Male Lythomir, like the females, exhibit a mostly fur-covered body, with scales on their bellies, neck, and the underside of their tails. Males are generally larger and more muscular than females, with broader shoulders and a stockier build that reflects their evolutionary history as hunters and protectors within Lythomir society. 

**Genital Anatomy:**  
Male Lythomir reproductive anatomy, while mammalian, has unique adaptations suited to their physiology and species-specific traits. Their external genitalia include a retractable penis, which remains protected within a sheath when not in use. This sheath, located on the lower abdomen, is covered in soft, fine fur that blends with the scales on the lower torso. The retractable nature of the penis provides an additional layer of protection, as it is only exposed during mating, minimizing vulnerability during daily activities or in combat situations.

The penis itself is smooth, lined with soft barbs, and tapered at the tip, suited for reproduction. Internally, male Lythomir possess testicles that are located within a fur or scale-covered, scrotal pouch situated close to the body, helping to protect these organs during physical activities or combat. The placement near the body also assists in maintaining optimal temperature for sperm production, quite similarly to that of humans.

**Hormonal and Physical Traits:**  
Male Lythomir are typically more robust and muscular, a trait linked to higher levels of testosterone, which influences their greater physical strength compared to females. This physicality is advantageous for their roles as protectors and laborers within Lythomir society, even though they defer leadership and political duties to females.
