Kala

Physique

Full-grown Kala reach a height of up to five meters while weighting around 500 kg. Their bodies have roughly the shape of humans, but their whole body is covered in stones. Kala don't have any heads, their torsos just end flat, with two holes in the stones where their eyes lay, which are almost perfectly round and black. Their face is a smaller hole between the eyes and a bit lower. They only have two fingers on each hand and no feet to speak of. Under the stones that cover their body they don't have any skin, leaving bare skin if stones are removed. This is why the stones are deep inside their flesh, inserted as soon as they reach full height after 5 years they take to mature. During that time Kala are very sensitive and have to be protected by older ones so they don't die. Once they have reached maturity they don't die for hundreds of years, some almost living for a thousand years. The bodies of Kala survive with very little food, only needing the few plants they can find in the high mountains where they live.
