Rahuldaks

Rahuldaks are a fictional sapient species appearing in speculative fiction and tabletop role-playing settings. They are described as humanoid in build but display regionally variable traits, including distinctive markings, language-based vocal displays, and kin-based social structures. The name Rahuldaks is consistently used to refer to both the species and its members.

Typical Rahuldaks stand between 1.6 and 1.9 meters tall. Skin tone ranges widely, with markings that function in social signaling. Eye colors span blues, greens, and ambers. In many depictions they have dexterous hands with long fingers and an enhanced sense of hearing; some versions include mild bioluminescence in their skin and hair, used during night rituals or performances.

Story worlds place Rahuldaks across archipelago and coastal cities, often in densely networked communities that value oral history and communal decision-making. Technology levels vary; in many works they favor sustainable energy and cooperative economies. Reproduction and life cycles are depicted with extended childhoods and long lifespans, contributing to strong genealogical memory and tradition-keeping.

Rahuldaks appear in novels, games, and media across a shared fictional setting, with multiple authors contributing variants. While the core concept remains a humanoid, sapient species, the details—appearance, culture, politics—differ between works, reflecting each creator's world-building goals.

The name Rahuldaks is a constructed term. In-world usage it combines a common given name Rahul with a pluralizing suffix, signifying the people as a collective group. There is no single canonical spelling; variations appear across texts.
