Eh'ern

Eh'ern are a sapient space-faring extraterrestrial species from the Triangulum galaxy. They form part of a galactic community ruled by a single postsapient artificial intelligence, the Source.

Biology
An Eh’ern has an egg-shaped, bilaterally-symmetrical body with four muscular tentacles. An adult individual is usually 2 meters long.

The fact that the limbs are boneless and the body is bloated might indicate that the Eh’ern lack an endoskeleton, thus being invertebrates. Yet unlike Earth creatures, the skin is covered with mammalian fur, usually brown and white in colour. The mouth consists of an avian beak, surrounded by four manipulator appendages and three eyes.

Considering their overall morphology, along with the fact that they are arboreal creatures, it is unlikely that the Eh’ern are able to walk, even in a quadrupedal fashion. They most likely creep on the ground when they are not climbing trees.
