There seems to be a notion that because Aedaha are thin and wiry, they are necessarily also fragile, weak, or "floppy." This could not be further from the truth. The characteristic elegant appearance of Aedaha belies strong bones and powerful, lean muscle that combine with catlike reflexes to render them far more formidable than they might appear at first glance.

An average Aedaha, male and female being roughly the same height, stands at around eight to nine feet (not including ears and tail). This does vary somewhat from race to race but generally speaking, even short Aedaha, standing at around six-feet, are taller than most people they encounter. This grants them a fair height advantage and a wide strike range.

That notwithstanding, Aedaha are often seen as glass cannons since their primary strategy in a fight tends to be "don't get hit" - a tactic they excel at. With a vertical leap of fifteen feet, a horizontal leap of thirty feet, reflexes of a cat, and slender build, their evasive maneuvering makes them difficult to land a hit on. Are Aedaha known for winning knock-down drag-out brawls? Not so much. They are, however, known for ending fights decisively by launching themselves feet-first at opponents and one-shotting them. The Aedaha death-kick can be modulated so as to wind, knock out, maim, disembowel, or behead opponents. This does, though, require a moment of wind-up. Lacking such a moment, an Aedaha may instead offer a half-kick which is less likely to kill but fully capable of winding, maiming, or KOing opponents. Additionally, Aedaha possess clawed digits and strong canine jaws roughly comparable to those of a wolf.

Some races of Aedaha have a thick, long prehensile tail that is as strong as a constricting snake which can be used to detain or strangle opponents. Other races have long, thin tails that can be whirled or lashed like whips. Tails which they may also be used to bait opponents. Anyone foolish or ignorant enough to grab the bait might quickly find themselves on the receiving end of a bite, claw, or most likely, a kick.

Aedaha certainly are not indestructible and do bear a number of weak-points, not the least of which are their long necks and ears which do make for easy targets. All that aside, generally speaking, they are not known for brutality or bellicosity. Still, it would be unwise to underestimate an Aedaha.
