'''Hanakans''' are a playable race of sapient, spellcasting [[dinosaur|raptors]] from the universe of [[Starfinder]], introduced in the Alien Archive #3.

Hanakans resemble bipedal oviraptors, with long, lean bodies standing on two legs, thin arms lined with feathers, a flexible neck, and a long, whiplike tail ending in a fan of feathers. Each grows a unique crest of feathers from their head that, combined with their tail fan, enables them to express the broad range of hanakan emotions and forms the basis of their somatic language. Hanakans are omnivorous, using magic to grow a variety of crops and rear cattle-sized, herbivorous spiders called vanshas. The average hanakan stands 2-1/12 feet tall at the shoulder, measures 4 feet long from nose to tail, and weighs around 25 pounds. Hailing from a world of weather extremes and cataclysmic volcanism, hanakans have evolved a symbiotic relationship with a bacteria in their lungs. This symbiosis allows hanakans to quickly adapt to changing climates and toxic gases and has helped them expand their civilization across the six planets of their home system well before Pact Worlds explorers made first contact.

Hanakan religion teaches that they have two souls: a “child soul” that every person is born with, and a ssenavar, or “high soul,” that they create.

These daring adventurers work on behalf of distraught clients to recover lost or stolen soulstones.

Perhaps the weirdest thing about hanakans is that, like all creatures native to the Ash'Akan system, they have a powerful instinctive affinity for magic. Whereas most other races in the Starfinder universe developed at least some level of technology, hanakans grew into a starfaring race entirely through the study and mastery of magic. Even space travel is traditionally achieved through [[Spelljammer|enchanted vessels]], powerful teleportation spells, and portal networks. In fact, they regard non-magical technology as, frankly, obscene; at the very least, if it runs on electricity, then hanakans hate it - precisely why, nobody is quite sure, as there's no explicit religious or philosophical dogma calling upon hanakans to abhor magic. This, understandably, keeps them reclusive in a universe largely dominated by technological races; when you view [[technomancer]]s in much the same light as the traditional [[Dungeons & Dragons]]s setting views [[necromancer]]s, and [[mechanic]]s as something even worse, you're in no great hurry to go amongst people who casually use tech. Even the uncommon hanakan weirdos who leave Ash'Akan ''because'' they like technology still tend to prefer so-called [[magitek|hybrid tech]] over pure technology.
