Bouv

The Bouv are a humanoid race on the planet Vevoalli.

Name
The Bouv are also called Stone Humans for two possible reasons. One, their skin is covered in gray scales. Two, they are noted builders, especially famous for their roadways. In accordance, some linguists believe that the name 'Bouv' is also related to the word 'build'.

Appearance
The Bouv are stocky and a little taller than the average human. They have large, blue eyes and wear a lot of jewelry and drab clothing that covers most of their bodies.

Culture
Some people claim that the Bouv originally come from an aquatic environment. The leaders of the El'oa, merfolk whose skin is gray-scaled as well, are interested in the well-known literature of the Bouv.

The Bouv practice a form of spiritual discipline, but some would debate if it is an actual religion. They are legendary for their magic-users and priest(esses).

The Bouv are generally xenophobic and their government is extremely corrupt. They barely control a kingdom that has been devastated by war.
