Description: standing only hip high to humans halflings or menehune are the smallest of all sapient hominids. Their small stature and other unique features are likely adaptations to their maritime habitat. Large hands and feet allow them to be superb swimmers along with a long torso and short legs. Their curved feet have a semi-prehensile big toe that aids in climbing palm tree and ship’s rigging. Despite their dark skin Menehune have bright flaxen hair that they allow to grow large and naturally.

Culture: Menehune are first and foremost sailors. Almost every member of a community, regardless of gender or age has some basic knowledge of sailing and navigation. While many permanent settlements are established on countless islands throughout the Pacific, Menehune sailors are constantly leaving to find new lands and fishing grounds. Menehune open-ocean fleets are massive floating cities. They are comprised of wide platforms supported off the water by pontoons.

Many consider Menehune to be primitive and while they have no written language and have yet to adopt metallurgy, they are unmatched in boatbuilding, navigation, and aquaculture. Depending on the tribe, Menehune can be either lightly tattooed or completely covered in ink.
