They were on average slightly over two meters tall.[Note 1] These young members of society typically followed their families' lineage going into their particular rate.[1] As Manipulars had not yet made the mutation to a first-form, they were identified as "Form Zero" in their names.[2] Manipulars formed divisional groups known as Maniples.[3][4]
