They stood on average between 2.6 and 3 meters in height and sported manes of golden hair that ran down the back of their heads.
The Gorvan were arranged in tribes, which was led by a single adult male. The rest were females and offspring. When reaching adulthood, males could challenge for leadership of the tribe. If they lost, they were exiled to start a new tribe. This led many Gorvan to find work off-planet. They were belligerent and aggressive. Gorvan enjoyed hunting, and would even hunt other Horsani.
They were the rulers of Mutanda due to their numbers. This gave them control over the interactions with any people from off-planet. The Empire recognized the Gorvan and gave them rights that were not afforded to the other Horsani unless they were sponsored by a Gorvan.
