Canonically, Tokays have appearead solely in ''Oracle of Ages.''

==Character Creation Brief==
In the distant and uncharted regions of the [[Eastern Sea]], there exists a place known as [[Crescent Island]]. This location is the origin of the strange, lizard-like race known as Tokay. Their society would appear primitive to those from Hyrule: they use a simple barter system for economy, most dwellers walking around without clothes, and the language is an extremely primitive form of Hyrulean. To the residents of Hyrule, this manner of speech, the Tokay's general unfamiliarity with mathematics, and other traits, can come off as primitive, if not stupid.

However, Tokay are just as intelligent as most other races. It is simply that their culture has never highly valued intelligence or knowledge, and as a result it has never experienced the many luxuries--and many banes--of a more mind-centered culture such as Hyrule. Although Tokay culture does not value intelligence much, it does however emphasize amazing physical traits, such as agility and strength. Their bodies don't look the part, but Tokay have evolved to be extremely deft athletes, possessing above-average coordination, power, and concentration, making them formidable in ways which make up for their feral and primitive nature.

It is particularly unusual for a Tokay to find themselves in Hyrule, as its existence isn't even known on Crescent Island. Being [[amphibious|amphibians]], they do, however, possess the ability to swim to it from their isle, though it would be an arduous and long journey to an unknown destination--after all, many Tokay don't even believe there is more to the world than their island and the ocean. However, every once in a great while, a Hyrulean will set eyes upon one of these long-necked, scale-covered, orange-chested, pot-bellied, long-tailed, sharp-clawed creatures... and quite possibly run in fear for their life.

A Okay begins with a [[PWC]] of 2/2/1, having a 2 in both Power and Courage. This starting PWC can be defied by using the [[Exception]] racial perk during character creation.

A Tokay has an innate racial perk called [[Claws]], which enables their natural weaponry to be used in tandem with other [[:Category:Treasures|treasures]]. In addition to this, a Tokay character can have up to three additional [[racial perk]]s of choice. In addition to the general perks available to every race, a Tokay can also choose from:
* [[Amphibious]]: a trait which enables the Tokay to breathe underwater as well as above it
* [[Hoarder]]: a trait which makes it easier for the Tokay to gain small trinket-like items
* [[Nose for Treasure]]: a technique which enables the Tokay to earn an extra few rupees or a [[:Category:Materials|material]] per quest
* [[Seed Collector]]: a trait which enables the Tokay to find a free seed per quest
* [[Seed Expertise]]: makes it easier for the Tokay to acquire {{Field|Seed}} treasures, gain a free Seed Supply

 You’re a hunter within your clan, and as such have spent your life catching fish and hunting small animals on Crescent Island.  You might be handy with a spear or a slingshot, or perhaps your claws.  Your village has few athletes swimmers who could be stronger or more skilled than you.  Although your people rarely war with each other, you’re the closest thing the Tokay have to a fighter, and are the first line of defense for your clan.

+{{RaceIntro|uncommon}}  Although Tokay are generally peaceful and nonviolent, they are foreigners to [[Hyrule]], and bear appearances Hyruleans would typically find monstrous.  Thus most ignorant Hyruleans may regard them as monsters, attack them on sight, and refuse them entry into [[Ruto]] or the numerous settlements of [[Northern Hyrule]].

+Like many amphibians, the life cycle of a Tokay begins with an egg. Tokay lay eggs in clutches of eight to twelve which must be incubated for at least six months before hatching.  Like most races, Tokay have two genders, but unlike most sentient races, a Tokay’s gender is not determined until several months into incubation.  Male Tokay hatch from eggs near the center of the clutch, which are typically kept warmest; female Tokay hatch from the cooler eggs on the rim of the clutch.  Tokay parents typically arrange their clutches to produce an even number of each gender, but they can just as easily arrange for more of one than the other if needed.
 ==Culture & History==
 While not vital information, the following includes further detail on the race's origins, development, and society.

+The Tokay are a young race, and their culture is relatively primitive as a result. To them, barter is a somewhat new invention, and only the most basic of tools has been discovered. The entirety of Tokay civilization exists on [[Crescent Island]], which they believed to be the entire world until very recently. Despite this, the Tokay are just as intelligent as most other races, and they are very welcoming of outsiders.
