Description
The race of bicapital sapient reptiles that call themselves Da'ida'mokh (which, on their rather straightforward language means "looking at both sides at the same time") inhabit the hot impassable southern forests of Edarneor. There exist several theories as to how and why their most prominent feature has evolved, and scholars still argue, whether two-headedness is a cause for sentience and the upright stance, or its effect.
Some speculate, that the dense, full of natural hazards foliage poses simply too many threats for one set of eyes and ears to perceive and one brain to process. So the other head is bound to notice what the first one had missed.
Others claim it is a defensive adaptation against predators, especially those that just love to go straight for biting heads off (i.e. 90% of predators in da'ida'mokh lands). Even if you get so unfortunate, you still have the second one to go with! This explanation might also work in tandem with the exceptional regeneration capability of the two-headed folk. It has been quite difficult to prove, however: the explorers who undertook the mission and tried to persuade some of the aborigines to test the above theory, quickly discovered that their own head regeneration is severely lacking.
Finally, there are always those who simply suspect foul magic at play.
Whatever the case, the da'ida'mokh really possess acute senses and in spite of their rather simplistic tools of trade make some of the best hunters in the world.
