Creature:Aeoneonatrix

The Aeoneonatrix are a sentient species native to the Milky Way galaxy. They are notable for their extraordinarily altruistic and social behavior and being the founding race of The Aeoneonatrix Empire.

Origins
The Aeoneonatrix were raised to sapience by an entity called “the Cleanser.” Though most of their biology was unaltered, the Cleanser did, however, make significant alteration to their psyche, adding the Aeoneonatrix super-conscience to enhance their sociality and altruism.

Diet
The Aeoneonatrix are herbivores, but still have a diverse diet within those bounds. They are known to eat a large variety of leaves, grass, fruit, vegetables, and nuts. These nuts are the main source of protein in the Aeoneonatrix diet. Though they often do cook their food, they have remarkably low standards of preparation for their food. They have been known to eat grass right off of the ground, and leaves right off of trees without doing anything to wash or prepare them.

the Aeoneonatix Super-Conscience
Though it was long believed that the rigorous ethical behavior of the Aeoneonatrix could be attributed to culture, historical records and scientific testing has shown that this cannot be the complete explanation, but rather, that it adds on to another factor predisposing the Aeoneonatrix toward goodness. It is now believed by most psychologists that the Aeoneonatrix possess a natural moral instinct so strong that they almost never violate it, and when they do, the guilt that results is agonizing on a scale not seen in any other species. This moral instinct has been dubbed the Aeoneonatrix super-conscience. Violations of the Aeoneonatrix super-conscience do occur nonetheless, but it is almost impossible for an Aeoneonatrix to keep up a life-style they would deem immoral long-term. However, were it not for the cultural factors that currently exist, this behavior would still be weaker and would in no fashion be channeled into protecting smaller races.
