Euplats have a humanoid build, but they possess the unique characteristics of a platypus: a leathery bill, webbed feet, sleek fur, and a flat tail. Both males and females have venomous spurs on their hind legs.

Culture and History:

Euplats are a semi-aquatic race, living along coastlines, rivers, and lakes. They are known as skilled fishers, swimmers, and divers. Their society places a high value on the harmony between land and water, and they often serve as mediators between aquatic and land-dwelling races.
