Culture: The Mokh are a violent, territorial, and solitary tribe, who can barely stand the presence of their own tribal members. It is very rare that they gather as a whole, and when they do, the gathering turns into an orgy of bloodshed stemming from territorial disputes. Survival is also another key factor in the Mokh's life, as it is with most Crinosians. Mokh view Sha'crin as tools for weaklings, they themselves rarely use any form of it. However, ritual among them is important, as well as omens. The Mokh are also a very artistic race, priding themselves upon their etchings and sculptures, and concentrating very much upon tattoo art. Mokh rarely befriend anyone, and when they do, it is a monumental occassion, for they hold much pride in their companion, as well as themselves. It is even rarer still that a Moh will take one into their blood circle, joining another in the binding rights of the Sha'gen, or spirit siblings.

The aspect of authority among the Mokh is very sketchy, most Mokh seeing themselves as in charge of only themselves. However, elders that pass the age of 200 seasons are given much respect, and those that reach the venerable age of 500 seasons are given even more, though with a hint of suspicion. Those that do live past 500 seasons are known as Len'ar, and there are only three or four existing at any given time (it being a rare event thata Mokh lives that long). The Len'ar are Mokh that have shed much of their violent natures and turned towards Sha'Crin and knowledge. The Len'ar still possess a violent side, though their fuses are much, much longer than most Mokh's.

Forms have little meaning to the Mokh, though each does have its purpose.

Dimoh: As dimoh, the Mokh are very large, and dark skinned. Some Mokh can reach heights of 8' or more, the average being around 6'8". They are always very muscular, due to their combative/physical natures, and most are bald, though a few can grow short, wiry manes of hair. The hair that they do have ranges in color from light-blue fading into a dark green. Also, all Mokh have all manner of jewelry and tattoos covering their bodies. They wear very revealing light clothing, some opting to wear only body paint, no clothing at all.

Khiulnter: They are very large crocodiles, ranging in length from 12' to 25'. They will have dark to light green scales, some possessing black streaks, and even some hints of jewelry.

Dimoh-Khu: This is a nightmarish mixture between human and croc. Most will have scaly green torsos and clawed hands and feet, as well as tails, the torso being human-like. The head, however, will be that of a massive croc, lined with row upon row of razor- sharp teeth. The coloring is much the same as Khiultner. Height will be in the 10' to 14' range, some even larger.

Applications of the forms are very unspecific, for they hunt in all. They tend to show their Dimoh-Khu form to outsiders while in their territories, or only their crocodile sides. However, when away from their homes, they will walk as Dimoh. They most often mate as Dimoh, finding it a more pleasureable experience, though it is not rare that they will mate as either of their other forms.
