Creature:Kiaratha

The Kiaratha are a sociable race, which recently managed their start in spacefare. Their ability to even cheer up the grumpiest space inhabitant soon brought them a name as well known entertainers. Their biggest export consists of cultural goods, almost the only thing the Kiaratha are able to produce in large scales without major problems. The belief, that life itself is still the best thing to export already enriched various uncounted planets.

They are able to feed from both, meat and veggies, but due to their chosen role, they consume the first on a rather opportunistic base, they stopped preying on other animals eons ago. Their primary language is called 'Lor Ten', which had a complex evolution. The language itself consists of several hundred different sounds and rythms. At diplomatic contact, it's not necessary to learn their language, since they learn foreign languages at felt lightspeed.

Their secondary language "Ha'mick" was born from another favourite activity of the Ornithoids; dancing. It's mainly practised on celebrations, births and funerals alike. Ha'mick is according to Ankil the language of life. It's about expressing emotions. While the funeral dance appears slow, it's still appearing lightfeeted, while the cheering dance resembles more to a war dance of other known races. This happens because the brain of Kiaratha individuals reacts strongly to its own endorphines. A happy Kiaratha rushes through open doors with his hyperactivity.

Evolution: Evidently they were a model of success, due to their size, which alone scared most hunters off. A virtual reconstruction of the planet showed, that those omnivores preferred to socialise when meeting a new species, but they were also able to finish their possible hunters in no time if needed.

Society of the Kiaratha:

The society of the Kiaratha is one of the loosest organised in the known universe. They even like to adopt individuals of other species, independent from belief. In fact, social pressurisation does not exist. The government follows the wise chieftains, which achieved their role by reaching a higher age, or proving their wisdom. The Kiaratha are followers of shamanism, which explains their ties to the spiritual side of existance. Their ability to intense euphoria makes pretty much everything work.

Diplomacy:

Kiaratha follow a simply way of diplomacy: "HEY!!! That guy didn't shoot/repel/block us, he must be a friend!" Having those individuals as a friend pays; they help underdeveloped planets into space and they terraform every planet in reach. This of course, calls the Grox to plan. If the Ornithoids ever feel hate, then it must be for the Grox, the Anti-Life itself.

Known Ornithoids:

Boros - Boros is a younger pilot who was chosen to guide the flock to the stars. He really loves his job, since he often has the chance which isn't offered to many other individuals: First Contacts. He is usually so hyper, that he nearly caused a war with another race for greeting with "HEY, YOU! AWESOME TO MEET YOU!". Thankfully he forgot to push the right button. He is also one of the most devoted followers of Ankil's Book, which is a necessary writing to read if you're interested to learn more about this folk.

Chieftain Ankil - He announced the flight to the stars according to a vision. Worshipped as a prophet he finished the global war with a global conversion to spiritualism. He also wrote several books with different guides. Critical minds claimed that some books just repeated another book, or denied other rules. But still "Ankil's Book" is unarguably the book the Kiaratha base their culture upon.
