Trivores (singular; Trivora) are type of Kaolinean people.
They are born when one of the unhatched embryo attacks other two, devouring them to itself, creating one organism. The order of this invasion can result to three types of Trivora; Agro, Medium, or Pacifista.
During the time Kaolinean females used to lay their eggs to simple warm sand-bed, the birth of Trivora was quite common, yet somewhat frowned upon as it was seen as a result of carelessness of the parents, but with the more developed and controlled egg-lay beds, the Trivores have mostly vanished from the societies of Kaolinean people.
Few remain still though, as some Kaolinean refuses to use developed techniques, saying the result of hatching should be on the nature's hands only.
Also, few Kaolinean governments are reported to purposely allow the hatchings of Trivores to train the hatchlings as the private armies that are hired out for other countries as elite soldiers on wars.
As a result, most Trivores these days are soldiers, as in the times past they were most likely criminals or vandals due their innate agressive tendencies.
These days, in most Kaolineas societies the parents are law-bound to report the hatching of trivora, in which case the hatchling is transfered to the government-funded nurture-and education institution.
Appearance:
Due the natural arrance of the way Kaolinean females lay their eggs (male-female-male), most Trivores are males with less than 1:15 chances of female hatching. These female individuals also bear the appearance more similar to Trivora males than other Kaolinean females.
Skin:
Although the skin of Trivores can be of any colours that other Kaolinean people have, the shades of brown and brownish grey are most common. This is believed to be the result of untimely exposure to bacteria during the embryo's movement from egg to another.
The skin is also usually more hardened as the result of training and different way of life.
Markings:
The natural markings of Trivores lay in same areas as other Kaolinean people; the forehead frill, shoulders, lower parts of pectoralis major, upper center part of abdomen, crotch, knees and elbow. The coloration varies in shades of green, blue, red or violet.
Unlike from Kaolinean males, the colour is not full-flared all the time, but can be seen dulled all the times and brightens up at will unlike the Kaolinean females whose coloration flares up only when exited or afraid. This is mostly seen in battles where the Trivores take part, and serves as warning and frightening-signs, a "war-paint", if you will, aiming to make Trivora individual fringtening and big in the eyes of the opponents.
The act of piercing and tattooing is more wide spread among the Trivores than other Kaolinean people.
While most Kaolinean tattoo only their jaws or cheeckbones, the Trivores have their whole face, and in many cases neck and shoulders, tattooed. These markings have scarification made over tattoos combined with piercings (mostly in tongue) and they bear complicated meanings and rank system that can tell the story of the individual Trivora's life from his tribe to his battles, position on the forces and so forth for the person familiar with this sophisticated code.
Tentacles:
Unlike the other Kaolinean people, Trivores retain the command of their head-tentacles even after the aquatic-state. This is archieved by training the hatchlings in water as well as on the land so the skill can not be forgotten.
As a result, the head-tentacles of adult Trivores don't atrophy and are somewhat longer than other Kaolinean people.
Eyes:
The eyes of Trivores can be of any colour of the rainbow, just like the other Kaolinean people's, but again, probably as the result of bacteria-exposure as mentioned above, the shades of yellow and violet are more common among the Trivora individuals.
Forehead Frill:
The frill on the forehead of the Trivores is tad bit larger and taller than those of other Kaolinean people.
This is the result of the highened hormone producing that is tied to the training as the body of the individual gets used to constant fighting.
Life Cycle:
Aquatic-state:
As all Kaolinean people, Trivores go trough the state immediately after the hatching where they live totally on water.
Unlike the ordinary Kaolinean, the Trivores are never put in the water by the adults, but are required to crawl there by their own, like in the primitive ages.
This is seen as the part of the training that prepare the hatchlings to the army-life, and the water tank contains any and all the hatchlings the training center has, so that the different aged hatchlings need to get used to survive among eachother.
The almost-developed Trivore descendants are moved to another tank later to make sure they don't harm the highly smaller hatchlings.
In this state the training is slowly started by releasing faster, more difficult to obtain prey to the tank as the food of the descendants.
Training state:
As the Trivora descendants reach the state where they move to land, the more serious training is started.
They are trainded in fighting-skills, tactics and survival to ensure their cabability in the forces they are later send on.
They are still put in to the water constantly to enable them to retain their command over their head tentacles. The aim of this training is to ensure the individual's survival even in the situation where other sorces of food are unattainable.
Adulthood:
Upon reaching the adulthood, the Trovores have been trained to be capable soldiers; they are assorted and sent to the different troops to serve rest of their lives with other of their kin.
While the lifespan of other Kaolinean people reaches easily the century of life, very few Trivora lives over their mid thirties.
The oldest recorded Trivora individual reached the age of forty-seven, before he was killed by other Trivora in duel between said two individuals.
Reproduction:
The Trivores are all sterile and so unable to reproduce among themselves or with ordinary Kaolinean people. This is believed to be yet another result of untimely hatching during the embryo-devouring.
