Devaronian



Devaronians are a horned humanoid species from the world of Devaron in the Expansion Region, a planet of low mountains and deep valleys linked by thousands of rivers. It is believed that they are descended from a race of primates that lived in the mountains of Devaron, and that their horns are a genetic mutation that proved useful in fending off predatory birds.

Biology and Appearance
Devaronians are one of the more unusual races in the galaxy, with a dramatic gender dimorphism in appearance and temperament. The males are docile, non-aggressive creatures, completely hairless, with typically red-tinted skin and a pair of large horns growing from their heads. They take great pride in their horns, and groom them quite regularly.

Female Devaronians are covered in thick fur that ranges in color from brown to white, they are hornless and have prominent canine teeth. They are aggressive by nature, and tend to be dominant in their culture - being the only ones allowed in government and politics.

In addition, the teeth of the males are all sharp incisors, but the females also have molars and prominent canines. One in fifty Devaronian males have two sets of teeth, however, having an inner set of sharp "male" teeth and an outer, retractable set of "female" teeth. In primitive times, such males were used as solitary scouts by Devaronian tribes, since they could survive on either meat or plants. Males also possess an extremely long tongue, though whether females shared this trait is unknown.

Their bodies are denser than most humanoids' and as a result they were heavier than their appearance would tend to indicate.
