In fact, by my count, there are a whopping SEVEN that are especially warlike (Adarkim, Borlaaq, Budugu, Jhungid, Kharlu, Qerel, Dotharl). Seven, of fifty-one.

I agree that the Xaela are, as a whole, raised in a different enough culture from the Raen that distinct emotes (especially for the women!) would have made a lot of sense, but the idea that their sexual dimorphism would somehow differ seems suspect, to me, especially because the difference is so stark to begin with. What I'm interested in is at what point in their life cycle this size differnce manifests (puberty is a good bet, but who knows).
