Creature:Ektaknit

The Evolution of the species
The species of Ektaknit evolved from small cells, mainly playing the defence role, but with enough force to remain in the omnivorous position. After developing legs instantly, the species climbed onto the land, making a mixture of friends and enemies. Although the creature looked faintly bird-like, what with it's beak and bipodial movement, it is actually a member of the Reptile class. Its tough skin developed four hard, but relatively simple offensive spikes, and a charming flower-shaped bud on its back. Its legs, however, developed from tentacles, with stubby ends being replaced by suctopods, providing good speed and agility on land. After an adaptable creature stage, the species took a radical turn in thinking after entering the sapient phase, and allowed other creatures to evolve, providing that they agreed to their beliefs. After converting and allying with all tribes, even those with a natural agression, they dominated into civilisation stage with religion on their minds. No matter how opposing their enemies were, they allways managed to use dominant air power to convert non-believers. By the end of the stage, the species grouped together the three main empires, and entered the space stage with one quest: Galactic peace. They were diplomats.
