Origins[]
The Panotios is one of a race of creatures with origins in Greek mythology, legend and folklore. Specifically, accounts of their existence first arose in Natural History (a work written by Pliny the Elder).
Appearance[]
Panotioi appear to be very closely related to humans--any eye or skin color, or hair color, length or texture may occur within them, as can occur in other like humanoids.
Though, there is a very noticeable distinction that sets them apart in appearance from true humans. Their ears are gigantic. In fact, their ears are so large, that they take up a great portion of Panotios body weight (estimated between 20 and 40%, to be more precise).
To accommodate such large appendages, the connective tissue of a Panotios ear often much further down along the face than most other humanoids (in some cases, extending down behind the jawline). Likewise, the muscles which allow a Panotios to wiggle their ears are much more pronounced.
Otherwise, attire can range from Ancient Greek to Ancient Roman to Medieval European.
