Very little is known about the Hylotl. They appear to have "fins", as shown by a character creation screen in a developer livestream.[1] During a poll, Tiy asked if we wanted a robotic race or an underwater race. It seems that we got both in the end. They slightly resemble the Mexican Axolotl; the inspiration seeming more apparent in the suffix of the name. It is also speculated that the Hylotl are inspired by Oriental culture. The clothing they wear uncannily resembles a Kimono.
Gameplay effects[]
If the Player chooses to be a Hylotl, certain things are different:
- They may breathe infinitely underwater.
- They lose heat faster than other races.
