They are slow to make friends and enemies, and even slower to forget them. They reply to petty insults with disdain and to serious insults with vengeance. Mukosans don't like to have to deal with the problems of everyday life, and labour of all kinds are considered dull.

Mukosan ancient history holds that it was from his blood, shed in battle, that the Mukosans first arose. Mukosans take meditation seriously, and meditate in a deep trance for at least 4 hours a day. While meditating, a Mukosan dreams, though these dreams are actually mental exercises that have become reflexive through years of practice.
