Cinrusskins (physiological classification: GLNO), or Cinruss, are a sapient, spacefaring insectoid species from the light-gravity planet Cinruss.
Biology[]
Cinrusskins are spindly insectoids with six legs, sucker-tipped feet, four manipulatory appendages, iridescent wings and a beaked mouth.
Hailing from a planet with less than one eighth Earth's gravitational pull, Cinrusskins are very frail physically, but are able to compensate this with fast reflexes. Thanks to their small weight and the suckers at the tips of their legs, they can cling to walls and ceilings easily. They enjoy eating cooked spaghetti and raw carrots.
Cinrusskins have strong empathic abilities that allow them to feel the emotions of those around them.
Chlorine is lethal to them.
