It's not finished, but..I dont know *shy* wanted to share some of the infos on one of my aliens(can see their picture posted in my gallery), and show proof how very nerdy I am ;--;


Heket’ari
Name translation: The God Born
Description:
Heket’ari range on average from 8 feet tall onward, with the largest known Heket’ari standing at 12 feet.
While their legs are more symmetrical, their spine and hip structure allows for two legged to four legged locomotion, though they prefer four since the muscle mass on their upper body makes it extremely hard and uncomfortable to walk upright. The slimmer Heket’aris are more comfortable with the transition of four to two legged locomotion, and are usually seen in the jobs of ambassadors, since most species prefer the ‘norm’ which is to say another creature that acts like itself. They have numerous extra thoracic and lumbar vertebrae, which account for their spinal and leg mobility.
The jaw structure allows for the mouth to open up to 85 degrees, with double muscles along the jaw and head, allowing the Heket’ari to powerfully crush bones and even some metals. Their unusually large skull accounts for some of this power.

Female and male both have a pronounced skull ridge ‘hood’ that can grow quite long as the creature ages, though with age the bone does grow fragile. The frill hood is more pronounced in females, and usually covered in scarification tattoos of honor and kills.
While they do have two sets of eyes, their vision is not their primary sense. They can see particularly well, in dark or light, but it’s their senses of smells, and the deep set pits just below their nostrils that allow them to be keen hunters and assassins. They can see heat given off by their prey, and also use their dual senses of smell to both taste and sense the area.
Heket’ari have adapted to the hot climates of their homeland. Due to this their thick hide, which isn’t scaled at all(though they do have some raised markings similar to crocodiles) is able to withstand some weapons and blades. Although the slightest change of temperature can cause great distress and problems for them. Their skin becomes rigid and tough due to the layers freezing to each other, which can make movement painful, and in cold enough temperatures, can even rupture and cause lacerations that will not heal until they are warmed. If prolonged exposure to cold, their hearts will slow down and in effect, they hibernate. Their body will shut down, their brain will only function on the smallest of levels and they are very easy to kill at this stage.
