Domuz

The Domuz live in and around Gazi Lale Darie. This spectacular archipelago and coastal region has cultivated cultures that massively emphasise oceanic transport, but the Domuz themselves added their own beautiful architecture into the mix.

The Domuz can breathe underwater for several hours, variation depending on individual health. Their skin has adapted and became harder in structures that resemble fish scales. Genetic diversity within the Domuz subspecies plays host to a diverse range of scale hardness, thickness, and colour. The pigmentation of their scales ranges from a pale peach to all the colours of the rainbow.

The Domuz do maintain underwater cities, in which only they can live permanently. These underwater cities are seen as wonders to the Domuz, and living in them is a sign of prestige.

Physical features

Physically, the Domuz are the most unique of all Muz. They have hydrodynamic skin with colourful taints. They have no hair, instead hair-producing structures have changed radically into scale-producing structures that create small, thin, and flush scales in key areas of the body. These areas are usually on the front of the body on the limbs, such as forearms, shins, the back of the hand and top of the foot. Scales in other parts of the body is generally an aspect of individual genetics. Different cultures have their own view on scales and beauty, but generally scales are seen as a beautiful aspect of a Domuz person.

Another strange and somewhat unexplained adaption is pterin as skin pigmentation. Although historically the Domuz have lived both in and out of the water, most of their adaptions seem to be specifically selected for in-water life. One of these is this change in skin pigmentation, where UV resistance became less important. This pigmentation results in a light tint to the skin rather than a harsh change in colour. These colours are pretty much any colour and reliant on genetics, and are most present in scalier regions of the skin.
