Creature:Aquarian Beekman

Anatomy
All of the Beekmen species have a single, very high resolution, motionbased, eye. Usually of a green pigment due to the chlorophyll-like fluid that nourishes the eye. Making the Beekmen at least partially a photoautotroph, able to feed itself on its own through sunlight.

The Beekman all are partially amphibious, and have a semi-permeable outer skin that allows water molecules in, but not other larger molecules and particles. However once the water passes through a second subcutaneous layer, it is trapped inside. Because of this Beekman were able to migrate across vast distances and even across deserts where there was little water.

The Beekmen also have dexterous fingers for manipulation of complicated objects, and as such the Beekmen are extremely skills engineers and craftsmen. However the more primitive brains of the Bee'ekmen mean they cannot fully utilize them.

Beekmen are also capable of Asexual and Sexual, their reproductive organs are located on their tail and groin. Beekmen use self-determination to choose which gender-personality they are, although there have also been instances of temperature determining the gender of the offspring. In times of extreme desperation, Parthenogenesis can be employed to self-fertilize and create offspring of the opposite gender. Because of this, the Beekmen are extremely adaptable to a wide range of environmental situations and pressures that would drive other species to extinction.

Homeworld
The original Beekman homeworld is shrouded in mystery and false-leads. However recent studies have pointed towards the Kowak System, as it has the greatest diversity of Beekmen. including the Aquarian, and Apex varieties.

However, it seems that in their past they have been transplanted onto other worlds, where they thrived, such as Kuakii, Vee'k, Antaris III, Hypernia, and Avalon. Some conspiracy theorists contend that it was the work of the Ursa Minorites, but given their desire not to speak on the subject, the truth may never be fully understood.

The Kowakian Beekmen are from the lush green world of Kowak, often called the 'cradle of life', as it has the greatest diversity of sentient life in the known galaxy, containing the Werdo, Bee'ekmen, Apex Beekmen, Yaddley, Kowakian Raven, and Kowak Scholar.

Temperament
The Kowakian Beekman are very docile, due to their (compared to the other Beekmen) low intellegience, but also capable of altruism and compassion, even helping species in trouble other than their own, much like Dolphins of Sol-III (earth) do. However the Kowakian Apex Beekmen are the exception. They are cruel, unfeeling, and utterly devoted to consuming as much prey as they can, without regard to their own safety. they are the piranhas of the land and attack with no prejudices.
