Hadians

The Hadians are a bipedal species hailing from the planet Garrius-Hade in the Ammeria galaxy. They are the founders of the United Planets of Garrius-Hade, which asserts itself as the leading and dominant power in the Nitza Cluster, a group of five major galaxies bound by military and diplomatic pacts with the Hadians.

Physical

Standing at two metres tall as a fully grown adult, they have an arm length of 28 inches; three inches longer than the average Human length. Their hands have a tight grip on anything they hold. They can crush a small rock with their own force without any assistance. Through their early evolution, it allowed them, as hunter-gatherers, to catch prey with little struggle. Their feet are similar; the Hadian's ability to clutch on to rock-side cliff faces was due to the immense force that the feet can produce.

The differences between the Human humanoid and Hadians begin to appear on the head. Their ears are giant and flap with the wind, similar to Elephants on Earth. They are, however, extremely vulnerable to sudden gusts of wind, which even the weakest gust could damage the nerves. To their benefit, the size of the ears allows them to hear incredibly quiet noises from a mile away. In mating rituals, Hadians typically danced and flapped their ears in particular patterns to attract their mate. They also engage in a sport-like ritual where two Hadians, usually competing for territory, resources or mates, fight to tear off each other's ears off. In the case the ear is severely injured, or ripped from the head entirely, bacteria in their blood veins work to grow a new ear.

Culture

Their native tongue is Uxxi, as translated to the human language. It is a gender neutral language that is spoken by 98.5% of the current Hadian population in the Nitza Cluster. Most of its older languages died out many millennia ago. When the United Planets was first established, Uxxi was signed into law as the predominant language. Although, some distant settlements developed a newer form of Uxxi; one that involved gendered pronouns. It is often known as New Uxxi, or Uxxi Pax.
