* '''Hypothalamus''' - A portion of a [[Human]]'s [[brain]] that links the nervous system to the endocrine system via the pituitary gland. (In humans, it is the size of an almond.) It is responsible for regulating body temperature, hunger, attachment behaviors, thirst, fatigue, sleep, and circadian (sleep) rhythms.
* '''Hypothermia''' - Occurs when a [[humanoid]] body becomes chilled, and loses heat faster than the body can generate more. This is an emergency condition, and can quickly lead to unconsciousness and death if left untreated. Early symptoms include shivering, cold/pale/blue-tinted skin, unsteadiness, numbness of the extremities. Severe symptoms include drastically low body temperature, stiff musculature, slow pulse rate, weakness, sleepiness, loss of consciousness.
