Body
The Lequians have a humanoid body, with a round head. The head has two huge teeth, which are perfect for killing, although the victim has to be kept still by other Lequians first.

Lequians have five spikes (two on the head, three on the body). The spikes are primarily used for venting heat out of the body. During mating season, they can be used for display.

The skin of the Lequians is slightly tougher than the average reptile. Lequians prefer to keep it wet, although it's just to keep it comfortable.

Blood
Lequian blood contains hemerythrin, and so is pink when oxygenated, and clear when deoxygenated. It also contains a powerful toxin that was evolved to combat ancient enemies of the Lequians. These creatures happened to have similar genetic makeup to the Loron. When the flesh of a Lequian is consumed, the Loron will suffer a disease similar to the oogie plague, but more deadly. The disease has been named 'Loron's Regret'.

Blood Cells
