Biology
Grome are humanoid in bodily layout, their primary distinction is their boney ridges which wrap their faces, they reproduce identically to Humans bar the fact their young gestate completely in 10 months rather than 9, the Grome have been in decline, following the usage of biological weapons in a civil war in 2059 which has caused the genetics to begin degrading, causing each generation of females to become increasingly less fertile, if action is not taken, this my inevitably lead to the extinction of the species.

Culture & Society
Grome have a male dominated society, they treat females like property, their society has requirement for marriage, males are required to be wed before the age of 25, typically taking at least one wife but polygamy is common practise among their kind, females may only take one husband and they must be married before the age of 18, if a male or female is not wed by the set ages, the Marga Chulda will arrange a marriage, divorce is a concept in their society though the female/females are given no compensation, homosexuality does exist in their species but it is punishable by death
