Legend

this unusual alien species of gastropods was native to the planet Pria, and resembled a long, flat fish. The average Priapulin had five notochords along his length, making them seem wormlike when fully straightened. However, they preferred to form themselves into S-shaped curves, a position which allowed them to use their flat tails to brace themselves upright. They had three pairs of eyes which studded the front end of their bodies, and their underbellies were covered with thick bristles. These bristles would be used like hundreds of legs, moving the Priapulin about with a broom-like hissing sound. Other bristles could be used like hands or fingers. They were the top being in an incredible symbiotic relationship which involved food-kin and other creatures who served the Priapulin and, in turn, were served by the Priapulin. As a race, the Priapulins were dedicated to peace, and worked whenever possible to avoid conflicts. They were also known for their incredible sense of humor and deep sense of loyalty.
