Four arms instead of two, each arm had two opposed hands, and each hand had two thumbs, one situated about where a little finger would be expected. No eyes, not even vestigial ones. Two broad, flat noses and two toothful mouths; one of each in what would ordinarily be called the front of his round, shining, hairless head; the other in the back. Upon the sides of the head were large, volute, highly dirigible ears. And, like most races having the faculty of perception instead of that of sight, their heads are relatively immobile, their neck being short, massive, and tremendously strong. They can breath Tellurian atmosphere without problems, but not Radelix's.'' |
