Untralan

The Untralans are a species of sentient, aquatic beings from the planet Untra. They are artistic and intelligent, as well as very kind.

History
Thousands of years ago, there were two species of sentient life on Untra: The Untralans and the Omvosi. However, the Omvosi disappeared for unknown reasons. The Untralans developed into a very advanced species, building many cities all across the planet. They toyed with the idea that their may be life outside of their world, but eventually concluded through several math equations that the probability of other life was much too low. That is why they were so surprised when off-world explorers made contact with them. The Untralans were very eager to meet and greet these other species, and they were very eager to explore the other planets in the Freyja system. They welcomed many visitors to their planet and Untra became a popular tourist destination.

Today, Untra is still a popular vacation spot, however the Untralans are beginning to change their general opinion on allowing so many immigrants to their world. The Untralans have also become renowned explorers, eager to find new things and to teach others about their own ways.

Physiology
Untralans evolved from Unis, small aquatic creatures on their planet. Their bodies and limbs are naturally very long and thin. Their fins have developed into full fledged legs and arms, with 6 long digits on each limb. Their digits have excellent friction against surfaces, akin to suction but not as strong. Their heads are pointed upwards, with no neck and a mouth near the bottom of the head. Their mouth has 2 rows of small, pointed teeth on the upper and lower jaws. Further up their heads they have two bulbous eyes, that can turn 180 degrees. Both of their eyes are independent, like a chameleon's. Untralans can breathe in or out of water.
