Prektivan

The Prektivan are a race of semi-humanoid creatures that live a subterranean lifestyle and possess an animal-like appearance with a strong resemblance to moles. They stand at around 3’4’’ and are generally a little pudgy, their eyes naturally develop to be nearly closed at all times due to the lack of light, so they primarily rely on other senses to find their way around while this also helps them to cope with the light on the surface. While they are accustomed to and only set up their cities and societies underground, it's not uncommon for them to also dwell on the surface amongst various other beings and living similar lifestyles as they do. They're well known as being the most economically advanced race in Temaldria as they're the main workforce and suppliers of various minerals that can be mined from the planet. It's for this reason that they dominate the mining industry and are also known for the ingenuity in machines, methods, and devices used for excavation of raw materials.
