👽Taeks – the People of Tongua🪸
I want to share some recent progress on my fictional race, the Taeks, who inhabit the world of Tongua.
They have smooth, grey skin – perfect camouflage in the dense canopy of the Primejungle.
The colorful growths you see are their skin gardens: symbiotic fungi, algae, mosses, and especially lichens. Taeks carefully tend these gardens, which serve them in many ways – from nourishment to protection.
The two antennae are called uuls. They function as living radio devices, able to send basic calls across the Forest.
There are two ways you can get to know the Taeks:
🌿 If you seek an atmosphere of the alien → explore short stories from Taek life: 👉 Stories From gentle childhood tales like Nursery Garden to action-driven snippets like Mykomando.
📚 If you’re more of a lore person → dive into the Tonguapedia: 👉 Taeks Discover their history, evolution, language, culture, and technology – a living archive of their world.
Tongua is vast, with space for everyone. So come in, explore – and most importantly, have fun!
