Cooper's Species

This unnamed extraterrestrial species is a race of insectoid-like humanoid creatures. While little is known about them or their home planet, they are said to be subterranean.

Biology
Cooper's species stood at a height of about 12 feet, had six limbs (two hind legs and detachable sets of four arms) which used to be climb, and had skin that was gray with white stripes. Their long-jointed arms are capable of grabbing and picking up some objects and throwing them long distances. Additionally, they have second eyelids that resemble membranes and protect their original eyes. The secondary eyelid, in addition to shielding their eyes from damage, can be utilized to convey resentment or fury. Their mouths can open into three lower jaws and two upper mandibles with sharp teeth by unfolding.

These creatures are also known to be more intelligent than humanity and use the Argus Cubes (which are assembled or disassembled via electromagnetism, which the species of Cooper can control) to build their starships telepathically with their minds.

They may even be nocturnal since Cooper, who is a member of this species, was never seen during the daytime and was only around at night.

Culture and society
This species has neutral behaviors, which are either hostile or not. These creatures appear to be stronger and more capable than the average human. Their advanced civilizations are used to being underground or on the surface of their homeworld, but most of them also do not live on the surface of the planet until they venture out in the evening light. While Cooper is known to be a male, any differences between females of this entire species are unknown.

Technology
These species used some advanced technology, including their starships, which can be piloted by one crew, while the interior and other types of the starships are still unknown. The Argus Cubes are also used to attract and reconstitute any starship.
