Balkusians are a sapient humanoid species from the planet Balkus 9. They are an all female species, which reproduce by touching other individuals and transferring their consciousness into a mass of proteins, which will grow into a newborn body.
Biology[]
Balkusians are blue-colored humanoids with completely hairless skin. When near death, they're able to transfer their consciousness into the body of a surrogate host via dermal contact. This induces the host's body to produce a mass of proteins that grows almost instantly into an infant clone of the Balkusian, which the host will give birth to almost instantly. The host can be of any gender or species.
