[SIZE=12pt]Designation: [/SIZE][SIZE=12pt]Sentient[/SIZE]
[SIZE=12pt]Physical Description: [/SIZE][SIZE=12pt]Essentially the same as in the pictures provided. When compressed, the Wyoopi are roughly 4ft tall, but when they inflate they grow to become nearly 6 feet.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=12pt]Distinctions:[/SIZE]

• [SIZE=12pt]The Wyoopi are capable of “inflating” their skin up to 1 ½ times their original size. The way this works is they inhale air which then gets warmed and transferred to various air pockets, which then inflate and give them cushioning.[/SIZE]
  [SIZE=12pt]As a result of losing some dexterity while inflated, the Wyoopi have developed a mode of transportation called “Rolling”, where they curl up into a ball and, well, roll.[/SIZE]

[*][SIZE=medium]Active Metabolism: the Wyoopi have a very active metabolism which allows them to maintain homeostatis. However, this also means that they require large amounts of food[/SIZE]
[*][SIZE=medium]Keen Eyesight (keener than an average humanoid, that is)[/SIZE]
[SIZE=medium]Strengths:[/SIZE]

• [SIZE=medium]Impervious to the cold: Since their home is an ice world, the Wyoopi have evolved to be practically impervious to cold temperatures as extreme as -75o[/SIZE]C when they inflate.
• [SIZE=medium]Highly intelligent: The Wyoopi are highly intelligent, showing a particular interest in medical, architectural, and defensive technology.[/SIZE]
• [SIZE=medium]Iron-like Stomach: Due to the harsh terrain, these guys can and will eat almost anything.[/SIZE]
• [SIZE=medium]Strong hide: Their skin is extremely durable, though it loses some of the strength in return for flexibility when inflated.[/SIZE]
• [SIZE=medium]Resilience to Force: Their lack of Force Sensitivity has given the Wyoopi the ability to counteract things like Mind Trick, Telepathy, etc, like what the Yuuzhan Vong have (or don’t have, technically). Unlike Yuuzhan Vong, though, a Force User will still be “aware” of a Wyoopi.[/SIZE]

[SIZE=12pt]Weaknesses:[/SIZE]

• [SIZE=medium]Anti-Aggression: The Wyoopi culture has been devoid of war and violence for so long that asking one to fight would be the equivalent of asking your stereotypical Sith to put on a tutu and do ballet. Completely hilarious, but utterly useless.[/SIZE]
• [SIZE=medium]Heat: Being used to cold, any temperatures higher than 15o[/SIZE]C will initiate extreme discomfort, resulting in intense nausea, vertigo, sweats, etc.
• [SIZE=medium]No Dexterity while inflated: Pretty self-explanatory. When inflated, the Wyoopi lose some dexterity when inflated, meaning they can pick things up, but they can’t do the finer skills, and walking becomes very difficult.[/SIZE]
• [SIZE=12pt]No Force Sensitivity: A drawback to their Force resilience is that Wyoopi cannot use the Force at all. There aren’t even any Force Sensitives – none, whatsoever. They are, in a way, cut off from the Force.[/SIZE]

[SIZE=12pt]Description:[/SIZE][SIZE=12pt] [/SIZE][SIZE=12pt]Wyoopi are a technologically-gifted species which live peacefully on their little world. Their personal nature and the bleakness of their home result in most Wyoopi being reserved in their manners, showing emotion only in private. This does not mean that they are hostile towards outsiders – on the contrary, they are very curious about others; their distantness merely comes from their more logically-inclined mindset.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=12pt]Intent: [/SIZE][SIZE=12pt]I wanted to create something similar to a puffer fish which can also double as an interesting tech companion. Oh, and bring Baymax into Chaos.[/SIZE]
