Indigenous Population
Tark has two indigenous population: the woodland Tarkans and the sand Tarkans. The main difference between the two is that the sand Tarkans are shined by the red light. The woodland tarkans, as the name suggests, live up in the jungles while the sand Tarkans live in the desert. The woodland Tarkans are sedentary while the sand Tarkans are nomads. The Tarkans have no opposable thumbs. They hence call humans "U-hands", which, in french, is pronounced exactly the same as human.
