About
ABOUT TERRA MANTIS:
The Terra Hominids claim that Earth mantis were on board their starcraft for the purposes of research and development, and other scientific purposes.
ABOUT TERRA HISTORY:
Terra Hominids claim to be human beings who came from Earth to Anarkand during one of the many visitations and interactions between the two worlds. According to many of their teachings and old writings, they arrived via starship around 20,000 years ago, or the 10th era as it was at that time, carrying men, women, children, and animals, to the purple planet, but rather than be given the chance to make a safe landing or make friendly contact, they were shot down.
There is no record of this in Anarkian history anywhere, but the Terra, as they prefer to be called, swear by this story. The evidence, they suggest, is in the mere fact that there are animals native only to their lands and no other, such as the Terra Chicken, Terra Cow, Terra Mantis, and more.
Terra Hominids claim that their human form began to change and evolve the longer they remained on Anarkand. Weird growths and abnormalities began to appear, and continued to develop with each and every generation.
