M'shento'su'Nikto

The M'shento'su'Nikto, or Southern Nikto, were a reptilian species of humanoid sentients native to the southern, more remote areas of Kintan. They were an uncommon sight, usually preferring their homeworld over others.

Biology and appearance
The physical appearance of the M'shento'su'Nikto was virtually the same as other Nikto, as they were humanoid, reptilian, featured five-digit hands and feet, and had very smooth, unnoticeable scales. Their facial structure differed from that of other Nikto in that they featured no frills or fins. However, their skeletal structure in their faces was very complex, as they possessed an extremely well pronounced supraorbital ridge over their eyes, and very definite cheekbones. They had the same nasal structure as the Kajain'sa'Nikto, a short flap, and a semi-permeable membrane over their nostrils, to prevent the inhalation of debris. In addition, they also possessed several breathing tubes on each side of their neck, more than the Red Nikto, but smaller openings. They opened and closed involuntarily. These tubes also possessed sensitive cochleae, eventually connecting to the inner ear and connecting to the brain, giving them the capability of ultrasonic hearing. Like all Nikto, they were ovoviviparous, and were born with a thick, double layer of scales, in which the first layer is shed off after five years. The Southern Nikto inhabited the southern areas of Kintan, reddish deserts.
