The Moku: A race currently in the Undra sands in a place known to those who live there as Labin. (Old Undra sand common for maze) They are a race of small winged monkeys with thick silky fur standing only ever as tall as the length of an average human hand (Around five inches tall) with prehensile tails with an average length of four inches and a total wing span average of twelve inches with a weight of around five ounces and a flight speed of 195km/h. Their eyes can be gold, blue, red, green, gray, brown, purple, or black. Their fur always matches the plumage of their wings and their eyes always correspond to these colors.

In their own right The Moku is a strong race able to lift a gallon jug of water all on their own. Little difference is seen between the male and female in appearance needing to view genitals to make a positive identification.
They have an average life span of 90 years but a very rapid breeding rate giving at least twins from each birth and at most eight offspring at a time.
The Moku are primarily glucovores (glucose eaters/sugar eaters) with a secondary insectivore feeding habit.
The Moku are immune to poisons of all types. This is an adaptation to a long bred in skill of their people to identify the poisonous or volatile content of any substance and extract it through mastication alone. They are without a doubt the cutest race in the desert, small, fragile; they learned this habit for defense originally. Over long practice they refined this skill into a staple of their people; they can make many kinds of poisons and explosives that you won’t find anywhere else.
being of the tiny races they see things from a different point of view than the larger folk and find often that what may be secure to the larger folk may infact be wide open to a Moku even in seemingly inexplicable ways. (They have a knack for getting into places no one else can.) Like insects or geckos they have tiny hook pads on their hands and feet allowing them to cling like a fly even on surfaces as smooth as glass.
They seem to have an effect on those around them unless very strong willed that makes the person very... pliable to their suggestions. The person wouldn’t do something completely out of their nature (like make a parent kill their child) but if they asked for say.... some free candy from a merchant they may get a freebee.
Moku do not steal... but they are not opposed to using their cuteness and ability of suggestion to beg for stuff from you. They like to pull pranks like move all your hats in your closet into the shoe closet and all your shoes into the hat boxes... or hide your only set of house keys in your root cellar. However they do not steal. They can get angry however and be very dangerous if provoked... see how happy you are when your canteen explodes in your face with the power of a land mine.
They can learn magic with some effort.
The Moku do not wear clothing and have little sense of modesty in any regard. You may once in a while see a Moku with an earring or tail ring but little else. They wear string belts that easily disappear in their fur that hold their little pouches and needles (usually color coded) which are their common form of combat equipment.
The Moku have no personal religion but are open to any kind so long as it doesn’t forbid the consumption of large amounts of candy.
