Hi crispy-gee , sorry if I bothering you right now but can I ask you a question?
I remember that you published a post about three clans of yautja and one of them is Ki’dto. I want to know a little bit more about this clan, how is relationships between other clans, what are they haunting for and are they used some technologies?
And also if you not mind can we draw some yautja character from these clans?
Hi! You aren't bothering me! I apologize to everyone who has asked me questions the past while, I have not been very good at responding lately.
People can definitely make Yautja characters from any of my clans, sure! That sounds like fun.
The Ki'dto are considered weirdos by the other two Datlokh clans (the Bid'ha and the Dakh), which is a valid opinion. The Ki'dto live in the jungle swamps, which are filled with all manner of deadly plants and animals, many of which are poisonous/venemous/both. Because of this, the Ki'dto have adapted over the years to not only understand the effects of these poisons, but to adopt them into many aspects of their lives. Practical, spiritual, offensive, etc.
They know how to mix things perfectly for specific effects which they use for hunting and warfare. A big part of their coming of age ceremonies include youths making poisons and antidotes, having to drink them and show that they are strong enough to endure the effects, and then (hopefully) proving their skill in antidote-making by drinking their antidotes. If you survive, good job! You may enter society properly.
They're known colloquially as Poison Drinkers. There are practical reasons--ingesting it over a period of their lives allows them some protection from the dangerous flora and fauna that surround them. But they also use it for religious purposes, thinking it makes them stronger in battle, or that it allows some of their shamans to commune with the dead. The poisons (sometimes temporarily, sometimes permanently) affect their coloration, and you can pretty much tell by how bright their colors become just how dangerous they are.
Great at stealth and survival. Some are Hunters. Many of them raise tracking hounds. Not as technologically inclined as many other tribes, including their sister clans. Many live/hang out in small, tightknit groups of 2 or 3--hunting groups that were formed in their training, and probably the most important connections that they have.
Never drink something a Ki'dto hands you. It's a well-known and popular prank among them. Their alcohol is so strong and often mixed with (small, mostly non-fatal) amounts of poison that many Yautja are knocked flat or stumbling (or hallucinating) not long after.
They are considered an important part of the Datlokh alliance but they are definitely a clan that the other two find offputting and they have to brace themselves for interacting with them.
