Description
The zarpharian or simply "Zarpha" (plural, Zarphans) are a species of the equatorial planet Zaria. they are analogous with earthly species such as the cephalopod, with characteristics of reptiles. Having changeable skin pigments in a strikingly similar way, alongside similar blood color, pupils and having a endoskeleton made of chitin, reinforced with cross-linked proteins.
They are of strength and size greater than mankind, eight feet tall and capable of ripping apart metal, alongside denting reinforced composites. Their limbs resemble vertebrae, perhaps a equivalent to tentacles. but given extra durability by the chitin equivalent of bone guiding the muscle.
Like the aforementioned reptiles, the Zarphans smell mainly by tasting air particles with their forked tongues, in a likewise disturbingly identical way to Earth's serpents. Their noses are weak compared to the tongue, being of similar olfactory capabilities of that of a human, if not slightly inferior. They also posses "ears" of similar fashion, simple holes connecting to the skull. The beasts in the past were, like mankind, tree climbers. Their durable skull, perhaps a evolution to survive lethal falls (alongside using it as a natural weapon alongside the claws and teeth). The zig-zag lips reveal teeth that resemble that of the dunkleosteus, created mainly for self-sharpening daggers. these crushing jaws are superior to the maw of a great white shark, capable of ripping apart iron as if it was made of cardboard.
