Physical sophontology

'Isen' are small (0.7m average height, 25 kg averge weight) frog like creatures, bipedal with webbed hands and feet. They can live both in the water permanently and on land for long periods. They live extremely long lives of around 500 years.

Physically, Isen exhibit a vibrant array of colors, ranging from vibrant greens and blues to striking yellows and purples. Their bodies are sleek and streamlined, adapted for agile movement both in water and on land. They have a smooth, mucus-covered skin that offers protection and aids in respiration, allowing them to breathe comfortably in a variety of environments. Isen heads feature large, expressive eyes with an incredible range of vision, capable of perceiving a wide spectrum of colors and detecting minute details in their surroundings. Their eyes also possess a specialized membrane that allows them to see clearly underwater and in low-light conditions. They have fangs and are venomous. Their primary diet is fish and other meat.

Isen possess a remarkable ability to regenerate damaged tissue, making them incredibly resilient and long lived (500 years average). If injured, their bodies initiate a rapid healing process, allowing them to recover from wounds that would prove fatal to other species. This regenerative capacity has led to an advanced understanding of biological sciences and contributed to medical breakthroughs.

Socially, Isen are highly communal beings, organizing themselves into tightly-knit groups known as "pods." Within each pod, individuals work collaboratively, sharing resources and knowledge to ensure the collective well-being. They possess a strong sense of empathy and cooperation, valuing harmony and balance in their interactions. They have a profound respect for their natural environment, understanding the interconnectedness of all living beings and the importance of preserving biodiversity.

Overall, the Isen represent a harmonious blend of physical adaptability, regenerative abilities, communal values, and a profound respect for the natural world. Their frog-like appearance and sentient nature make them a fascinating and endearing addition to the diverse tapestry of sentient beings in the cosmos.
