Overview
Mumbitanians are bipedal, flightless avian that evolved originally on the planet Eshmur. Their civilization started roughly 50,000 years ago. They are a military minded people and have a long, violent history of warfare. They are not self-destructive, because they do not harm non-sentient life or their own kind and they care a lot for their resources but not much for social wellbeing. They are imperialistic in nature, but manage to balance themselves with a sophisticated form of democratic monarchy. As they do not harm any others of their own species, their race is one nation. The only god of the Mumbitanians is known as Conor.

Evolutionary Analysis
Mumbitanians evolved from a flightless species of bird. Strange aliens experimented with the Mumbitanians, mutating them into a reptilian life form that initially appears to be a dinosaur. Its eyes are large. It has feathers on the top of its head and down its back. Males have brighter and larger feathers. They have long serrated teeth that each have a long, powerful, coiled muscle attached to each tooth. This allows even a merely grazing wound to cause hideous, crippling and lacerating wounds. The teeth only do this when in battle frenzy. Bones in their arms can come out and be used to slash and tear at their prey as well as pumping several milligrams of deadly poison into the opponents system.

Biological Analysis
Mumbitanians are bipedal avians that are covered in bright feathers. They have two arms and two legs with anatomical symmetry throughout their body frame. Seven digits on each limb allow for remarkable agility in working with tools. Mumbitanians are carnivorous, cold-blooded, have an endoskeleton and reproduce through sexual reproduction.

Ecological Analysis
Mumbitanians evolved in a tropical climate. Mumbos is a yellow dwarf star that is young enough to support life in its system. Planet Eshmur underwent a greenhouse effect early in its evolution, producing ripe conditions for life systems. The planet is tilted on its axis so the surface goes under regular climate seasons and weather patterns. Mumbitanians evolved primarily in the tropical regions of Eshmur, migrating to other parts of the planet as their civilization advanced. Mumbitanians are very adaptable with their constantly changing climate. They are not very ecological, but they import all waste to the Hugrof who recycle it. Their species has evolved into various ethnicities that are more conductive to the climates of their respective culture.

Sociological Analysis
Mumbitanians are a war-like, brutal species, who have a love for battle in its many forms. All powerful centres of Mumbitanian civilization regularly recruit soldiers. Most of the Mumbitanian population is in the army. This pattern is not atypical of Mumbitanians society. In their civilized history, the species has continually been in war with various factions for religious, political and economic reasons. Mumbitanians have thrown off this attitude and do not fight members of their own species or needlessly kill. However trial by combat is still extremely popular and many Mumbitanians disobey the doctrines set out for them and fight on a regular basis.

Mumbitanian Rites
Mumbitanians, being descended from birds are very sociable. A juvenile Mumbitanians initiation to a etkuanor or basic warrior involves dancing with their village guardian for all villages, towns and even cities have a guardian or guardians who protect the village. These guardians are seen as heroes and so the pre-etkuanors and the guardians dance, to show that one warriors skill is passing on to the next.
