The pouch is designed to protect their growing young, offering warmth, air, and biofeedback to the adult Wrognoth. This pouch is accessed via the throat, and Wrognoth possess a unique musculoskeletal biology to swallow large objects as a result.

However, when Wrognoth come of age to speak, they are considered too old for the pouch. Many Wrognoth face suspicion amidst other species for possessing the ability to so easily smuggle things inside of them, and some Wrognoth even undergo surgery to seal off their pouch in order to avoid intrusive scans.

To use the pouch for anything other than the Wrognoth's own young is considered highly taboo and dishonorable in their own culture, however. Considerable punishments await those Wrognoth who defy the spirits by such an action.

 ==History==
-Though little is known of Wrognoth history, they were thought to always be composed of the same closely-knit clans as they are today. Their homeworld remains unknown to and unseen by Humans, as it is thought to exist in a distant corner of the stars: a part of space shrouded in strange mist that confounds the technology of ships that dare enter there. Even [[Helexith (faction)|Helexith]] does not enter this region of space, and Humans believe the Wrognoth previously bested them when they attempted to conquer their planet. The Wrognoth discovered space travel on their own, without the aid of outside species, and they command a highly advanced civilization, though some other species still consider them primitive due to "shamanistic" practices.

 ==Society==
-Wrognoth society is founded upon honor, loyalty, clan, and religion. Every Wrognoth belongs to a particular clan, composed of several families: an extremely important element of their lives and identity. Blood bonds among Wrognoth are incredibly strong, and Wrognoth even possess unique [[Psionics]] that allow clanmates, particularly direct family, to sense and communicate with each other across limitless distances. This bond can be created among Wrognoth individuals through ritual and is considered the highest of honors. Elders and children are always respected in Wrognoth culture, even by enemy Wrognoth clans, who war only through honorable means. Wrognoth culture emphasizes spirituality and the afterlife; they are known to go to great lengths to recover the bodies of their fallen for proper burial. Likewise, they guard the resting places of their dead with incredible ferocity. Males and females play an equal role in Wrognoth society, though males naturally feel inclined to protect the females, but females are not restricted from participating in battle or certain roles in society. Wrognoth rarely do anything alone, given their unique and powerful bonds, and to be outcast from one's clan is the greatest of shames, worthy only of those who have committed an unforgivable crime; thus, seeing a lone Wrognoth is a rarity and generally a bad sign. Wrognoth communicate using their own language, which sounds harsh and guttural, virtually impossible for other species to truly replicate, but they easily learn the languages of other cultures. The Wrognoths' most unique vocalization is the howl, capable of conveying an endless array of emotions to others of their kind. These intricacies are lost on Humans and other species, save the [[Sarran]].

 ===Religion===
-The Wrognoth religion remains very mysterious to Humans and nearly every other species. However, it is widely known that their religious beliefs are a foundational element of Wrognoth society, observed and celebrated every day of their lives. Wrognoth are highly spiritual, bearing their own form of psionics and possessing an incredible connection with what the Sarran call [[Afaelya]], a spiritual energy. The strength of the Wrognoths' connection to their psionics is rivaled only by the Sarran themselves, whose connection is believed to be different in nature but equally if not more powerful. The Wrognoth have immense respect for the natural world, claiming it to be full of spirits and even saying stars themselves have a soul, and it is with these spirits and souls that the Wrognoth strive to maintain strong and respectful connections. Beyond this, little is known of their exact religion.

 ==Biology==
-Wrognoth are said by Humans to look like beasts, as they have a considerable amount of fur on their bodies, which vary in color among black, white, brown, grey, crimson red, gold, and occasionally a bluish-grey, though always without any other patterns. Their eyes are brightly-colored, ranging in hue from green, red, blue, yellow, orange, white, and even purple. Their skin is always solid dark grey or even black, and their head is bestial, with long, pointed ears covered in short fur and a thick muzzle. Likewise, their heads and faces are furred, and they possess a relatively thick manes, as well as bushy yet relatively short and scrappy bottle brush tails, which helped lend credence to Humans referring to them as wolf-men. Their bestial legs end in paws with massive black claws they can retract or extend with but a thought rather than flexing muscles, as do their five-fingered, humanoid hands; both their feet and hands possess thick, black paw pads for running on all fours, which Wrognoth do frequently. Female Wrognoth possess two complex mammary glands to feed milk to their young, resembling those of Humans; Wrognoth females look similar to males otherwise, though typical of mammals, they are relatively smaller. In terms of size, a fully-grown Wrognoth easily rivals a [[Slashrim#Stage_3|Slashrim Zrillak]], standing considerably taller than the average Human or nearly any other species. Due to standing more erect than the Slashrim, they often appear taller even than the Zrillak, particularly male Wrognoth. Their senses are unrivaled, and Wrognoth are capable of hearing and smelling over great distances, tracking by scent, sensing fear and other emotions, and they are capable of seeing in extremely low light. Wrognoth are known for their hardiness as well as their great speed, agility, and strength, leading some to falsely believe they are simpleminded. Wrognoth generally live under or around 200 years, though some may live longer.

-==="Mating Season"===
+===Har nul===
-A little known and less discussed aspect of Wrognoth culture and biology is their mating season. Once every ten years, Wrognoth of both sexes feel extreme drive to choose a mate for life. This is not a purely sexual drive, despite Human beliefs, but also a spiritual one. Some Wrognoth choose to battle this instinctual drive for a life partner, and some Wrognoth cultures have developed drugs to aid in fighting the call. Most Wrognoth cannot ignore this urge without the aid of such drugs. Denied too long, the need for a life partner will drive the Wrognoth to violent urges, mood swings, and uncharacteristic behavior. It is said a Wrognoth who denies this drive without some other form of aid will eventually go mad over the course of several mating seasons without finding a partner. Some Wrognoth choose to spend this drive in battle, throwing themselves into a berserk rage either against their foes or on a hunt like a beast, after which the calling is spent. This is called the Time of Madness. Rages last different amounts of time per individual Wrognoth. The Wrognoth themselves do not refer to this as their "mating season," as the drive is to take a life partner rather than simply to reproduce with one or more mates. Regardless, this aspect of the Wrognoth is little discussed, even among Wrognoth themselves. It is understood to be a part of their existence, but they prefer not to talk about it openly. Many Wrognoth take offense, should other species reference it.

For other species to mention the har nul is a mighty offense.
 ===Antlers===
-During the "mating season," both male and female Wrognoth grow antlers from their skulls. These antlers vary widely in size and shape, with females generally having smaller antlers than males, with fewer prongs. The antlers are grown in what would be the winter months on the Wrognoth's home planet, regardless of the individual's location, even if the Wrognoth is not facing their once-every-ten-year "mating season" in that particular winter. They are shed during the spring, to be regrown the following year. It is said the antlers of a Wrognoth grow much larger when the individual enters their "mating season." Some Wrognoth saw off their antlers, especially those in the military whose antlers would disrupt their ability to wear armor. Others tie their antlers in particular patterns to control their shape and growth, wearing them as badges of pride and ferocity.

 Both male and female Wrognoth also grow antlers just behind their ears, and these antlers vary widely in size and shape. The antlers are shed during two or three winter months - or what would ordinarily be winter months, regardless of the Wrognoth's location - and regrown thereafer.
 ===Reproduction===
 Being mammals, Wrognoth give live birth, generally to one, two, or three children; Wrognoth have more than one child far more often than do Humans, though twins remain very rare. A couple almost always mates for life, particularly as Wrognoth are known for the sense of loyalty bred deep into their culture. Wrognoth are not capable of producing offspring with Humans or any other Native species.
 ===Lifespan===
 Given their reputation for high endurance to most any hardship, Wrognoth are hardy enough to live to very old ages. The oldest Wrognoth lived to be around 250, although most do not make it far into the 200's.

 Some Wrognoth saw off their antlers, especially those in the military who do not want them potentially getting in the way. Others, however, wear their antlers as a kind of symbol, regardless of their vocation - some warriors even tie their antlers in particular patterns to control their shape and growth, carrying them into battle as a badge of pride.
 Physical Capability
 Wrognoth have astounding physical power, with great strength and speed. They have acute senses, as well as the ability to "sense" fear and other emotions, and they can see even in extremely low light, leading Humans to say they can see in the dark. They are capable of running on all fours at high speeds for extended periods of time. The Wrognoth are well known for their endurance, and they are hardy against both injury and disease.
 Although they give live birth, the Wrognoth have a very strange attribute to aid in the rearing of their young: every Wrognoth - male and female - has an inner pouch in their abdomen. While Humans compare this to the pouches of marsupials, and they are indeed similar, they are not used for holding undeveloped young, nor are they the same as pregnancy. The Wrognoth access this pouch via their throat, and the Wrognoth have developed a unique biology to let them swallow remarkably oversized objects. It is not uncommon for a Wrognoth to "swallow" one or more pups to allow them to sleep the pouch. Such a trait has aided the Wrognoth in relocating and protecting their young since before the Wrognoth began to build cities, and, some speculate, before they fully evolved. Although the pouch is often considered unnecessary in modern Wrognoth society, many Wrognoth still make use of it, particularly if a pack must flee when a city is raided by a rival. Seeing a Wrognoth swallow their pups into the pouch has led to Humans claiming that Wrognoth eat their young, which is far from the truth. A Wrognoth's pouch can expand to incredible sizes to hold their pups, and it provides a constant supply of air.
