Given that venlil are a highly social herd species, the fact that Slanek never talks about his family has always been a bit of a hint for Marcel. It only followed that the morose tone of this conversation would provoke him to give Slanek with a way out~
They're just grunts, after all. Entirely on brand for them to mess with each other like children
PS: the original idea by Josak in the NoP Discord server
"In 2136, the first Human expedition to the stars leaves Earth and reaches Gliese 832. When they reach it, they find out that it is inhabited by the Venlil Republic, a member of the Federation, a coalition of numerous species, all of them herbivorous. Terrified by the predatory humans, the Venlil struggle to see them as anything else but monsters, but eventually get over their fears. Unfortunately, not all species of the Federation are as willing to look beyond Humanity's diet, especially as the Arxur, lizard-like carnivorous aliens, have been ravaging the galaxy for centuries..."

Hmmmm, I like this interpretation. I feel like my ideal look for the Venlil would either be a mix of the dominant style you draw them in with that style in the one meme picture of Slanek sending his mom a picture with the humans, lol.
Or the white venlil drawing you did. I can't figure out what size though, I don't know ow if I scrubbed the information already but I would think they don't come above the Hips of most humans.

Venlil have something of a canonical look, and it's basically my design, but the tail does not have a puff - search for "Jimik" on the subreddit, it's supposed to be Jimek, and it was commissioned by the story author
And, they are canonically about a head and half shorter than the average human, reaching up to middle-chest or shoulders, before you count the ears. An adult venlil is about the size of a human teenager
