Description Saltunian Lurkers - humanoids, which are native inhabitants of the planet Saltuni. 

 There are many Lurker's tribes that differ from each other in their lifestyles, and the members of these tribes have some physical differences (mainly depending on habitat). Although the skin of these creatures is very similar to wood bark, and the fur covering their body is most similar to algae, Lurkers are still creatures of flesh and blood. When communicating, the Lurkers use a system of clicks and whistling while keeping their mouth closed (mouth opens only for eating). Because of the peculiarities of the structure of the oral cavity, and poorly developed vocal cords , the Lurkers are practically incapable of reproducing the speech of other peoples inhabiting the planet. But this disadvantage is minimise due to the natural ability to read thoughts (this ability is manifested only in cases of communication).  
 Most of the Saltunian Lurkers tribes are peaceful and don't have armies or any kind of defenses to resist external enemies. Mainly role of defenders is performed by tribal groups of hunters. 

The picture shows a Lurker-fisherman from a river tribe. River Lurkers are most different from their relatives from other tribes. They have the largest body size, and the skeleton structure doesn't allow the River Lurkers to straighten up to full height (most likely this feature in the skeleton structure belonged to their ancestors and probably somehow was justified. Now it is nothing more than an unpleasant mutation).

I really like the sketchy style. It makes the lurker look more serious and creepy, especially with his arrangement on his...her? it`s ? back Although the fish also doesn`t look very normal, I feel sorry for him fo being caught by such a kind of monster. Well done!

Lurkers were conceived by me as in peaceful creatures and despite their appearance they remain so And arrangement on his back it's just wooden structure for impaling fish that lurker catch.

Thanks for your comment!

My Godness, then they are misunderstood! But it makes them even MORE creepy, a "friendly" creature, who`s mouth looks like hell, with pitch black eyes. I would be freaked out for sure, what a nice concept!
