===The Enemy Races===
Those species who believe the only good human is a dead one.

====Hlüss====
One of the original inhabitants of Tékumel, the Hlüss look like strange segmented scorpions, complete with stinger. This stinger can paralyze an opponent, at which point a female Hlüss will inevitably lay her eggs in her frozen captive. The Hlüss are predominantly found at sea in boats made from their ‘Secretions’. They are allied to the Ssú, and enemies of just about almost everyone else.
====Hlutrgú====
Strange little goblin-y frog men, the Hlutrgú are humanity’s greatest foe. Every year, a swarm of these tiny maniacs emerges from the swamps and goes on raids into human territory, where they proceed to slaughter anyone they can get a hold of for seemingly no reason beyond the sheer fun of it. After this, several thousand of them will get into tiny boats and try to sail across the sea, a journey that invaribly results in most of them drowning. No one has determined why they do this, and most people don´t care as long as it results in less Hlutrgú. 
====Shunned Ones====
Strange skeletal-looking humanoids, the Shunned Ones are an enigmatic race who cover themselves in voluminous robes, further adding to their mystique, and smell like an open sewer in summertime. They rarely leave their underground cities, which are hermetically sealed and filled with a gas that is toxic to humans, but when they do go outside it is usually to collect magical items, which they hoard obsessively for unknown, likely nefarious purposes.
====Ssú====
One of the original inhabitants of Tékumel, the Ssú never really got over the whole ‘being genocided into near oblivion and being made into captives on their own planet' thing. They are friendly to the Hlüss, but are sworn enemies of just about everyone else, and have made it their sole goal to exterminate the outsiders (except the Hláka, who they are okay with for some reason), especially the humans. They are often found in ancient ruins searching for weapons to give them an edge over their opponents. The Ssú have two-arms and four-legs, as you have probably guessed if you’ve made it this far, and come in two distinct subspecies, the Grey Ssú and the Black Ssú. They look about the same, but the Black Ssú are bigger, smarter, and deadlier.
