Creature:Kippisian

The Kippisians are a race of barily sentient, small creatures found on many planets within the Drodo Empire. Although some groups of Kippisians have established tribes, most are still in the Creature Stage of development.

History
Not much is known about Kippisian history, seeing that a tribe has yet to invent recorded history, but there evolutionary history is a bit clearer.

The Kippisians originated on a planet called Kippes, in the Torarri system, they started out as algae-eating cells, before growing legs, and clambering onto land. Afterwards, they either befriended, ignored, or ran away from every other animal they came across. Eventually, one group of Kippisians developed tools, such as spears, gathering sticks, and musical horns. They used spears to defend themselves (although they weren't good at it) and to spear fish, gathering sticks to knock fruit off of trees, and musical horns to impress other creatures. Most Kippisians are still in the creature stage however, making them the perfect targets for profit...

After Kippes was colonised by the Drodo, agreements where set up with the Tribal Stage Kippisians for non-interferance. The Drodo Mafia, quickly hearing news of this new species, thought to make profit by enslaving the Kippisians. But quickly realised that breaking the treaty would do nothing but ruin business, by both breaking the treaty and breaking the slavery law (that's "no sapient being shall ever be subjected to slavery within this empire"). So, the mafia created a loophole, they attempted to capture the Creature Stage Kippisians instead. Some attempts where foiled, but enough attempts worked for it to be lucrative. These Kippisians where sold as pets, to the same line as the Syggars, across the Empire. The Kippisians soon spread across the empire. Whether they are in a wealthy landowner's home, stowing away on a spice freghter, or even being used by a corrupt corporation as cheap labour (these are generally cracked down upon quickly, few actually being a success), where their are Drodo, Kippisians aren't far behind.

Biology
Biologcally, Kippisians are average, they have one heart, two lungs, and a stomach. They have a mouth that has three large tenticle-like extensions, these are for protecting the mouth, and also for breaking up and manipulating the food, fulfilling the job of a Human's teeth and tongue. They're mouth generally makes a chirping sound. They have a pair of insect-like wings that they use to fly with (albeit, not very high) that flutter when exeited, and lay flat when scared. Kippisians breed like rabbits, they lay eggs that hatch after four months, and a female can lay up to five in one litter.
