Diet
Herbivores, these creatures feed on the myriad species of plants and fungi found on their homeworld.

Sapience
Ophelians are sapient beings, having been uplifted by a technologically superior race millions of years ago. Ever since then, they have explored their planet and built magnificent civilizations.

Society and Culture
These creatures have a herd mentality; they abhore the very thought of being separated from their flock. Their entire culture revolves around acting as all others of their flock do. Each flock is ruled by a Warlord, whose only responsibility is to govern the flock during times of war. Wars are fought over land, resources, or power generally speaking.

History
The Ophelians were uplifted from a highly advanced race of aliens around two hundred years ago.
