Creature:Nakeimato

The Nakeimato are a curious empire, since thier discovery of genetics they have experimented with more lifeforms than they can count. They are tier 5, so are currently very small and still trying to expand. Nakeimato are not warlike and try not to get involved, however they will do anything for the sake of thier studies and will actually invade empires and war just to come up with suitible test subjects for their prodding tongs and needles. They live in the Milky Way Galaxy.

The Nakemato Circle

Biology

 * They are small creatures with two sets of legs and one set of hands. Their skin is often considered dirty because of the brown hues in it but the blue and browns are considered very attractive amonst themselves.
 * They are quite intelligent and curious about life and it's many creations, however this leads them to attempt to create their own lifeforms. They are quite shy around the other races and empires and thus hide their faces and expressions behind a large Tiki-like mask that hides their entire faces.
 * They have sharp spikes on their tails that can be shot out like a porqupine, this is used as a rear defense since their backs are more easily exposed then would be liked. A large horn protrudes out of their foreheads used for instant defense should the need be dire, though its barely visible behind the mask. Sharp claws give them an advantage from the front but other than that they rely on other their clean weapons.
 * Their faces, which are hidden behind their large tiki-like masks contain piercing predatory yellow/orange eyes with narrow black slits as pupils. They have cat-like ears which flatten against their heads when sad or angry. A large horn is on their forehead above their eyes and between the ears to ram into their foes. Their mouths are like a warthogs but alot smaller. They are herbivores and consume a moderate amount of food daily.
 * Due to their exposed backs they wear hard metal plates around their backs and sides that are made out of a impenetrably strong natural metal found on their home planet.
 * They do not have very good regenerative powers, however they can mutate themselves to regrow a limb or can actual sew the parts of other aliens onto themselves, a creepy practice that can scare some.

Society and Beliefs

 * The Nakeimato empire is ruled by a stange monarchy. Their leader is a Scientist (Called a High Druid) that controls everything that happens, from warfare, to science to colonization and politics. When a High Druid dies then the kin of the High Druid takes the position of High Druid. When their is no clear heir than the best scientist is elected the new High Druid.
 * Though they don't believe in an actual god, that does'nt mean that they have no beliefs. The Nakeimato believe in nature, they believe that each star is a power in it's own right to be protected, and each planet is the offspring of the star. This has led them to use clean power sources that do not harm the environment itself apon usage. They pride themselves of their "green" power sources and technology. They are currently researching (quite successfully) how to dispose of nuclear radiation and heal a planet back to full health from radiated and dead conditions.
 * The Nakeimato are fiercely protective of primal species and planets, They hate destruction of any stars or planets and never use planet busters or anti-matter missils. They also have some planets that are not colonized and are used as wildlife sanctuarys (called Sanctums), that are even more defended than their colonies!
 * Those sanctums hold all sorts of creatures that have been taken from other planets ecosystems (even other aliens planets) Where they are carefully studied and researched by dedicated scientists. Other sanctums have creatures who were genetically mutated or genetically engineered lifeforms created by the Nakeimato themselves.
 * They can be known for their treatment of criminals and prisoners. They use their prisoners as test subjests and conduct many genetic experiments on them. Most who enter their prisons...Don't come out the same...

Technology

 * Their common weapondry are Stun Laser Pistols used for capture of criminals and in some rarer cases, on the battlefield. The Nakeimato take the victims of the pistols and conduct experiments on them.
 * When at war, soldiers will use a deadlier version of their laser guns. These guns have the potency to kill and are made for use on battlefields.
 * On prisoners of war they use all sorts of needles, tongs, surgery sciccors and other surgical tools to experiment on them.
 * If the grox were to be shown perhaps the Nakeimato would be the best weapon against them with the ability to revive life where almost none exisisted.
