Other Notes

General
Their tails and headdresses are prehensile and often get used like hands.
Their ears can swivel around, lay flat, and hone in on noises like a cats.
It is speculated that they came from sea slugs and/or salamander-like creatures.
Their skin is very soft and moist-feeling to the touch.
They have skin patterns that range in gradients, spots, and stripes that can appear anywhere on their bodies, but the back will have some markings if no other markings are present.
Their canines are extremely sharp and a bit long.
They cannot breathe underwater. Their headdresses and tails absorb oxygen, which can sustain them underwater for a maximum of 180 minutes (3 hours).
Their tails and headdresses feel like their skin (soft and moist), but are also squishy and are extremely sensitive to changes in the environment around them (heat, cold, etc.).

Body and Reproduction
Since Cuadibra have a set of both male and female genitalia set internally, they have smaller stomachs, bladders, and lungs to compensate for this, thus requiring a large amount of food to sustain them as they "snack" throughout the days. The small lungs do not bother them near as much, since healthy Cuadibra receive much of their oxygen through the skin and cellular storage sacs in their tails and headdresses.
Cuadibra do, however, have a long gut tract, so they can eat just about anything. They also have a resistance to most poisons.
Also due to their hermaphroditism, Cuadibra wombs are very small. Their pregnancies last only three months, and after those three months are up, a baby only the size of the palm of their hand is born. Newborn Cuadibra are extremely helpless: their eyes are closed, their ears are small and folded over, their hands and feet are barely developed, and their headdresses and tails are very tiny (even tinier for those who will grow to have nubbed tails and/or headdresses). A newborn Cuadibra's best senses are touch and taste, and they will remain at their birther's breast constantly for a period of six months, slowly developing their hands, feet, headdress, tail, eyes, smell, and other senses. Their eyes will open at about a month after birth. After the six months have passed, Cuadibra babies operate like human six-month-olds, and the developmental track is near the same from then on out.

Society
On their home planet, they wear clothes next to none of the time.
Cuadibra, while they have the ability to travel the cosmos, often do not. There are no Cuadibra colonies, and it's uncommon for a Cuadibra to want to leave Ayowani.
 Since most of the creatures on their planet are aquatic and exotic-looking, and the land creatures hunt in the water as well as on land, Cuadibra have competition with the practically all organisms around them. Some Cuadibra live entirely in the sea, dwelling on floating structures woven by generations of Cuadibrian hands, while others dwell on the beaches (the most common place to find the species) and beside lakes.
The entire society runs on a strong moral code, and those who wish to stray from it more often join thief guilds and head for other places than cause any ruckus. Becoming a murderer is practically unheard of.
They will always side with the environmentalists or those who seek peace in war. When wars do break out, they make like Switzerland and stay out of it.
Every Cuadibra is trained to defend themselves. Their entire species is a giant militia.
There isn't much of an economy, as the species operate as hunter-gatherers that barter and share among each other. They will export medical flora and fauna but not much else.
They have a species spokesperson that they send to assemblies. This person is re-chosen every 3-5 years by vote and is generally an older member of society.
They believe that as long as you take care of the planet, the planet will take care of you. Not much else.
While they live primitively on their own planet, this is only due to their respect of nature. They have space-ready vehicles that run on the energy-filled juices of the giant fungi of their planet, which produce thousands of tons of sap per month. In fact, before they harnessed this energy, the overflow of these mushroom's near-toxic (to any life form but them) sap was a major environmental conservation problem. Each community has several of these spacecraft, and many children grow up learning to build and maintain their own. Those that choose to live on other planets adapt to that planet's way of life, though their build spaceship will always remain special to them. Some even say that the Cuadibra even have a mental link to their spacecraft.
