Pillupa

Pillupas are a species of humanoid reptiles native to the planet Nyx'ia.

Anatomy
Pillupas' tall, lizard-like bodies have various adaptations for dealing with the environment on their home planet. Their large eyebrows are used to keep dirt and sand out of their eyes, and the hair-like growths on their heads are used to swat insects.

The frills on their necks are used to shield them from the heat of Nyx'ia's two suns, and can also be extended to ward off predators. These frills are highly sensitive to touch.

Powers and Abilities
Pillupas' tails are presensile, acting as a third arm when nessecary.

Pillupas possess remarkable strength, being able to lift up to five times their body weight.

Culture and Society
Nyx'ia's environment makes it ideal for agriculture. For this reason, Pillupas are responsible for growing organic produce for the rest of the galaxy. The few who leave Nyx'ia are typically traveling fruit merchants.

Pillupas place a high value on family bonds. These families are often rather large, with four children being considered normal.

Pillupas are considered mature in their early teens, perhaps even earlier.

The galaxy's religion has a major role in the ancient history of Nyx'ia, and Pillupas are on average more religious than most other species.
