[edit] Quyth Physiology

All Quyth have two sets of limbs, an upper and a lower, ending in three-clawed appendages. They have a set of antennae on top of their heads, as well as a single eye over a vertical mouth-slit. The eye, (usually blue tinted & clear) consists of hundreds of disks in a tight geometrical pattern. Set on either side of the mouth are two pedipalps.

The Quyth are the only species in the known galaxy to possess a complete immunity to radiation. It is this immunity that have allowed the Quyth to achieve prominence: The Quyth are able to inhabit worlds with levels of radiation that would destroy many other species.

The Quyth are also unique amongst the other races of The Rookie Universe in that they have been been divided into three subspecies: Leader, Warrior and Worker. These subspecies, though they share much basic physiology, each have characteristics that differentiate them.

[edit] Leaders

A Quyth leader (or "Shamakath") stands roughly 3 feet (1 meter) high, and is covered and sleek fur. He has three sets of antennae which can move reflexively, or autonomically. He stands on its rearmost pair of legs (no leader would ever lower himself to walk on all fours, though they are physically capable of doing so). The pedipalps are slender and approximately 2 feet long, and quite dexterous - they are used in much the same way that humans use arms and hands. His eye is grapefruit-sized (approx 5-6 inches in diameter), and changes color to reflect his emotional state, though leaders can control this to varying degrees.

[edit] Warriors

Rather than the fur of a leader, a Quyth warrior's body is covered in a hard carapace. This carapace is mostly red, with varying patterns in different shades. These markings are used to identify warrior groups, and are rarely covered by clothing (warriors tend to wear gray, unadorned trousers). they have a single, retractable set of antennae. Their pedipalps are roughly 3 feet long, much more heavily muscled than a leader's, and are also covered in an armored carapace. Their eyes are baseball-sized (approx 3-4 inches in diameter). The eye is hooded with a leathery, protective eyelid.
