Creature:Benjite

The Benjite are a pragmatic Warrior race with a surprisingly diverse culture.

Physical Information
The Benjite are small bipedal reptilian creatures with 2 eyes, one on the front of their head and another on the back. They have a simple proboscis mouth, a nose capable of expelling toxic phlegm, a large tail containing nutrients for long journeys, simple antlers, and very large spikes for hands.

Culture
The Benjite are notable for their diversity: nearly every city/family has its own way of going about things. However, the species tends towards violence, though this does not necessarily equate to a "kill 'em all" mentality, as Benjite families have been known to gain the trust of other empires, then send them to attack their enemies.

Benjite Kings
In the major cities, a particular citizen is selected as King. The process varies by city, but it is generally either a democratic election or a tournament. In any case, the selected citizen is no longer known by their former name, and is instead called the nth King of [city]; for instance, the Twenty-Third King of Windchest. Kings are used as the "face" of the city in dealings with other cities and empires, and are often in charge of various parts of internal government as well.
