Khyrolii
Physiology
Appearance
Despite certain rumors, the two beings claimed to be Khyrolii are indeed both one and the same. Thanks to some genetic engineering prompted by interaction with an alien race, there are two styles of Khyrolii in existance. The original Khyrolii, are quadruped canines standing 1 meter tall and measuring 1.5 meters long from head to hind end. Khyrolii sport tails which measure out the same length as their main body, which resembles the shape of a fox, but with the build of a cheetah, and the fur always appearing in metallic shades of various colors. The more recently engineered Khyrolii are in fact bipedal counterparts, standing digitigrade at 2 meters, with likewise lengthy tails. This unique race is in fact a psionic one, with abilities that originally developed because of the lack of manipulative limbs and disinterest in tools (at the time), not to mention poorly developed vocal chords. The bipedal Khyrolii tend to be slightly heavier, but everyone shares in the metallic colors of brown, tan, silver, white, black, and on the rare occassion, red. Regardless of which generation one is viewing, they both share fully prehensile tails, with very smooth fur running along them. Their tails are literally as long as the owner, growing with them. No known Khyrolii has ever had a tail that did not measure to his size (assuming no wounds or the like). 'First' Khyrolii generally weigh between 63 and 80 kgs. 'Second' Khyrolii generally weigh between 75 and 95 kgs.
Locomotion & Manipulation
A majority of the members of the Khyrolii race are still in fact quadrupeds, and therefore they have paws like many non anthro creatures. To make up for this, all Khyrolii possess the psionic ability to manipulate objects through telekinesis and communicate via telepathy. Bipedal Khyrolii still have these abilities because the gene-engineers decided to leave them in the genetic code. Whether First or Second-gen Khyrolii, the average subject's muscle tone gives them excellent agility and flexibility. Nearly all Khryolii devices or implements are designed to work with this telekinesis or telepathy.
Communcation & Interaction
Khyrolii typically communicate amongst themselves through telepathy. However, ever since being contacted by another sentient species, the Khyrolii have not only had to re-engineer a portion of their population, but they also had to develop a completely new language for themselves. This new language was developed so that they could better communicate with non-psionic species. It was designed to be as easy to learn as the Khyrolii scientists could manage. Primarily this new Khyrolii language consists of guttural sounds as well as a combination of growls; in addition, there are also a variety of hand and body gestures which can be substituted for the more complex vocalizations.
