Gandaru 

'Kindaru there, yes.  And Sinbarl and the last seven or so Gandaru, slope-browed cousins of the Kindaru soon to be entirely extinct...(TtH)

'Furtive eyes the hue of tawny grasses, a kind of animal wariness ...They bore features both human and animal, as if they represented some alternate version of human beings.  Dark-skinned, slope-browed, with broad mouths full-lipped and likely – when not taut with anxiety – unusually expressive.' (TtH)
