Unathi Legs

[Chanterelle]

I was just reading that Unathi legs are plantigrade legs that are jointed backward according to the wiki page. So they have Big Bird legs? I'm having difficulty visualizing what that might actually look like and how that would roleplay.

I thought they had dinosaur like legs

I believe Dinosaurs were digitigrade. Plantigrade is human-like, but what threw me is when they added jointed backwards.

Was too lazy to look up the term haha

But when I did their classification, I did not have bird legs in mind. Most reptiles are plantigrade no? Especially crocodiles which I decided the Unathi were 'related' to. But then again Jack would know more

Most reptiles are plantigrade I think.

Perhaps digitigrade would make more sense since they've got their tails as a counterweight. Plantigrade would make Uneth rear-heavy.

EDIT: Wrong picture, but imagine plantigtade as how a human stands. I hardly think dicklizards walk half crouched like squirrels anyway.

I think they were something like this originally, which is what was in my head.

 

 

Now it seems like they're going for a more bird-like stance like this.

Would Tajara be Digitigrade?

Yes Tajara are digitigrade. If you look at their hardsuits, that aesthetic was incorporated as a deliberate design choice.
