| rdfs:comment | - Champas are a unique type of creature which was domesticated on Nibiru. Comparable to the horse, they are ultimately faster and smarter than their quadruped counterparts. Being bipedal has its disadvantages, however, and it possesses a smaller carrying capacity than the horse, and so the horse dominates the work market, while champas are used in transportation and racing. Champas are noted for their occasional bursts of cunning insight, a pair of hands capable of manipulating objects in a crude fashion, their kangaroo-style hopping for long distance running, and their unique communication, a musical array of flute-like twitters, trumpeting blasts, and deep low hums. They are omnivores, but typically only eat meat by scavenging.

| abstract | - Champas are a unique type of creature which was domesticated on Nibiru. Comparable to the horse, they are ultimately faster and smarter than their quadruped counterparts. Being bipedal has its disadvantages, however, and it possesses a smaller carrying capacity than the horse, and so the horse dominates the work market, while champas are used in transportation and racing. Champas are noted for their occasional bursts of cunning insight, a pair of hands capable of manipulating objects in a crude fashion, their kangaroo-style hopping for long distance running, and their unique communication, a musical array of flute-like twitters, trumpeting blasts, and deep low hums. They are omnivores, but typically only eat meat by scavenging. The head crest of the champa serves a fourfold purpose. It regulates temperature by releasing excess heat out of the thin skin in the area, it provides marking and status among the herd, and the two bony protrusions are the source of its music. They are hollow, and with its powerful lungs it blows through them, opening and closing the pores along its length to produce the desired tone. The call of champas can extend for miles, making them very noisy creatures. The last purpose of the crest is actually a third ear, sensitive to vibrations and able to pick up the distant noises of other champa.
* Because of this, champa have a +4 racial bonus to Listen checks. Trumpet Champa have a +8. Champas speak their own musical language, but understand Common if domesticated.
