Legend

a race of slug-like centaurians, the Berrites have a short stature and sluggish appearance. Their thick bodies are covered in heavy wrinkles of skin, and are supported by four stout legs and wide, three-clawed feet. Their upper torsos are humanoid, with two arms that end in spade-like hands. They have small, deep-set eyes and an open mouth, with five breather tubes along each side of their faces. They have developed geothermal energy sources, and have developed huge factories around this readily available power source. They have learned to cultivate their aspect of dullness when engaged with other races, for it allows them to scan their immediate surroundings with ultrasonic waves. This causes unknowing adversaries to understimate the Berrite abilities while allowing the Berrite to gain a measure of defense. Berrites are hermaphroditic, and have problems understanding the male/female differences.
