The Jaylay-yay of Inghinfudzolorz (Gvurrdon 1037) are an aquatic Minor Non-Human Race with a semi-humanoid appearance and technologically primitive sophonts.
Physiologsy & Environment[edit]
This race has one rare ability that has not been previously observed in an sapient species -- the ability to give electric shocks. This does not mean that the Jaylay-yay are immune to electric shocks themselves. If the target is insulated, the attack will backfire. In water the target just has to be close to the Jaylay-yay for the technique to work. However, the effect cannot be aimed; it covers a 360 degree arc on every axis out from the Jaylay-yay, forming a globe of electricity.
The Jaylay-yay are omnivorous. They are lightly built, massing an average of 75kg. They have 4 fingers on each of their two hands. The hands are webbed, though not to the ends of their fingers, but the toes have no webbing at all. The Jaylay-yay head holds four eyes; the configuration is such that the upper pair are the only part of the body that is above the surface of the water as they swim. According to studies on their anatomy, the upper pair of eyes have been weakening over the generations due to disuse. Their skin is scaled as a fish, but near the joints it transits to a more leathery substance. The Jaylay-yay's skin varies between a number of colours, being different in each individual, something that makes it easy to tell them apart.
History & Background (Dossier)[edit]
Prior to contact with the Vargr, they had developed only rudimentary technology. A few of their communities had reached early iron age. Thanks to offworld trade and exchange, they have now reached TL-8.
Around 30,000,000 Jaylay-yay are known to live on their homeworld. The world has fallen into the territory of the Anti-Rukh Coalition; this is a matter of decisions made by their major Vargr trading partners, not any commitment to Vargr politics on the part of the Jaylay-yay themselves.
