Dodkuler are a magickal curiosity -- sentient spheres possessed of telekinetic powers and strange
minds, which do not interact with knowledge or information in the same way as most anthropic
sentiences. Though lacking in most of the capabilities of normal thought, dodkuler possess an
unusual capability to assimilate information without external assistance -- though what use they can
put such knowledge to is questionable, lacking as they do the ability to exercise volition or
creativity.
Legends of the origin of dodkuler are numerous; some claim they were created by mages, while others
assert that they are the lost children of the lothari's first ill-fated pact which transformed them
into their current forms. Scholars continue to debate the possibilities, but the dodkuler offer
little assistance.
In order to create a dodkul character, one of your other characters must have advanced to level one
thousand.
It would cost you 20 lux to make a character of this race.

In addition to those listed in the racial info, dodkuls also possess the traits Awareness, Hebetude, Anhumouricity, Anagonia, Aphobia, and Anhedonia.
Dodkuler have been updated so they cannot move even with Wingless Flight or wings granted by something like OZM spell Welkin Wings.
Dodkul no longer can be warped by a warpstone.
Dodkul lack the cognitive capabilities to set normal specialty degrees, think, concentrate, subvocalize, will, or understand language. They can set their autodidactic specialties. One may think their great autodidaction allows them to dedicate it to something useful, but given their simple sentience, it's rather useless.
- Trivia: During character creation, dodkuler have minimum, current and maximum (meaning the stat can't be changed) of Strength 50, Vitality 100, Agility 30, Size 30.
[2023 Oct 10 20:28] [OOC Aummius] I found it interesting dodkuler have Indeterminate instead of Neuter sex [2023 Oct 10 20:28] [OOC Pecolton] The Supreme Gathering of Awesomely Metachrotic Individuals [2023 Oct 10 20:28] [OOC Rebus] Shoggoths, honorary octopuses! [2023 Oct 10 20:29] [OOC Aeriella] Yeah nobody really knows what's going on with dodkulur [2023 Oct 10 20:29] [OOC Aummius] golemim can speak, see, fly, use tools... dodkuler got the short end of the stick [2023 Oct 10 20:29] [OOC Aummius] they can't move, talk, see, think [2023 Oct 10 20:29] [OOC Aummius] budget issues [2023 Oct 10 20:30] [OOC Aeriella] We'll make a way to build golems out of dodkulur [2023 Oct 10 20:30] [OOC Aummius] poor things they really need it [OOC Aummius]they surely must know about their Star Sapphire brethen [2023 Oct 10 20:30] [OOC Rebus] Sentinels 2.0! [2023 Oct 10 20:30] [OOC Rebus] Dodbots! [OOC Aeriella] lol yeah -- sentinels 2.0 requires you to team up with another player who's a dodkul to use your armour [2023 Oct 10 20:32] [OOC Rebus] I was thinking more just the suit as a body for a dodkul, but that is way more amusing [OOC Aliceia] Aww, cute, imagine a quest to make a poor discarded dodkul an artificial body. And the dodkul npc spawns somewhere random on the game map every reboot. :D
