Creature:Kowak Bee'ekman

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. With the exception of the C'ss'k Raptors, and Draconian Foxes, their trade and shipbuilding conglomerate is the most successful in the galaxy, the three main companies being Beekman Spaceworks, Spart'ii Spaceworks, and Kuak'ii Drive Yards.

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.

The Spart'ii also have large antlers that they use to secrete musk and pheromones to mark their territory and convey emotions to those around them.

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.

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.
