The sivak and the aurak could implement similar work arounds to keep that death throw flavor without killing the character (at least not immediately). On the other hand a little overhauling could fix similar issues for the kapak and bozak. It's not like they'd be the first monstrous race to get a re-write with a new edition.</blockquote>
