The Tukkav are a physically imposing humanoid race with distinctive primate-like characteristics. They are almost completely covered in thick hair with the exception of their face, hands, and feet. Due to this, they prefer cooler climates. Tukkav mate for life, tending not to find another partner after their mate's death. Females reproduce via live birth after a 11 month gestation period, usually producing one offspring at a time. They are omnivores, suiting their race nomadic traditions. | The Tukkav are a physically imposing humanoid race with distinctive primate-like characteristics.

The Tukkav culture evolved from various independent, nomadic groups, and still retains many of these aspects today. The most significant being that there is no centralized Tukkav government. Tribes still remain notoriously independent, maintaining their own individual subcultures including unique economies, spacefaring, and military infrastructures. They only come together during special gatherings held every decade called the [[Ouran]] or in times of war to appoint a common [[Warleader]]. | The Tukkav culture evolved from various independent, nomadic groups, and still retains many of these aspects today.

They are avid hunters, having caused many of the native wildlife on Uycheon III to go extinct despite their animistic religious traditions causing them to revere and thoroughly use that which they slay.
