The truth of the Hella-lopter race is simple: they have few females, and this is causing their race to die. No more than one out of every ten or so births are female, and rarer still is that female able to produce children for reasons unknown even to the Lopters. Being the survivalists that they are, Lopters therefore seek to continue their race through the females of the other races, which works, oddly enough.
The society of the Hella-lopters is male-dominated. Females are beings to be breeded, and a female that cannot produce children is useless in their eyes. Among the males, usually the largest and strongest Lopter rules over the rest, in a fashion some have compared to the Orcs. Though this isn't exactly the case (Lopters aren't quite so primative in many regards), Lopters also share a respect for those among them who can use magic.
Lopters live in a set of underground caverns, though no one knows how many of these caverns exist and how extensive the network is beneath Tirradyn, as few non-Lopters go in and ever come out. Regardless, Lopters often go up to the surface to get what they need, such as food and those to breed with. Lopters practically never wear clothes, seeing no need for them as their scales protect them well and they are used to the temperature of the caverns, though they may wear heavy clothing to protect them from cold areas like snowy regions. Lopter weapons vary depending on what they can get ahold of.
A Hella-lopter's build and mindset naturally makes him a warrior above all-else, but a few of them have been known to take the path of thieves or rangers. Magic-users are rare among their number, perhaps due to their slightly lower intellect, but clerics and mages aren't totally unheard of, with clerics being the more common of the two. Most magic-users of the Lopters attempt to combine their magic with the natural physical strength of their race, being rather powerful in both magic and physical pursuits, but learning magic is a slow venture for most Lopters.
The children of a Lopter and another mortal race will always be a Lopter. Due to the lack of females among the Lopters, many Lopters seek the females of other races to create their children, most often through rape. Lopters give into their lusts easily, and if they see a being they consider attractive, they will do anything to get ahold of it and vent their lusts on it. Most fear the Lopters for this reason, also because they are most painful to mate with. Since Lopter males are naturally well-endowed and the crystal scales cover their male organs as well as the rest of their body, the mere act of mating can leave a member of another race wounded and bleeding...the weak rarely survive such encounters.
