[Species] Spathi

[Shaon]

Type: Alien

Place of Origin: Epsilon Gruis I, "Spathiwa"

Biologically granted Abilities: Unknown

Diseases Genetically Prone to: Unknown

Technological Status: At least hyperspace technology

Unique Invention: The Spathi Eluder

Description: The spathi are mollusks. They possess a single eye, a colorful exoskeleton, and jointed claws for grasping; they claim that they "have the best qualities of the crab and the dravats." They are renkowned all over for their cowardliness.

Culture: Not known

Religion: The Spathi have a traditional daily prayer which reflects their general attitude towards life: "..Oh God... please don't let me die today! Tomorrow would be so much better!"
The Spathi also have a pre-death ceremony, the ritual of Wezzy-Wezzah. The completion of this short ritual ensures a place in their secure afterlife. A noted attribute of the Spathi's afterworld is the absence of immortal, devouring monsters. However, the ritual of Wezzy-Wezzah is invalid unless performed on the moon of Spathiwa.
The Spathi also are in constant fear of a phantomlike entity known as 'the Ultimate Evil'; they have never detected this entity, and attribute this to its pure evilness.

((Yes, this is THE Spathi. I swear, Cirrial made me do it.))
