Description

I’ve decided to release the first few chapters my original science-fiction book(lets call it Neco Wafers until I think of a better title :P) online. To build interest in this project, I am going to build a small encyclopedia of all the alien species that will appear in my book. Each entry will have art and a description of that alien. I might change some of the names of this stuff later. You are free to use my aliens to fill up the universe of your stories or RPGs,as long as you ask and credit me. Enjoy.

Heldopays

One of the fist aliens to make contact with the human race were the Heldopays(#_-* ,in native language). These sentient Alaxnoninkds resemble snakes ,but internally are more like insects, leading scientists to speculate that they share a common,space-faring ,ancestor. Hailing from the desert moon Desseria,Heldopays are well adapted to there environment. The long bone spines on their backs can be raised to repel air-borne predators. Their large eyes help with nighttime hunting,while the layer of slime that coats their bodies protects them from the scorching hot daytime ground, as well as the many parasitic creatures they share the planet with. The common Heldopay is between 4 and 6 ft in length,and about 6 inches across at their thickest section. Their spines can be up to a foot long. On Desseria,the cool night is when the herbivorors come out to forage,and the Heldopays use their dark coloration and wide eyes to help them sneak up on prey. Early Heldopays were fully nocturnal, but as they began to try eating fruits as well, they also started to come out during the day,when their was less compilation. This erratic sleeping schedule lead to them forming a symbiotic relation ship with the Zceleo. The Zceleo are small,colorful,Beetle-like creatures covered in super-sensitive hairs. A Zceleo warns a sleeping Heldopay of any upcoming dangers ,and in return the Heldopay protects the Zceleo from the many deadly denizens of Desseria. In their current society,every Heldopay has a Zceleo,which they treat like a close friend.
Their society is very open and sharing. They support each other without question. On Desseria it is hard enuf to survive,much less start a war. In the hot climate the versatile metals of the moon can be easy worked to form buildings,Gun-like weapons and space crafts. Although they only have a 6 major cities,with most of the population still nomadic,the Heldopays have some very innovative technology,like the simple-yet-effective stun blasters they use to ward away dangerous “insects” and their ring-shaped spaceships, which rotate to produce artificial gravity and facilitate faster than light travel. Ever sense they fist made contact,humans and Heldopay have gotten along in relative peace,with earth gathering a sizable immigrant population. But humans and other races generally think of the Heldopays as being primitive and weak. While they are not as directly power full as the (2) and (3), Heldopays are very adaptable and reliant, and often see of enterly new ways to solve old problems.

One of the many races in the (3)s pan-galatic alliance.

(2) and (3) represent upcoming aliens.
