I really like the concept of this, it can be recreated for other species, like the avians (rather than that one I can't think on other specie where the concept can go to). Keep up the good work!
Interesting... But what does this make me? I am more intelligent than other Florans, and I have a speech impediment which makes it so that I don't hiss. I need protective clothing to live in cold area, I don't drool, and I have two eyes. Would that make me a common Floran? No matter what I am, I'm still fantastic. I also adore your willingness to study my species!
What about an apex-genetically modified floran? Hmm? What category do I fall under? Actually I suppose my case would be medically interesting, yet not medically relevant as I am a freak case out of billions.
(Sorry for reviving this thread, I don't check my watched threads too often). Very nice wok on the latest species. I also like what DarkAndStormyKnight said about an Apex experimented subspecies. I also had the idea for perhaps a large and bulky subspecies that perhaps resembled trees or something of the like.
