Xxurblatons



Xxurblatons are thin, elegant creatures, slightly taller than the average human, the type of creature one would expect arranging peace summits.

However, they are incredibly territorial and violent. These traits combined with carefully calculated strategy make them formidable enemies. Until The Incident (common slang for the start of the war), their advanced technology meant none dared to challenge them. However, the humans had been secretly developing a top secret dark matter technology which gave them an advantage in battle. The XX began to research new and more deadly technologies, every move countered by ever more dangerous weapons from the Human Federation Alliance. This led to the current situation, a stalemate where neither side has the power to defeat the either.

Appearance
Thin to the point of spindly this graceful race has an average height of 7 feet due to evolving on a planet with low gravity.

About two thirds of their height comes from their two legs the feet of which are as dextrous as the human hand. They have four arms, one placed closely below the other. On the rare occasion they do interact with other species they will wrap one pair of arms around their body as a sign of respect, if all four are unwrapped then one ought to fear every move. Their hands consist mainly of their fingers, which are quadruple jointed.

Their heads are long and thin, mostly to accomodate their four large, typically green, eyes. The first pair of eyes are placed, like a hunters, on the front. And the other pair to the side; implying that as they evolved they dominated the other species on their planet. The brain extends from the top of their skull down to the neck, around the back of the other organs in the head. This is due to a need for an increased visual cortex necessitated by the increased ocular capacity.

Notable features:

Dual tounges - this creates a harsh sound when an xxurblatron attempts to speak. As it speaks it creates dual frequencies, one in the threshold of normal hearing and the other too high to hear without a technological aid. Before the discovery of this fact a Xxurblatron could insult you without you ever knowing about it.

Their skin is a pale grey necessitated by evolving on a predominantly grey planet.

Their bone structure is very delicate. In battle they recquire special mechanised armour to increase their capacity to withstand physical force.
