Creature:Varshoka

The Varshoka (Var-Shok-uh) are a race of avian humanoids of the planet Kavak (Kaa-vak). They are a proud, but relaxed species, taking time to appreciate the finer things in life. They speak in almost Old English, saying "Thou", "thee", and things of such nature. They also have impeccable manners.

Biology
They are warm blooded and, despite having a high-metabolism, live a relatively long life of up to 700 years. They aren't considered an adult until they reach 100. Their pupils are like a goat's pupils. They see color better than humans, also, they see details much better than humans, due to them living in the plains of Kavak. Their lungs have the air sacs of a traditional bird. Also, their reproductive system is much like that of Humans. They have two stomachs, one for storing food, the other for regular digestion. They also have very strong stomachs, able to eat just about anything, leading to give them the galactic name of "garbage bird". They have a hair-like substance covering their bodies. It is very soft and warm.

Culture
They are a very peaceful people, generally passive about most things. They are very polite and considerate, making a lot of patience for new species. They also enjoy learning new things, such as technologies, stories, histories, etc. They are very inquisitive and curious, wanting to know things new. Much to the dismay of other space-faring civilizations, they have a habit of uplifting tribes and other civilizations. Be it for better or worse, they do it anyway. When a culture they uplifted praises them as gods, however, they are greatly offended and clarify to that culture that they are not gods. They are, however, very tolerant of any religion or way of thinking.
