Editing Ped

[[File: Imperial Sunburst-Sun-IISS-Traveller.gif|right]]
A [[Ped]] is an appendage on an [[organism]] used primarily for [[locomotion]].
* [[Human]]s typically call them a [[foot]] or feet. 
* In humans, the attached limb is typically called a leg.

== Description ([[Specifications]]) ==
Most creatures or sophonts use limbs or appendages specialized toeards one of two ends:
# Specialized fine motor limbs called [[manipulator]]s for the handling of [[tool]]s.
# Specialized ambulatory limbs called peds for locomotion.

=== Peds by Number ===
# [[Uniped]]
## [[Gastropod]]
## [[Monopod]]

== History & Background ([[Dossier]]) ==
Evolution is a tricky thing and a very wide variety of evolutionary advantages have developed for different species. These include dual-use limbs, tails, headless torsos, and a very wide variety of ped and manipulator types. While humanoid body plans are very common on standard gravity planets, non-human body types are nearly as common in the same range of environments.
