Hair color: Black, Brown and White
Breathes: Type I

Strengths:
(+) Multiple arms, 4-6 max Arms become shorter from Shoulders down ( have a primary pair though & Arm size goes as Following Large which would roughly be almost the size of their height, Medium 8.5in and Small 4.5in )

(+) Hard Skin/ Bones, Skin is naturally hard and underneath is a fatty layer to keep warm and protect Vitals; Bones are Very Dense and are Large. Most Sharp Weapons or Objects need more force then normal to pierce deep. Light Blaster fire can be reflected off armored Scales and only scales if hit in a Area bewteen Scales Ex: Bewteen Bicep & Forarm. Damage will take affect. The Scales Range from as small as 5in and can get to as big as 1.8ft depending on body area ( unless its a Lightsaber or Medium-Heavy Blaster/ Ammo/ Special Ammo Type)

(+) Physical Strength, Can lift as much as 1Ton when in Prime and Focused, Bodies are Primed for Removal of Large rocks and Digging

(+) Telepathic, lacks major development of Vocal Cords and can project thoughts to other Sentient Life ( this does not mean they can mind control)

(+) Scaled & Horned, Covered in thick Scales on back, elbows, knees, Claws & shoulders ( very pointy :cool: )

(+) Hyper Intelligent, has Triple Helix DNA and Adapts quickly

(+) Sonar/Sensory Sight, The De'Nochsax are Blind due to their Dark underground Nature. Where the De'Nochsax are not covered in scale lies hairs similar to Cat Whiskers. Sonar works by The De'Nochsaxs Claws tapping together or Tongue popping against roof of mouth.

(+)Cannabalism, Similar to Amani,the De'Nochsax brain tissues are spread out through their bodies and Cannibalism is a Social Norm. This enables a Proxy of shared learning and Memories. This Process also realeses a Chemical that makes this process addicting and Speeds healing up for limited time of 5days.

(+) Planarianhttp://www.planarians.org/ & Reptile Hybrid anatomy




Weaknesses:
(-) Blind, The De'Nochsax are Blind and their eyes no longer help them

(-) Mutations, Prone to Multipule Mutations that make their Kind More Hostile & Self Destructive. This is main reason for their Reclusive Lives

(-) Knowledge Overload, De'Nochsax's that consume too much brain tissue over a setting of a year can develop a Psychosis of sorts/ Mental issues

(-) Metabolism High, Has a high Metabolism and must maintain it or risk a Coma like Hibernation, when awakened the Species will be in a weak state due to loss of muscle mass and will have max of 7-12 days to Feed

(-) Disease, Mainly a Underground species the De'Nochsax are Prone to Varied Diseases and can be seriously injured internally by them

(-) Tremors, It is possible to Stand still and be invisible to the De'Nochsax but this would only work for limited time.

(-) Sensitive, Hearing is Extreme and the slightest high pitch can harm, Aswell as a equally extreme Smell. For Example a Hutt next to a De'Nochsax would be in Vomiting.





Distinctions: Resembling a Large mammal like Reptile the De'Nochsax Bares Large Wing like Features on Back for Digging, Clawed, Large Fang like Teeth, Blind and some have eyes and others do not, Many Arms that range to Large-small as you look down the pairs, Large clawed feet, Large hands and arms, Generally very Muscular, Huge height, Horned and Scaled, Some bare Head Horns some dont. Mutations in the Race make for almost unlimited physical change. For Good or Bad

Average Lifespan: 100-200 years ,pretty long

Estimated Population: Roughly 500 left on Dathomir Underground
Diet: Carnivores & Cannibals, Eats around 20lbs of Weak within a week. Can be poisoned by some plant life
Communication: Telepathic communication bewteen other De'Nochsax and Sentient species

Culture: Survival, Expanding Knowledge & War. You would think a Hyper-Intelligent Species would not need War, But its common to War against the "Lessers" The ones who go insane by consuming too much. Social System is close to a Colony that includes a Leader and branches down to workers and Gathers. Leaders Consist of a Line of Force-Sensitives that are looked apon as chosen to lead and very special due to some abilities they show. In other words being Forcesensitive was rare and made you respected from birth and favored in leaders. The Royalty of The Colony. If ever granted to enter a Tunnel system of their it would look similar to a Ant Hill but lined in Salvaged Metals and materials.

Technology level: Understand Large variety of Technology and would make Excellent Engineers but mostly refuse It believing that Technology is not needed for the most part

General behavior: In Sort Survivalist and Honor bond. A Race Very Intelligent and crafty. Salvagers, Hunters and Warriors. Followed a Social Order Similar to the Ancient Egyptians. A Royal Line to Rule and From their a Branching Line of Jobs. Refusal to do a Job or standby one resulted in Exile. Reclusive and Passive by Nature and a Force to be Reckoned with if Threatened. Massive Creatures wrapped in Honor for their leaders and Rulers.

History: The De'Nochsax were not always blind. Before 426 ABY The race was able to see partially on Dathomirs Surface and lived off the land. Hunting and living off of mostly Bolma, Baz nitch & Brakaset. Aswell as each other, De'Nochsax were Cannibals by nature due to their unique anatomy. With Brain Tissue Spread through out their bodies they Quickly learned many things from each other and were even able to retain memories. When the "Norach" or Leader would come to the end of his life their the appointed Colony Lore Master would devour the Leaders body to learn the Colony Secert's and learning. This enabled Quick learning. De'Nochsaxs hunted on the Surface during this time and lived in shallow caves in the mountain sides. This process continued for Years Intil a group of De'Nochsax known for Rebellion stepped out and tried to make their own Colony separate from the main. The Rebels ate more then they could hold literally and embraced the addiction of eating their own Flesh. During this time Wars split the Colony in Factions and Clans. A species so Intelligent fallen to War. The Conflict killed hundreds of Thousands of De'Nochsax. Then in 427 ABY All chaos breaks loose. The Gulag Virus Spread Quickly and the Royals that Maintained the Main Colony were able to Foresee the coming event through the Force Meditation and Rituals done by their Oldest Ancestors. The Royal line Tunneled Deep into the Depts of Dathomir and Collapsed the Entry Leaving the Hundreds of Thousands to die in their Conflict. This Newly Built Colony Worked many years and the De'Nochsax had a great deal of Peace for the Time, The Virus Affected them little and they showed some signs of it. Many died fighting and others granted a Resistance/ Immunity. The De'Nochsax Race flourished and got through the times, little did they know that their food supply was slowly diminishing away. 834 ABY The Colony had developed no need for their Eyes and adapted nicely to the Dark cave tunnels under Dathomir. Able to see through Sonar and Sensory hairs.These new Adaptations were resualt of Mutations and worked great at a price. The Storage of Food came down to little to none and the Colony embraced Total Cannibalism once again. The De'Nochsax Race once again at near Extinction. With Roughly 500 left and others in a hibernation state due to lack of Food, The Remaining De'Nochsax made way for the Surface once again in hope of new beginning. 835 ABY Reaching the Surface of Dathomir started a new Age for the De'Nochsax race and they quick started scavenging and searching of clue of what happen.

Notable Player-Characters: To be added

Long read on this one. Lots of interesting stuff.


  • How big are the scales you're talking about? It sounds more like chitin plates, given that you can stick a blade between them. Scales are typically little, like on most reptilian critters.

  • "Small/medium/large" doesn't help with the limbs. Give me lengths relative to the median height, please.

  • I feel like the ability to learn by eating tissue is a little strange. How does that work? The regenerative metabolism does make some sense, though.

  • Ant colonies are dictated by the biology (IE, their queens are technically unique variations within the species anatomy), whereas heiarchical monarchies are usually related to traditional lineage or some other claim of wealth and or power. Why is the monarch of the De'Nochsax in charge? Inherited title, ritual combat, has the most arms, their gods dictate it, take your pick.

  • Also, even though it's a small thing, you've got a few typoes here and there. Admittedly, I'm in a glass house here, but it'd be useful to proof your post in places while editing, make sure we're all good here.

A picky one hehe

  • scales size done

  • Lib size done

  • Learn by eating tissue i cant really explain but i added a new perk that might help explain it

  • Took out Ants and just stuck to Ancient Egypt and expanded bit more

From: http://www.theforce.net/swtc/amanin.html
"Brain The Amanin brain is distributed throughout the body, consistent with planarian biology. Galaxy Guide 12 agrees with this conclusion. It may be possible for simple aptitudes or aversions to be transmitted between individuals if there is a sufficient exchange of body material. Amanin (as planarians) may be capable of learning by proxy, and cannibalism would be an important and advantageous part of the species' lifestyle. Mutual cannibalism may be a cultural norm. Devouring exchanged tissues would allow amanin to share learning and perhaps even memories."

Edit the spelling of "Multipel" in the multiple arms line. After that, this will be switched to pending approval and handed off to an RPJ. I dig it so far!
