The Nim'choo.
possessive; Choommin
informally; Nim, Choomen, Chu
The Nim'choo are highly intelligent hexapodal creatures that excel in the use of technology despite the fact that they were startling slow in making it to the industrial revolution. At that point it took 134 standard years(117 Nim years) to reach space.(humans took 162)
Length: 110-180cm
Biology
Choomen have six eyes, two are set on stalks; the non-stalked eyes average 20/30, the stalked 20/15. Due to use of hemoglobin and hemocyanin their blood tends to be purpled gray.
--------------------------------------
will add stuff for food
Fighting
Simply put a nim isn't built to fight, they will normally avoid battle for that reason, however they didn't have the handgun intill they started inter-species trade. Prior to this the rare need was meet crudely. Due to the fact that their front arms have a short reach and are weak, they can only handle weapons effectively in the hind limbs. Because they would have to grapple and guarantee death all weapons are pole/chain armed, and because they simply flail at their target they must make every part of the weapon useful; what isn't sharp is solid enough to strike with.
A high favorite is the meteor hammer, although a lethal hit is nearly impossible it is a weapon that can be used with skill rather then luck; it can also be used, with a monkey's-fist knot, in peacetime as a tool.
