The Idilos of Damidil are a Minor Non-Human Race native to Zhadl Vizh Subsector of Chiep Zhez Sector.

They have a non-humanoid appearance.
Their technological competency is rated as developing.

Description (Specifications)[edit]

The Idilos are a minor sophont species.

An adult Idilos measures around 2 meters in height and typically weighs around 60 kilograms.

The ancestral species of the Idilos were avians, but the species is no longer capable of flight. Their two front legs are former "wing struts". They also have two small manipulator arms, a large rear perching foot, and a relatively rigid tail that was formerly a rudder and now assists with balance.

Idilos are descended from omnivore/hunters native to rugged highland regions.

They principally consume meat.
They will readily consume roots, fruit, and foliage, as well as any small live prey they can catch.

Demographics[edit]

The total population of Idilos is estimated to be around 700 million individuals. Very few Idilos have ever left the homeworld.

General Psychology[edit]

Psychology[edit]

The Idilos exhibit recognized characteristics of intelligence:

Conceptual thought, including abstract language.
Social structure, including social organization.
Tool use, allowing environmental manipulation.

Idilos psychology is driven by factors common to many sophonts:

Acquisition (stemming from the need to gather adequate nutrition),
Preservation (derived from the need to continue their personal existence), and
Perpetuation (the urge to continue the species).
