===Body Chemistry===
The Khyrolii are a carbon-based species with a bone structure that is primarily based on calcium, but also contains trace amounts of silicates for increased rigidity.  Their blood is based upon iron as a carrier for hemoglobin.  As such, the Khyrolii and are subject to most illnesses and ailments which are common to most other carbon-based species.  The only other interesting note in body chemistry is a near-perfect tolerance to alcohol.  However, an intoxicating effect occurs from ingesting a liquid called Sho’Khlar, the chemical composition of which seems to be a closely guarded secret. The only rumor discovered by 'outsiders' about Sho'Khlar is that it is somehow used both in Khyrolii religion and in their reproduction.

Aside from their senses of smell and hearing, a Khyrolii’s senses fall within “universal” standards. A Khyrolii’s sense of smell is quite highly developed and allows them to not only recognize individual scents, but also to track them at great distances. Hearing in a Khyrolii is as equally developed as their sense of smell, and while the low end does not go very far into the subsonic range, the high end extends well into the ultrasonic range. Sight in a Khyrolii is something of an oddity, as the retina possesses a high concentration of cells which are both light-sensitive as well as color sensitive. This gives the Khyrolii excellent night vision as well as a good grasp of colors in both day and night situations.
