Description

Kotabi are a humanoid species, native to the planet Kotab, with slim, agile bodies and elongated limbs. Their skin color is white, and they possess distinctive facial features such as sharp cheekbones and slanted, almond-shaped eyes. The Kotabi are known for their remarkable speed, grace, and acrobatic abilities, which they use to great effect in combat or to evade danger. They are also described as intelligent, adaptable, and possessing a strong will. However, due to their reclusive nature and limited interaction with outsiders, much of their culture and history remains a mystery.
