Well, I guess, I just start with a picture:
After I got that out of the way, I can provide some information, I guess.
The Nahurr evolved on a low gravity planet with grass as high as trees on other worlds. The Nahurr lived on grassland and evolved a semi-upright stance that allowed them to look aove the grass for predators. However, just walking with the front limbs off the ground wasn't enough and thus their front body had to enlarge until it was about the size of the rest of the body.
Nahurrs are generally herbivores, eating the hard leaves of their homeplanet's grasslands. This is also where they build the nests for their young. For this reason they evolved their front limb, which had been sort of useless over time into a pair of graspers and later even evoled an opposable thumb to better construct the nests. The eggs are directly laid into the eggs as Nahurr, as well as the rest of the animals on the planet, give birth through their mouth.
Due to the low gravity of their homeworld, they were unable to visit other worlds without the need of technology, which was bulky and not seldomly even fragile which made life outside their homeplanet dangerous. That's why the Nahurr have developed a special form of genetic engineering. Instead of changing the genetic code of one strand of DNA and then grow a new being out of it, they use tiny bio-bots similar to viruses, which infuse DNA into body cells. This way a Nahurr can change its body to a certain degree. For more advanced changes in its body, however a Nahurr has to be put into an artificial cocoon, which works very similar to a real one. While in stasis, the body of the Nahurr will be completely redesigned until it is able to emerge from the cocoon. The only parts, that have been programmed to not be changed by the bio-bots are the brain cells and gametes. The Nahurr in the above picture, for instance, is an individual that has been changed to withstand the pressure of a standard gravity.
Nahurr are very big, even compared to other races. Normal gravity Nahurr are already three times as large as a human and the unchanged Nahurr on their planet are even bigger often double the size of a normal Nahurr, though there are individuals that can be even bigger as Nahurr never stop growing. Their age is is basically limited to the ability of their heart to pump enough blood into the head.
More to come later.
(Man, the D-smiley on this forum looks totally retarded...)
Well, I hope you liked this so far, and if you didn't thenI'll just stick to my Nessyc just suckitup.
