Moep

The Moeps are a sapient, non-spacefaring species hailing from a small oceanic world. They are one of the two sapient species on their homeworld, the other being the Aemts.

Biology
Moeps are tall, graceful creatures whose movements have been compared to those of a cat. They are covered in short blue-black glossy fur and have two muscular legs and four proportionally short arms. Their eyes are large and bright. The mouth is lipless. A pair of curved antennae protrude from their heads, which serve as hearing organs as well as telepathic receivers, as the Moeps can communicate by sound or telepathy. They breathe through porous membranes at the base of their antennae.

Culture and society
Moeps inhabit the mountains of their homeworld, a dense world smaller than Luna and covered almost entirely in water. They are enslaved by the Aemts.
