Falleen

Biology and Appearance
The Falleen are an exotic, cold-blooded reptilian species known to be as long lived as Hutts, with life spans averaging 250 years.

The sleek symmetry of their features, calculating and cold demeanor, their exotic looks, and their ability to alter their skin means that the Falleen are often considered to be among the most aesthetically pleasing beings in the galaxy. In addition to their strikingly beautiful appearance, the Falleen naturally exude pheromones which makes them all but irresistible to the opposite sex. They have small scales all over their bodies, as well as slightly clawed fingers and toes. In addition, the Falleen display prominent facial and spinal ridges, though females tend to have slighter, more subtle growths.

The Falleen are semi-aquatic, and are able to hold their breath underwater for a long period of time, leading exobiologists to believe that the Falleen's ancestors were completely aquatic. The appearance of breasts and other mammalian characteristics in Falleen females and males have also led exobioligists to believe that Falleens share a mammal ancestor with Humans. They were one of the few species resistant to mind tricks, and had green blood.

Culture
Falleen society is of a feudal nature, with noble houses ruling over the lower classes. The upper echelons of Falleen monarchies are rife with politics and intrigue, but they rarely spill over into blatant disputes or open warfare. The skin pigmentation of the Falleen changes naturally to reflect the mood of the individual, however, the Falleen long ago mastered the ability to change their skin tone at will and have used this as something of a covert weapon in their politics, fostering an appearance of calm, for example, when they are really panicking.

As a cold-blooded species, the Falleen respect discipline and control, particularly self-control. They tend to shun public displays of emotion, and are very patient. As a result of this attitude, they have tended to look down on the more openly passionate, whom they saw as lacking self-control. Indeed, the Falleen as a species have a towering sense of superiority which they felt was only right and proper due to their discipline and rigid self-control. They also tend to view their homeworld, and not Coruscant as the civilized and cultural capital of the galaxy. This arrogance has made the Falleen something of an isolationist species, and though they are not a rare species, it is rare to find them away from their homeworld.
