Culture[]
A sentient species that had begun to rise above stone tools. The Crouack live in loosely-organized tribes that have between twenty to a hundred members. Tribes are led by the eldest, save only in times of war when the most able able warrior takes command.
The Crouack believes in a large pantheon of impulsive nature spirits. Worship of these entities have caused some members of the species to manifest metaphysical abilities and receive visions. Conflict among the species are war though occasionally are prompted by the priests receiving visions from the spirits.
Rather than violent, the Crouack are more curious about visitors from other worlds. They only attack offworlders if they trespass on their holy sites or battlefields.
Some Crouack have left the homeworld on passing starships, though do not understand the concept of space travel as most assume that offworlders come from clouds or high mountains.
