“Homintor have a torso roughly in the shape of an oblong cuboid, segmented into (from rostral to caudal) a chest cavity protected by a bony cage, a soft abdomen only supported by fascia and the spinal collumn, and finally the bony pelvis.
The top of the torso bears a distinct ovoid head whose top is covered with ceratinous filament. Its ventral surface contains a pair of lenticular eyes, a long, roughly hemipyramidal nose ending in one pair of nostrils, and a horizontal mouth. Laterally, a pair of oval external ears are located.
Homintor possess two pairs of limbs, both of them share the same composition of two long segments followed by a shorter, broader structure, from which five appendages branch off, the most medial possessing two segments while the rest possess three. They are attached laterally at the caudal and rostal end of the body known as "hips" and "shoulders" respectively. The rostral pair are used for manipulation, whereas the lower pair serves the purpose of ambulation.
The most conspicuous differences between female and male Homin in a clothed state is that post-pubescent female specimens have an abdomen that is notably narrower than the chest and hips and a pair of roughly hemispherical mammaries (serving as display structures in mating) located ventrally on the chest.”
