The Shellious (Plural: Shellious, Possessive: Shellian, Selii: Senlius ) are a race of reptiles from the planet Shellis. They are the ruling species of the Shellious Imperium and are known to be the only non-mecholife Wentals in the entire First Gigaquadrant. The Shellious are known to be expert starship builders and astronomers due to their increased intelligence.
The Shellious are carbon-based reptiles that normally stand around 2 meters tall weighing around 100 kilograms. There is no difference in height or weight between genders and they have very few secondary sexual characteristics. Their genetic code consists of 66 chromosomes. There are no sex chromosomes, and their sex is determined by the temperature around the eggs. Temperatures lower than 28 Celsius result in males, while females are born in warmer environments. Multi-gender clutches of eggs are uncommon.
The Shellious have two large lungs and may hold their breaths for about 2 hours before needing to breathe oxygen. They can absorb oxygen through their skin if wet allowing them to survive underwater longer.
Subraces[]
The Thamono (Lacusophos Viridis) are the most common of the shellious races. They are easily spotted by their green color. The Thamono make up the majority of the imperium population, as many other subraces were nearly extinct during the War of Arbitration.
The Bruni (Lacusophos Fulvus) are a small subrace of shellious. They are a relatively uncommon sight within the imperium and never leave the imperium space due to their importance in shellian genetic research. They are usually employed as biotechnology researchers and make up for their weak bodies in high intelligence.
The Chelu (Lacusophos Livens) are a subrace of shellious that have grown to a larger population after the 2 million years of evolution after space. The Chelu have adapted to water much more and have a dorsal fin that acts as navigation and movement as well as outer protection for the gill and weak neck area. This subrace also has a larger palate and can consume more meat than the first evolution. They are often placed in military jobs for their strengths. They are known to be more aggressive than the other races. (Original concept by Dyga19)
The Shito (Lacusophos Russus) are a less well known subrace; easily spotted by their red skin and facial frills appearing earlier than other subraces. They are often born into royal families due Empress Sharren of the first kingdom being one of the last shito left during their near extinction.
