Suchid is a term used by the Mokolé shapeshifters to describe their reptilian form. The term may also apply to describe a breed of Mokolé born from two reptilian parents.
Overview
When capitalized the term Suchid refers to the reptilian form of a Mokolé. When not capitalized, it refers to a Mokolé born from two reptilian parents.
Suchid breed
A suchid breed Mokolé is hatched from a reptile egg. Civilized homids often consider the suchids’ views on the world to be blatant, brutal, and crudely laced with self-interest. In actuality, suchid are capable of subtler thoughts than “slaying and breeding” (or “fighting and fucking”). When in throes of reptilian frenzy, however, immediate gratification of the id and ego are a suchid’s primary concerns, confirming the breed’s base reputation. (Beginning Gnosis: 4)
Suchid form
Each stream of the Mokolé contains specific Suchid reptilian form, called “Varna” which are most commonly associated with that stream. Because of vastly different sizes and body shapes, a Mokolé’s Rage and statistics for its Suchid form are both determined by its varna.
