=== Lutrynes ===
''Main Article: [[Lutryne|Lutrynes]]''[[File:Otter by Beth Morell.png|left|thumb|250px|Artist's Depiction of a Lapimuhyoan Lutryne]]
Lutrynes are a species of anthropomorphic humanoids with many recognizable otter-like features and characteristics. Scientists who subscribe to the [[Bipedaliforma|Unified Bipedalism Theory]] believe that [[Lutryne|Lutrynes]] belong to the species ''Vidrus vidrus'' and that they are distantly related to the Ailurines. Larger than their more primitive counterparts, lutrynes in general have similar fur markings, with brown, black, and white patterns being the most prominent. Their bodies consist of a larger brain capable of more precise and faster execution, when compared to their quadrupedal counterpart. The lutryne body is considered rather thin and sleek, a result of their aquatic-based ancestry. Lutrynes heavily inhabited southwest [[Gondwana]] and the nearby regions where they evolved. However, [[Tretridian Southwest Gondwana|Tretridian colonization]] in the 18th century and subsequent 20th-century warfare has caused their population to decline precipitously in some areas.
The race is regarded as generally fast and agile in aquatic environments, with their species typically maintaining a relatively thin layer of fat and a very dense layer of fur. Outside of the water, the lutryne body underperforms, yet still retains its ability to stand upright, walk, and run, among other things. Maintaining an average height of around 5 feet, and weighing in around 120 pounds, Lutrynes are relatively small compared to humans, though they enjoy a similar lifespan. Lutryne body proportions are almost identical to human proportions by a scale of 3:4. The senses of the species are, for the most part, superior to humans, with the exception being hearing, which was evolutionarily less important than sight and smell.
