	Krakun do not consider hekiru to be good slaves, due to their smaller size and unwillingness to communicate with other creatures they are forced to work alongside. It is more fashionable to carry a hekiru in a cage as a good luck charm. Hekiru have also been used as interactive krakun hat decorations for overly up-scale events. Hekiru are especially prone to bonding with their krakun owners, as that krakun is the most important aspect of the hekiru's survival. Whether a hekiru cares for the well-being of other krakun captives is specific to the hekiru.

	Hekiru are a bipedal race. They are short compared to most other sentient races, averaging from 1.2 meters in height to 1.5 at the most. They are naturally built lithe, but laziness and poor diet could produce a relatively round hekiru. They generally weigh 35kg. As a race, their coats are mainly earthy colors. Common colors are tan, light brown, brown, and cream. Black and white hekiru are possible but considered extreme rarities. They have vulpine snouts with a bat-like nose. Hekiru have large, expressive ears. The hekiru have five fingers on each paw and five toes on each footpaw. Hekiru have bobtails for the most part, except on the rare occasion when a kit is born with medium-length very fluffy tail. General practice is to dock the tail to facilitate maintaining a lower profile.		Hekiru are a bipedal race.

	Hekiru are well adapted to dark situations and will suffer in bright light. The entirety of their eyes (pupil, iris, and sclera) are matte black and have a layer that hides any reflection from nearby light sources. They have a pair of ~~small~~ ~~nubs~~ at the base of each ear that are used to detect differences in chemical levels to the hekiru's right or left, painting them a more clear picture on which direction they should move to avoid danger.

	Hekirutec - The hekiru are the only sentient race to come from Hekirutec, though as a species they never controlled the planet. Hekirutec is home to a large variety of vicious carnivores, with most being about half the size of a krakun. The world is generally jungle but has regions of grassland and desert that are largely uninhabited by anything but small reptiles and large arachnids. Hekirutec caught krakun attention for it's very similar atmosphere to Krakuntec Prime. The Hekiru were not initially discovered for many weeks following the planetary surveys.
