Homebrew Elcor Species Details

Biology

Elcor evolved on The high-gravity world of Dekunna, making them slow, but incredibly strong. Their large, heavy bodies are incapable of moving quickly, but they possess a rather imposing stature and immense strength, as well as thick, tough skin. They move using all four limbs to support and balance their massive bodies. Given their method of communication, they have highly-attuned olfactory senses.

Elcor lips are several vertical slats on their face located where most humans would have a mouth. These lips are capable of holding cigars, flutes, and other similar items. 

Whenever an elcor talks in a language that is not it's own it always speaks in a very monotone voice, to avoid any misunderstandings whilst talking with other species they will always state the emotion they are trying to convey before speaking. examples include: "Pleased greeting. Human, it is always good to see your kind.", “Genuine Query. Is there something I can do for you this day?”, “With barely contained terror. You drive a hard bargain.”

Culture

Elcor's usually prefer to stay where they live rather then travel, which is why so few are seen outside of their home world. Due to evolving on a world where any amount of falling could be lethal elcor are often deeply cautious and conservative. Their culture is built around Small, tight knit groups, despite this they are generally welcoming to outsiders.

Like other races elcor are no stranger to entertainment and the arts. They have artists like Forta whose artworks can drive someone mad if stared at for too long. Other elcor have made a living as actors using their unique way of speaking to convey nuances in plays.
