Random Turian facts you guys all already knew but it’s fun remembering them because I’m waiting for my mac to update and can’t do anything else rn.
Turian blood is cobalt/Royal blue.
Turians can’t swim as their bodies are too dense because of their plates.
Due to their dextro-amino biology Turians cannot eat the same things as other alien species (except for Quarians) but unlike Quarians, Turians eat mainly, almost entirely meat, making them very reliant on similarly dextro-amino livestock and fisheries.
The carapace plates on Turians are reflective as they are metallic in their biological makeup, an evolutionary defense against their homeworld’s sun as their planet has a weak magnetic field. (this means more radiation gets through). however it doesn’t make them significantly durable. (although Grunt does comment at one time that Turians are a little harder to rip apart than humans or asari or salarians)
This probably (almost definitely) means Shepard couldn’t retire on Palaven. I’m not sure how long she could even visit it. :(
Turians are warm-blooded, being more avian than reptile, but they are not very tolerant of cold temperatures.
Despite their avian/reptile biology, they give birth to live young.
Turian lifespan is comparable to human life span and roughly doesn’t appear to have much that differs it in length.
The facepaint turians wear are clan specific. A tradition from their colonial past that never really died out despite the planet’s unification. The markings are based on design, not colour. There is a saying in turian culture where someone could be described as ‘bare-faced’, referring to a turian who doesn’t wear any clan markings. It translates to being untrustworthy or a ‘smooth talker’. It also also a slang word for politicians.
Male and females are viewed equally in turian society, both for better and worse.
C-Puff spends way too much time reading the in-game codex and my ADD makes me remember useless game trivia with stupid accuracy but I still can’t memorise middle-school level math.
