A small, water-dwelling lizard-like race who are so friendly they’re practically harmless. Like the Oocca, the Tokay lack an army and nor do they have protective forces in their own culture, and so they receive their protection through the symbiotic relationship with their close neighbors the Usotami, a race of peoples who are as fierce as they are small. While the Tokay lack the capacity to defend themselves, they are extremely efficient in trading and bartering, so much so that their economy is entirely based around a bartering system. Rupees are something they accept as a last resort, for they much prefer trading for items of true use, such as tools and food. In particular, the Tokay favor cucumbers to a high degree, seeing it as far more valuable than any amount of rupees or gold. For this bit I’m taking some inspiration from kappas. owo
In contrast, the Usotami lack a sustainable economy and have no true idea of how to build one. Instead, their skill lies in combat and hunting; so proficient they are at it yet so incompetent they are at sustaining an economy that their original means of survival was simply hunting and raiding other villages for their things. Their small, almost cute size bellies the ferocity and brutality they harbor, and are known to be able to take down foes 5 times their size. How they and the Tokay managed to become peaceful coexisting partners is a true mystery; it’s joked that the Tokay simply asked very nicely for them not to raid them and instead offered to trade, which honestly isn’t very far from the truth. The Tokay were the only race at the time to be outwardly friendly to the Usotami, and so they were never targeted. Regardless of how came to be, it works fairly well for them.
The Tokay handle the economic aspects of life, while the Usotami handle the protection, and both share the hard labor. As far as politics go, the Tokay typically handle that too, although both races are so simplistic in both mind and culture that they don’t necessarily have any form of real self-governing or hierarchy.

TL;DR: I picture the Tokay being so naïve and friendly to everyone they meet, to the point where the rest of Holodrum could never do anything remotely mean to them. Even to the point where the Usotami, who I’m headcanoning as basically murder coconuts, ended up becoming friends with them, which ultimately lead to them existing together as one collective group of peoples despite them being different species. If you see a Tokay, an Usotami is never far behind. owo

I also think that you can depict terrible things in fiction providing it is properly tagged and not presented as a good thing by the narrative

god dashcon was so fucking incredible. like i know everyone remembers the ballpit and stuff but i don’t think everyone remembers how they didn’t pay the bill for the hotel so they gathered everyone in a big room and begged for $17k. and then everyone did the three fingers thing from hunger games
the fucking APOLOGY PANEL on the last day of the con are you KIDDING ME!!!!! like twitter sucks shit but they could NEVER. and i mean Never top this you genuinely can’t make this shit up.
one of the main entertainment that was announced at the con was steam powered giraffe, who cancelled of course. instead of giving out refunds to people who had bought special tickets to see them they offered them…..
an extra hour in the ball pit :)
oh also on the 2nd day the ball pit deflated and someone pissed in it. so they took it away on sunday
wasn’t the wtnv crew also supposed to be there. and then obviously cancelled too
it should be mentioned that the ball pit was brought by an attendee, not by the dashcon staff. Also its pretty easy to math out that theres some discrepancies between how much money the organizers claimed to have when asking for funds and how much on paper they should have had at that point.
