Kromsapiod

Kromsapiods are a sapient species which has a natural urge to hunt other creatures.

Biology
Kromsapiods are digitigrade bipeds with muscular arms and a long tail. Their hands and feet are tridactyl, equipped with sharp digits that enable them to cling to walls and ceilings. They have triangular teeth and several spikes over their bodies. Their blood is bright green.

The fact that Kromsapiods have an instinctive urge to hunt other species strongly suggests that they evolved as predators.

Culture and society
Kromsapiods have a deep respect for all life, and while they have a natural need to hunt, they seek out sapient beings who are willing to consent to being "prey". The hunt ends as soon as the "prey" is captured and photographed, as Kromsapiods are opposed to killing.

When hunting, Kromsapiods paint their faces red and inhale vapors that turn their eyes black.
