Talz

The Talz are a sapient race native to the ice planet of Alzoc III.

Biology
Talz are 2 to 2.5 meters tall humanoids whose body is covered in thick, white fur that provides insulation and camouflage in the frozen plains of their homeworld. They have sharp claws on their hands for defense. In spite of their large size and their claws, they are mostly gentle and good-hearted beings.

Their mouth is a short proboscis, perhaps indicating that Talz are liquivores. They have two pairs of eyes. The upper eyes are small and are mainly used during the day, when the icy ground reflects the sunlight and the planet is coveder in a stunning brightness. During the night, the lower set of eyes, which are much larger and are kept shut during the day, are used to see in darkness.

Society
Talz are strong and hardworking. They are a relatively primitive race and their technology is simple. Even though, some Talz can be found living on other planets, and they even have a colony on the distant world of Orto Plutonia. This might indicate that one or more Talz tribes have evolved into a spacefaring civilization at some point. It is more likely that these Talz have left their homeworld with the help of a more advanced alien race, though.

In their society they have no concept of ownership. This sometimes leads to other species accusing them of being thieves.

The Talz language, Talzzi, mainly consists of whirrs, buzzes and chirps. Due to their unusual mouth, most of them are unable to speak any other language.
