Biology and Appearance

Worxerians were covered in stiff barbed quills, the longest of which grew on the arms and legs, and could reach a length of several centimeters. Worxerians possessed the unique ability to propel these quills by simply flexing specific muscles, which could propel the quills with incredible speed and accuracy up to thirty feet away.

Society and Culture

Worxerians were nearly-extinct bipedal sentient mammals with sharp quills. They were capable of hurling these with great speed and accuracy by flexing their muscles in a certain manner. Their native world, Worxer, was destroyed when its sun went supernova. The surviving population gradually became sterile for a lack of nutrients found exclusively in their home sector of Elrood. Most of their species culture was lost and many travel the galaxy looking for work or a cure for their species.
