Drell

The Drell are a humanoid reptilian species that originally hail from the arid world of Rakhana. During their major industrial expansion in the 14th-Century CE, the already desert world began a swift descent into lifelessness due to overexertion of the planet's natural resources. Discovered by the Hanar in 1983 CE, the benevolent marine species began an evacuation of the world over the course of a decade that would result in the transportation of 375,000 drell refugees to their own homeworld of Kahje. Today, most drell reside on the ocean-covered world alongside their hanar saviors, those few who remain on Rakhana slowly dwindling as resources grow more and more scarce.

With a denser muscle mass than other known humanoid species, the drell often possess a wiry strength when paired with their smaller stature. Their dual eyelids are an evolutionary tactic to help shield themselves from the harsh sun and sand of their homeworld, though the purpose for their fused central fingers has no solid theory behind the fact. Their skin is known to produce a mild hallucinogenic venom that can be mixed in drinks or transferred upon skin contact.
