Hawklings are 1.4 meters tall, with a creamy fur covering the head and thorax. Their large, protruding eyes have nictitating membranes, and the have thick, yellow tendrils at the lower corners of their mouths. These are used to hold food, and to manipulate close objects. The Hawklings are carnivores, with sharp teeth, and their long arms end with a three digit and opposing digit on each hand; otherwise they are very humanoid.
The females are slightly smaller in structure than the males, and reproduce by giving live birth to their young. The young are cared for by their parents in small family groups until the children are grown, usually about 12 to 15 standard years. The lifespan is about 50 standard years.
The Hawklings are eager hunters and maintain gaming species through conservation techniques. The Hawkling have also adapted to farming, with a primary crop of Peel, a wheat-analog which provides most of the nutrients required for their growing population.
