Krall

The krall are a species of humanoid anthropods native to the world Virinis IV, an enormous moon covered in thick foliage, expansive bodies of water, and an extensive biosphere. The krall were once a thriving species but wide-spread sterility led to their decline.

Making first contact with the only in 2187, the krall still have difficulties understanding the cultural and social norms of the other Citadel races, and vice versa. it is these differences that have led many to consider them disgusting while other see them as fascinating.

Biology
Krall typically stand well over six feet tall and have robust builds. They have segmented bodies which are supported by hardened chitinous exoskeletons, compacted cartilege, and dense muscular structures. Because their exoskeletons are so thick, the krall feel their surroundings using long anntenae on their heads and hairs covering their bodies. They have very large eyes with great vision and complex mouthparts which is their most distinct characteristic.

The krall possess a very complex system of internal organs. They have adapted both lungs and gills to suit both their habitats on their homeworlds and redundant systems which include but don't limit: four hearts, three livers, four kidneys, and two stomachs. The krall also have a number of bladders in their bodies, all used for a different purpose such as collecting waste or producing foul odors. The krall are known for their ability to eat almost anything, from garbage to wood, and use glands in their mouths to produce acid that makes it easier to soften and ingest their food.
