Legend

native to the planet Makem Te, this pasty-skinned alien race was distinguished by its portly body and loose, pallid skin. The head of a Swokes Swokes was conical in shape, with a crown of horns on the brow and another set of horns at the point. The wide mouth of the Swokes Swokes was dominated by large, fang-like upper teeth, and sat below a small nose and two bulbous eyes. The nervous system of an individual Swokes Swokes was more similar to that of a flatworm than to most other humanoid races, and they had the ability to regenerate lost limbs if necessary. This gave them a certain bravado on the battlefield, where Swokes Swokes were known to be fanatical in their attacks. The Swokes Swokes were remarkable in their adaptations to their homeworld, although they were not technologically advanced. Their cities were delicate structures built from cast iron, giving them an underlying strength despite their appearance. Most Swokes Swokes transportation was in the form of domesticated schingas. One interesting aspect of the Swokes Swokes civilization was their use of gemstones to indicate power. Rather than displaying them on pieces of jewelry, most Swokes Swokes had gemstones implanted in their bodies near vital organs as a form of status symbol.
