame Talibau. However, this idea failed at first, as Talibau were extremely hard to break.
However, they were able to tame Talibau with enough practice. The Talibau became their battle mounts, using their large size and fierce attitude to their advantage.
As the agriculture advanced, permanent homes began to settle. Along with permanent homes came large groups of Raz'l. As a result, tribes began to form.
Tribes Emerge: After some of the the Raz''l settled into their permanent foundations, they began to settle and form tribes. Along with the development of tribes, they also developed individual names, a language of their own, and a religion based on different gods.
The gods were named Tal, Enwa, Numa, Derru, and Anye. Tal, the sun god, was used to describe the lowering and raising of the sun. He was represented as a Talibau, which thrive on their land. Enwa, the moon god, was a Arkturis. Numa, the earth god, was a large serpentine beast with antlers. Derru, the dark god, was represented as a humanoid wolf with large dragon wings. Anye, the light god, was represented as a Raz'l-like creature with four feathered wings.
To please these beings, the Raz'l often sacrificed food to them by leaving them out in the sun to bake.
The chief of the tribes had larger horns than most and usually had very few children. The most fertile of the Raz'l were placed before the leaders and would reproduce when the tribe numbers were low.
However, as hurricanes and natural disasters became more common, live food became scarce. Because of this, the Raz'l tribes fell into a period of chaos and dispute. Wars were started between the tribes that had more territory. The war only ceased when only seven tribes remained on the land. The remaining tribes decided to build a civilization and invest in science.
Dawn of Civilization: The Raz'l began leaving their simple tribe life behind and leaving huts for better houses. They began harnessing lightning for electricity to run their city. As their yearning for technology grew, so did their want for space exploration. They left their religion behind and look towards science. The Raz'l began building satellites and launching them into space. Soon, the satellites became drones, and those drones into shuttles.
The Raz'l began to man their spaceships and send them off into space. At first, it was just to orbit their planet. Then, they began sending them to their moon.
Rise of the Space Age: As they advanced into space, they began to colonize different planets. As they did this though, the Raz'l encountered other races and species. One such example were the Takara. The Takara had the head of a wolf, the mane of a lion, the hind legs of a dragon, clawed hands, and horns of a ram. The Raz'l saw the Takara as a threat and made a desperate attempt to wipe them out.
The Takara defended themselves with technology greater than the Raz'l's, and managed to drive them out of their land. The Raz'l were desperate to wipe them out and began to advance on their tegcnology as well. After their power was equal to that of the Takara's, the Raz'l declared a war. The war went on for years until a large solar flare occurred. The massive flare destroyed the Raz'l's technology, throwing them back into the tribal age.
The Takara spared the distressed Raz'l and canceled the war. Some of the Takara were dropped down on the Raz'l's planet in an attempt to help them, but that failed. As tribes of Raz'l began growing again, the Takara either left or started tribes there as well.
Appearance: Raz'l look like humanoid goats with digitigrade legs and hooves split into thirds on their hind legs. Raz'l have thick, furred raptorlike tails. They have three to four fingers, each with hard, black, clawlike nails. Their muzzles look like a mix between ape and goat muzzles, and their teeth are omnivorous. Their top canines come before the bottom canines instead of vice-versa.
Their fur color varies from blue, black, grey, white, yellow, tan, or brown. Their markings vary, and are usually yellow, white, or tan. The Raz'l's eye colors vary from black, brown, blue, green, red, orange, and light lavender. Their horns are crystalline with varying colors and shapes; no two horn shapes are the same.
Behavior: Raz'l can be territorial and aggressive, but are not always. The females are often more aggressive towards the males, and the males often more aggressive towards females. When fighting, Raz'l will often use their horns for both defense and attack. Raz'l can be easy to ally with, but are also easy to aggravate.
