Oktarh

Etylmology and Related Terminology

The name "Oktarh" is derived from the Ktarh language ([1]), being the demonym form of okæt (cold, old), literally translated to "(People) of the cold".

Taxonomy

History

The current form of the species is presumed to be accomplished some 2 million years ago, and written history goes back three hundred thousand years.

Evolution

Oktarh ancestry is generally unknown, since their evolution coincides with a mass ice age caused by increased albedo of the planet, though it is generally presumed that they have evolved from animals resembling synapsids.
There aren't any currently known ancestors of Oktarh, and all formerly related species are presumed to be extinct as of 1.5 million years prior.

Oktarh are commonly classified as bipedal mammaloid, covered with scales, without hair or fur, with extraordinarily long lifespans due to a chromosome anomaly
