Creature:Qel

The Qel are a space-faring species originating from the planet Kallos. They are a young race, united under the Kallian Domain.

Qels are a genetically diverse species, highly adaptable to different environments and situations. Though individuals can vary greatly, qel usually show an inherent, unquestioned loyalty to established in-groups.

Anatomy and Physiology
Initially evolving in arboreal environments, the hands and feet of qel have the ability to grab, hold, and squeeze. The colder environments they began in have equipped the qel with fur, whose colors and camouflage generally vary anywhere from a light green to a dark purple. Thicker hair also grows around qel's craniums to further insulate their brains; this hair is considered a secondary sexual characteristic, potentially attracting mates.

The spines of qels are protected from physical trauma by a thick chitinous material which protrudes from the back of their torso.

The diet of qels is made up almost entirely of meat, which they bite with using their sharp incisors, and chew with their molars.
