that’s fine!! I love talking abt my ocs/monsters and not feeling like I’m boring ppl lmao

deepbreathers didn’t have kissing probably until 50 years after they met a race that did. for most of their evolutionary lives, their mouths were like, eating and breathing, if they went on land. they do really enjoy it though, since they tend to have sensitive mouths to make sure they don’t eat anything spiney.

they had something similar, kind of, though. in their society it was generally a romantic gesture to loop your arm around their waist; like, only long-time partners do that bc their torsos are extremely sensitive and delicate.

their venom feels like, a bee sting but less, and then a spreading coldness that isn’t uncomfortable. like if you’ve ever held some very very solid ice, but skipping the pricking painful part of your nerves telling you to drop it. just a soothing, cool numbness that fades after a few hours.

whats theyre like…shape. ik it varies but like, do they have things on their head? how many eyes/limbs?

oh, thanks! and sure.

they come from an ocean planet with only a few minor land masses and sand bars, but the tides are controlled by a few different moons, and they’re an advanced species, so they can both breathe on land and had space travel very early, insofar as their evolution. they had space ships when half the population had no lungs, honestly.

their main diet is small fish, and luminescent sea fungus. they tend to be colored completely in one color of different shades, like all green but different shades of green, and are some of the larger species, being p wide and heavy, with all those extra limbs.

they’re a very. very violence-averse race, and most even in any kind of galactic federation don’t know how to use weapons at all. I’ve mentioned their breeding, so there’s that, but they’re actually considered very “virile”. they have a 45-70% chance of having viable young with every humanoid race as-yet discovered, and interspecies relationships (as well as polyamourous, as that’s their base profile for relationships) are very common.
