Appearance
Humans can have varying appearances and may also wear multiple tiers of clothing and skins.
Behavior
Humans are playable characters and can have wildly varied behavior. The typical human can be seen scavenging, harvesting, looting or otherwise running amok in any area of the island. Known to tame ferocious beasts to do their bidding, humans can accomplish physical feats and acts of violence far beyond what their meager frames should be capable of. Humans also carry the distinction of being the only creatures on the island capable of crafting and utilizing tools (besides the Mantis), and should be regarded as an extreme threat due to this feat- whether it be a simple stone hatchet or an array of autonomous turrets guarding an impenetrable steel fortress, odds have it any human you encounter is a significant and wildly unpredictable threat and should be approached as such.
