Julianus thought for a moment, remembering his biology lessons years ago.  "As I recall, anatomically modern Drakari came about in the homeworld's highland forests and mountains as pack hunters.  When we lacked a weapon during a hunt or lost it, we would often give chase after the game our early tribes needed, usually on all fours to improve speed."  The young monarch motioned to the general body shape of the honor guard, revealing the digitigrade limbs that supported them.  "Our legs were perfectly developed for bolting across rough terrain and helping us climb the mountainsides where we hunted."
