The inquisitive Govkars are one of the six sapient species native to East Continent.
The long, tentacle-like projections were an extra pair of malformed [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pinna_%28anatomy%29 pinnas]. Without being connected to the inner ear, they did nothing to aid in hearing. However, they did aid in the regulation of body temperature. Over time, they became longer as well as somewhat prehensile (the tentacles can be flexed, but they are not strong enough to lift themselves). Now, they serve as antennae, and are sensitive enough to feel the slightest breezes passing through the Azrach tangle.

In human terms, the govkar seem to be insanely curious, from our perspective, resembling children with ADHD. Though from closer inspection, it is clear that they lack a certain amount of logical thinking that we take for granted. This is because from their perspective, the marshes make very little sense. They don't understand why some of their brethren are suddenly killed by seemingly invisible strings and then dragged to the canopy, they can't comprehend how the wounded looking plant which is suddenly alive again, dragging them towards a giant nefarious looking tree with glee, the fallen Azrach log that suddenly turned into a ravenous Govnik and killed one of their mates is just another nonsensical occurrence, the uncanny precision in which the hunter boomers track them is beyond their comprehension, the hunters that never returned being found hanging from the canopy shriveled is just one of the mysteries of this infernal swamp.
Why try to make sense of anything, when it bloody doesn't make sense?
The Govkar, although curious and capable of learning extremely fast, don't think logically at all, because they don't understand the marshes they live in. In their mind, stuff just happens, and it is all the fault of this cursed marsh. 

There is an odd phenomenon which causes some Govkars to be born with a third eye and glowing tentacles. While the condition is genetic, the traits will not be exhibited without some external influences during development.
