A Manipulator is an appendage on an organism used primarily for the manipulation of tools and the environment.
Description (Specifications)
Most creatures or sophonts use limbs or appendages specialized towards one of two ends:
- Specialized fine motor limbs called manipulators for the handling of tools.
- Specialized ambulatory limbs called peds for locomotion.
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.
