Rhea #
Among those who have words, this race is the most mysterious. Rheas are said to be denizens of the plains. They are about the height of a human child, are nimble, and are great at hiding, perhaps because of a natural shyness. At best, they are innocent and heroic, but at worst, they are pleasure-seeking and irresponsible. They possess very sharp wits, making them well suited for being scouts.
A rhea is considered an adult at 30, and they possess a life span of around 100 to 160 years.
