 The Takula can also speak another language, though they never share it with non-Takula. It is called "Takola" and it consists of not only words but hisses and clicks (depicted with an exclamation point '!') along with body language and tail movements. This makes it one of the hardest languages to learn and very hard to actually speak correctly.

	The Takula suffered terribly and many of them died, their numbers shrank and they disappeared into the deep jungles again. They left behind many a lost jungle ruin as a clue to their previous whereabouts but this drop in their numbers also served to hide them from the ever evolving and more civilized Pendragons who were advancing through out the world. Yet now their numbers have risen to they original levels and they have began to re appear all over the world, jungles now seeming infested with them.

		+	It is rare for a Takula to even apply for any sort of government-issued identification. As a result, not many Takula ever make use of the [[Portal Transportation System]], or end up getting a Khorta card. The Takula are the most technologically inept out of all of the races on Ramath-lehi. There are mixed emotions as to what the government should do with the Takula. There are some who believe that they should be sheltered from the rest of the world and have their culture preserved. Others believe that they should be forced to integrate with the rest of Ramathian society. Currently there are laws in place that prevent the destruction of the native Takula jungles, but there are not many laws regarding the preservation of their culture as a whole.

 The skinks are however good at both but great at neither, they are smart and quick making them good hunters and they can do magic too. They are not physical strong though and rely more on guile and agility, they are most commonly shamans or hunters, yet they can do anything the tribe needs or wants.

-{{Stub}}The Takula are a Pendragon subspecies that has been separated in the more remote jungles and dense forest parts of Ramath-lehi. They have evolved to be far more lizard like than any other species, being cold blooded and scaled. They are large, powerful and brooding creatures shrouded in mystery and legend.

 Takula have no fur whatsoever. They are covered in scales that are often very bright and vivid in colours that range from tropical greens to vibrant oranges and reds. Their hands are large and made up of two thick fingers and an opposable thumb. All fingers have wicked two-inch claws on them that can be re-grow if broken and are very helpful for climbing trees and stone surfaces. Their heads often vary quite a bit from individual to individual. They range from having different sized horns to brightly coloured fins or even quills running down the backs of their heads. Takula all have thick tails with the same rules of tail flames as a normal Pendragon, some however have spikes and/or extruding bones showing.
-They have a few mutations from the reptile world that some of them possess, some can change the colour of their scales to camouflage themselves in their environment with frightening effectiveness. Some have projectile tongues that they can use, some can even climb up walls thanks to mutations in the finger scales. They all however, can swim very well and can last for extreme amounts of time underwater due to their vast lung capacity. There are some more rare mutations among Takula, among these are poisonous bites, tongues which with they can "see" with, like a snake, and the strangest is that some are born with a strange feathery covering. The majority of these feathers resemble feathery down, which go away around a month after hatching. The larger feathers which actually look like the feathers one would see on a bird are only located on the tail area, the head in a sort of "mohawk", and some around the arms. This "feather mutation" only occurs in about 1 of every 500 Takula, and is considered to be quite attractive. There is a small mutation which is barely noticeable, some Takula are not as small as skinks, but around the same size as the average pendragon.

 Takula can be very slow and dull witted. However this usually only applies to the males of the subspecies. Though if you cross their paths in the morning when they haven’t had time to bask in the sun, then they all are. They are not stupid though and posses a certain cunning and survivability instincts that not only keep them alive but make them formidable. They can speak English but not perfectly and can sometimes struggle with the language. Takula do not naturally know how to speak Ramathian but the smarter ones can learn it. Takula can write as well but their written language is very simple. They write using a form of hieroglyphics (pictographs).

 === Sexual Dimorphism ===
-The Tekula do not have as many noticiable differences between males and females. While the sexes can often be distinguished by their size they lack any other traits that make it easy for non-Takula to tell the sexes apart. Because Takula lay eggs and do not suckle their young the females of the subspecies have no need for breasts.

-The Takula are very ritualistic and theirs lives often revolve around the tribe shaman and the female priestesses. The Takula have their own god but may also worship more common deities. Their god is a giant reptile like snake called Sykyu which some what promotes violence and sacrifices. It is not uncommon for the Takula to kill a large animal every day in honour of their god. Tribes turn to their priestesses for guidance and instruction on what to do on important dates as well as the best ways to worship. Be it through pray, sacrifice or victory on the battlefield.

 An important aspect of the Takula religion is the use of colour, especially in the more tropical tribes. Takula love to dye fabrics vibrant colours to match their own scale colours. Purple denotes religious purity and devotion. Yellow is a sign for excellence and achievements. While Takula wear very little clothing but when they do wear cloth it always has meaning denoted by it's colour.

 The priestess females, the religious leaders of the tribe, are usually very powerful with their minds, often being extraordinary telepaths. They can even communicate with the entire tribe with just their mind. The most powerful ones travel on a throne that they move with their telekinetic powers. However they are always occupied by a bodyguard team. Being too important to be put in danger.
