The J'sia of Jesikara (Lishun 0110) are a Minor Non-Human Race and technologically sophisticated sophonts.
Physiology & Environment (Ecology)
The J'sia have narrow wormlike bodies some 6 to 8 meters long and half a meter thick, terminating in a fearsome circular maw edged with blunt bone ridges that serve as teeth. On either side of the mouth are three recessed nacelles housing large eyes. Also spaced around the mouth are three manipulative tentacles, dextrous enough to serve as hands. These mouth-tentacles are two meters long, and are about twice as strong as a Human’s arm.
A J'sia's skin is smooth and colored mauve or deep purple. On its neck just before the mouth are four gill-slits: J'sia are amphibious and can breathe both air and water with equal facility.
Culture & Society (Ethnology)
A race of gentle pacifists, the J'sia often get into situations they can't handle, partly due to their tendency to meddle in other races' affairs.
