#idk enough about biology for the hairiness factor of mammals xD but a slower heartbeat makes sense for sure!

Hi! I'm a sucker for non-human meta, and I was thinking about the Qunari. Since they are bigger than humans, an average human heart would be too small to distribute the blood in their body, so they need a bigger heart. Not only that, but the bigger you are, the slower your heartbeat is (at least for mammals). So if you were to press your ear against Bull's chest, you would hear his heart beating very slowly. Also it makes sense that Qunari are hairless body-wise, because a big body = more heat to dispel, which would be trapped beneath too many hairs and the guys would have a heatstroke. So next time Josephine wants a heating pad, she can just cuddle to Ari's chest and be soothed by his slow heartbeat :3

Hell yeah same, love me some good non human meta <33 I agree that would be v soothing~
