A Ped is an appendage on an organism used primarily for locomotion.
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.
