Drimax
They are very smart in most topics that are highly specific, such as maths. If it is not a specific goal, such as comedy, they are likely to be terrible at it. Due to this they make for very valuable scientists and engineers.
However, Drimax are nocturnal. They can see light, even at night, but do not rely on it for their primary sensory method. They use primarily echolocation to a very accurate degree, being able to identify different materials by listening to the returning sound waves.
Basic Information
Anatomy
Drimax are a roughly humanoid species. However, they have 6 fingers. This allows them slightly more freedom with manipulation, and their hands are larger to accommodate the 6th finger. Their feet are also attached to a socket that allows more freedom in rotation, so they can take up some positions that would break a human leg. They can rotate their foot in any direction within a 180 degree semisphere. They are also carbon based lifeforms.
Genetics and Reproduction
Although drimax reproduce asexually, they rely on laying eggs. The body can decide to build an egg whenever it wants, which will grow to usable size in about 2 months. After laying, it takes about 4 months for the child to develop and be born when they crack their egg. It then takes about 20 years for a newborn drimax to grow to full size and gain the ability to lay their own eggs.
Ecology and Habitats
A drimax prefers warmer, drier environments than humans. This is because they evolved on a world with a comparatively drier atmosphere , and slightly closer to the star. To help them inhabit HF worlds more comfortably, they are often treated with cybernetics which often perform various chemical reactions within the body for them that they normally couldnt achieve themselves in such conditions..
Additional Information
Perception and Sensory Capabilities
They normally cannot communicate with most other sentient species who rely on sound for communication. Universal translators must be used to come across this gap. Normally, drimax communicate to each other using antennae, and firing various frequencies of electromagnetic radiation at each other. Universal translators are built to both send and receive these signals and allow them to communicate with other species.
