Background: The home world of the Ptilian race is a hot, desert-like world with a very small number of bodies of water. As the dominant life form, the Ptilians prey upon the lesser creatures to sustain existence. Their cities are made up of sand-stone like structures are built into and under the ground, providing some balance to the heat. The Ptilian prefer extreme heat to extreme cold, as the later causes them some difficulties.
The Ptilian economic system is built upon a bartering structure, and the species is very skilled in the art of negotiations. In fact, from a very young age, it is drilled into them by the elders on how to deal successfully - gaining the maximum while providing as minimal as possible in exchange. This is how they have come by getting much of their advanced technology as well as those who can maintain it. They are not above using other weaker races as slaves to do their work for them. Acquiring space travel capabilities allowed the Ptilian to expand their sphere of influence. However, due to their slight xenophobic nature, they tend to trust very few they encounter even after they have transactions with them.
Appearance: The Ptilians are a reptilian-humanoid race. They have evolved over generations so that they walk on their hind legs and have developed hand digits used for fine manipulation. Their skin is covered with green scales from head to toe. They also have flexible tails that can vary in length from one member of the species to another. Their eye color ranges from an orange to a red shade. They have forked tongues that can range up to ten inches in length. Their offspring are born from eggs that are laid and hatched by the females of the species. |
