Bwampbs

This race is bizarre, not only that, but the world is utterly hostile to most other races. Evolved on a world with temperatures in the far sub zero range, has trapped this race on this planet. That has not however stooped them from making their own space program.

They breathe a mix of Hydrogen and Chlorine. Something that would normally classify them as an active race, burning energy at high rate.; however this is not so with this race. They are large weights about 400 kilos each, the female is a bit larger. They are carnivorous, with a different method of getting food, than other carnivore races. It uses Psionics to trap its prey, which are eaten alive. This easy hunting method forced them to adapt when their prey got scarce. Thus they began with domesticating of food animals; this lead to their introduction to sentience. Contact with Vargr later on, improved their technology.

Their skin is leathery and yellow, with a iridescent green tinge, and two eyes looking straight forward, but their eyesight is rather poor. They are good at detecting movements, but for detail study they are not good enough. They have six limbs, the forward pair has evolved into arms, which are a bit stocky, making their appearance clumsy. Their head is small, apparently too small for such a large body. However their brain is not situated in the head, but in the chest cavity. The lack of brain in the head makes it rather flat and narrow, with two radar dishes standing out from the sides, which actually are their ears. Usually they don’t wear clothes, but for ease of identification for off worlders, they wear a colored bandolier over their shoulder.
