[hider=Driisu]

General Description: A species of mammals that vaguely resemble cobras, Driisu come from a fringe world in a quiet part of the galaxy known as the Feldora Region. They stand out among most crowds as a result of their small population and unusual physical characteristics. Driisu are typically identified instantly by the membranous hood that drops from their head to their neck. This hood grows wool-like hair to regulate heat depending on their environment; in warmer climates, it grows to be thicker, in colder places, it grows more in size. This hood also funnels sound to travel into their skulls similar to human ears. 

Notable Abilities: Driisu don’t have any kind of special things that put them at an advantage, but their skeletal system is sturdier than most, with bones protruding out of each other, rather than linking together. This, combined with their naturally highly toned bodies, means they can withstand considerable injury without severe consequences. Their wool acts like a cut resistant layer, contouring around blades when they come into contact with them, and rendering cuts useless. It doesn’t keep them safe from Stan wounds, however.

Language: Driddish- Notable characteristics of the language include the distinction between multi-letter sounds and singular ones. In the word “Driisu,” you may see two syllables, but in Driddish, the [i]dr[/i] and in “Driisu” and [i]sh[/i] in “Driddish” are said in individual letters. It is pronounced “D. Riisu.” Characters like this are written with a dash to show that they are connected or not. [i]d-r[/i] is pronounced as in “drag” while [i]dr[/i] is pronounced letter by letter. Letters that would be pronounced silently in English are verbally spoken in Driddish, but not written out. Additionally, the Driisu language does not have characters for “S” or “V”, so they are pronounced respectively as “Z” or “F”

Most of the galaxy doesn’t make this distinction though.

Home World: Drislinmorg. The name is a rough translation from the Driddish phrase “D-riz liin m-orog” meaning “Home of our People”.

Sapient, Sentient: Yes

Average Physicality: average height of 5”8 to 6”2. Average weight of 180lbs. Four fingers on each hand. Their jaws are lined with a singular tooth that wears around their mouths, similar to human teeth. Where a human has two rows of 10-20 teeth in each jaw, Driisu have two solid linings that act as theirs. If something breaks off, it simply repairs itself over time, while humans may lose teeth permanently. Oval-shaped eyes that can see well in low light conditions, more than human eyes.
