Tanu (WarBreeds)

The Tanu are a species native to the planet Aeolia.

Biology
The Tanu were a orange saurian/reptilian species and are the fastest movers.

History
The Tanu were among the creations of the Yedda Shamans alongside the Kelika and Sen-Soth. After the Magha were created, and wiped out the majority of the Yedda, the Tanu and the other servitor races gained sentience and began to compete with each other for control of Aeolia. Eventually the Tanu would join into an alliance with the Kelika and work together to protect the remaining Yedda.

Culture
The Tanu were the first race to be engineered by the Yedda. The original Tanu were lizardlike bipeds, whose sandy skin and lightning speed gave them excellent defenses from predators in the deserts they called home.

In later years, the Tanu have become a fiercely strong and proud race. Their swiftness has become an excellent tactical advantage as it allows them to begin and end battles without fear of effective pursuit.
