Elcor

One of the more unique species known to the Milky Way galaxy in terms of physiology and anatomy, the Elcor are a lumbering quadrupedal species native to the high-gravity world of Dekuuna. As slow-moving in culture and politics as they are in life, the government of the elcor, known as the Courts of Dekuuna, is based upon a circle of elders who spend their time pouring through the ancient writings of their own predecessors, distilling those recommendations until they can determine the best path forward.

Only challenged in pure physical brawn by the Krogan, the Elcor are naturally hesitant to leave the comforts of their own planets. Prolonged exposure to worlds with significantly lower forces of gravity can have lasting effects on their health, and the constant need to convey emotional tone with words instead of naturally can become grating when in the company of aliens. The elcor have an extremely developed sense of smell, able to detect differences in chemical composition from kilometers away. Much of their language and mood is conveyed using pheromones as well, something that is unable to be learned by other sapient species. To assist, they convey the emotional tone of their statements before speaking.

The high gravity of their homeworlds coupled with the relaxed, slower-paced lifestyle of the elcor have given them a unique skillset from other species in the galaxy. Elcor of this background are given a +3 Constitution modifier and a +2 Strength modifier.
