Planet of Origin: Delta Pavonis 2
The Wreeds is an adavanced alien species which has developed an advanced space-faring civilisation using
interstellar travel with “frozen sleep,” holographic projection at a
distance, and super-advanced computers. They have contact with at least
another species, theForhilnor from Beta Hydri 3.
Of aquatic descent, Wreeds are headless bipeds with four arms placed all around a torso shaped like an inverted pear. The arms still show their origin as vestgial fins. The pectoral arms hads 4 fingers eacc, among which opposable thumbs. The ventral arm had 9 fingers while the dorsal arm had 6 thicker ones. They have a glossy black strip running around their upper torso which seems to be a sensory organ and skin foldings on either side of the ventral and dorsal arms which serves as ears and an opening at their top taht serves as mouth for eating ans speaking. They are covered in hair (color diversity is unknown but reddish-brown has been observed) apart from their legs and forearms which shows heir blue=grey leathery skin. They dont use clothing apart from utility belts. Their DNA has 54 chromosomes.
Wreeds have discovered that mass extinction has happened at the same time (440, 365, 225, 210 et 65 millions years ago) on
their homeworld, Delta Pavonis 2 and Earth and deduced that the
simultaneous sets of mass
extinctions prove that not only has a Creator
consciously designed the universe, this supranatural being intervenes in it on a large scale, apparently to promote the evolution of sentient life
