Bith

The Bith were an extremely intelligent, peaceful species of mammalian sentients native to the jungle planet Clak'dor VII. They were easy distinguished by their large heads, large eyes, and their complex, unique olfactory and auditory senses. Bith were found commonly throughout the galaxy as scientists, engineers, and musicians. Other members of their genus, Clakus, were the Aalagar and Y'bith.

Biology and appearance
The Bith were a unique species compared to other sentients. They were humanoid, with five, long, segmented digits on each limb, one head, and a similar internal structure to primates. They were unable to grow any visible hair, only growing small clear hairs around their facial features. They were classified as craniopods, a heavily evolved, pseudomamallian family with large brains, extremely intelligent nature, and lack of a need to sleep normally. Bith had one lung, and exhaled through microscopic pores in their skin. Bith had large black, lidless eyes, capable of seeing microscopic features. However, they were extremely near-sighted. Bith had no normal nose, as their olfactory organs were within their facial flaps. Bith possessed no exterior ear, as their whole auditory system was within two small holes underneath their cranium. Their auditory sense was extremely powerful as well, and was capable of sensing tonal qualities of sound as other species were capable of sensing colors.

Bith, as they had extremely developed minds, had no need for sleep. Instead, they underwent a mediative state for up to four hours. Once awoken, they were fully rested. Bith were viviparous, and were capable of mating all year round. However, mating was considered unpleasant to the species, and occasionally painful. Bith's reproductive organs were similarly placed in respect to other primates, although structured slightly differently. They were considered sharper and more rigid to other mammalian sentients. Many Bith couples instead donated their genetic material, and sent it to be incubated.
