==The Aznek Joz==

The Aznek Joz are closely related to their cousins the Mosek. like them, they have a strong reptilian ancestry.

Physically they are somewhat smaller that the Mosek,  Their forms although well-muscled by the standards of most species are significantly smaller than their cousins. They average roughly 2000-2200 pounds and stand roughly  six-foot two to six-foot five inches in height.

One of the major differences that is noted when regarding the Aznek is that they possess a slightly different head arrangement that those held by their close cousins.

The Aznek possess the same cranial horn, but this horn is much farther forward on the snout of the Asnek. They also possess a small short jaw horn just behind and below their eyes. Like the Mosek, they possess a beak, although it is not as pronounced as that possessed by the Mosek.

Another major difference is the lack of bony purtrusions from their shoulder blades. Instead the Aznek possess a bony shield that extends from the back of thier skull and protects the back of their neck.  this plate is very similar to one possessed by the ancient terran dinosaur triceratops.

The Aznek although strong do not possess the same degree of physical stamina and strength as is enjoyed by their cousins. They have therefore socially become more connected with the more intellectual pursuits of Joz Society.

They are most likely to be merchants, artists, diplomats and scientists, although there is no discernable difference in intelligence between the Mozek and the Aznek subspecies.

Like their cousins, they reproduce sexually and the female of the species lay a clutch of egges which take three years to mature before hatching.

Mosek and Aznek Joz are capable of interbreeding and it is not considered taboo to do so. Additionally, both subspecies are considered social equals.
