Physical Description

The Mirrubani are a species-complex of six closely related but widely varying species. All of them feature a nursing pouch of greater or lesser size, as well as a metabolism that features an autonomic toggle between modes of dwarfism and gigantism; Mirrubani in conditions of nutritional excess will continue to grow in height throughout their adult lives, albeit usually at a slow rate. While height therefore is not always a sign of age, it is however a sign of plenty and age together. This also means that obesity is a very rare condition for any Mirrubani species.
