Neebu
Each and everyone is the anthropomorphic version of some creature--usually one of desert, or African origins. There are also a few mystical creature ones (griffins, and Sphinxes). The creatures are not only of desert origins though, there are tigers, bears, many different birds, lions, and some rain-forest animals.

Choroid
When on Earth they are forced to use breathing apparautus, due to their inability to deal with the lack of constant humidity. This apparatus is shaped like a harmonica, and has a semi-circular plastic mask wrapped behind it. (NOTE: this is optional, in fact, I would prefer drawings without it)
Closely resemble humans (average height : 4'9 -5'5" )
Their skin is almost bone white, occasionally tinted with blue or green.
They each have six , clawed , finger-like extensions on their hands and feet. tTransluscent, webbing extends between every finger and toe.
When they blush, their pale skin blushes powder blue.
A thin line of gills runs down their neck. These give them the ability to breathe underwater.
Most of their clothing resembles wet-suits.
They can be drawn with or without noses.
Coral-like extensions grow from their ears, and occasionally may resemble fins.
A long whip like tail extends from their back ends. The tip ends with a bright fan-like extension, and can push them through the water.

Trasi
The Trasi are not a race--rather they are the group of “things” that inhabit Trasi. The citizens of this place are the robotic //android // failed experiments of all the other planets. Broken house-robots, malfunctioned AI weapons, genetic experiments gone wrong, you get the picture. Even though they were considered “trash” those able to function built their own society, and eventually rose to become a superpower. They now make a living off of collecting the other planet’s trash, repairing it, and selling it.
With these guys you have free reign, but there is usually something broken about them, some reason they were thrown away.
For the most part they are robotic in nature.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sallons'd
They closely resemble humans. (average height : 4'9 -5'9 )
The entire species are extremely tan, their skin bordering on brown. Large bands of phosphercent skin line their bodies, the colors range from neon green, to bright yellow.
Live around 200 years.
Normal number of fingers and toes.
Along their bodies, usually near joints are large bladder like extensions, these drain helium from the air, and allow them to float. They also serve as cushions during collisons.
Their ears are long and pointed. They usually point toward the ground, but can also swivel.
Females are born with small pair of bat-like wings
Haves jaws filled with sharp teeth, but they happen to be mostly vegetarians. The jaws are made to tear the rough skins of their planet's vegatation.
The species can take steps up to a yard wide due to their light bodies.
They have unusually large pupils, and their eyes glow in the dark. It makes it easier for them to see in the dark skies of the homeland.
Due to the constant use of helium, they have extremely high-pitched voices.
Due to the differences in light on Earth, and their home planet--they often need to wear glasses when they arrive.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Echani
All members of the Echani race look more or less the same- pale, white skin that seems to glow in the dark, with pupil/iris-less eyes that vary in colour depending on mood, short snow white hair that is always cropped short (it is disrespectful in Echani culture to have long hair) and considerably beautiful features, though none of them acknowledge their natural beauty, or try to enhance it.
They have a human-like frame, and usually grow to about eight feet in height
They usually have one or two glowing markings on their faces, arms or back. They vary in colour, shape and size.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Akiari
The Akiari are an elemental race. Each indivual is comprised of water, ice, snow, magma, fire, rock, dust, tornadoes, fog, leaves and branches, wood, or metal.
Each species has some control over a base element:water, wind, fire, or earth
The more solid elements have a husky stature, while the more amorphous are leaner. There is no build difference in males and females.
Akiari have no facial features, so they communicate by a sonar/telepathy mix, and they become aware of surroundings by the same process.
All Akiari on a different planet wears a containment suit that hold in their substance, allow them to experience the 5 senses, allow them to speak, and hide their Akiari nature to other races.
If you look at an Akiari's coloring, you can tell if they are good or bad. The evil Akiari have a much more darker, rotten look than those that want to help.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Mantriani
Eight limbs, four to walk and swim with, two for manipulating objects. Three joints in all limbs
Figure looks a bit like a centaur with a long neck.
Gills on the sides of their necks, for breathing underwater, as well as lungs for breathing air.
Hands are human in looks, but with webbed, four-joined fingers.
They have two sets eyelids that close vertically. The second set is clear
Males have a finned ridge down their spine.
Long tails with a trident-shaped fin on the end. The males fin is poison.
Reproduction is similar to plants, with the males releasing pollen from their tails, and the females catching it in a slit on their chest.
Short rounded muzzle. Sharp teeth in the front, and grinding molars in the back.
Their skin is smooth and moist. If they get too dry, their skin flakes and cracks.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Skassi
Covered in dark, metallic scales that have little sheen to them, and don't have much color variation from one Skassi to the next; they tend to be either blue, purple, black, gray, brown, or on very rare occasion a gray-white, though this is exceedingly rare. The only parts of a Skassi's body that are not scaled tend to be their reproductive organs, the lower halves of their faces, their ears (which are, curiously, covered in a coarse fur), and the pads of their hands and feet. Exposed skin is usually either gray, black, or brown, but may occasionally have a more white or purple undertone. Skassis are incapable of growing hair and their skulls are covered in scales as well.
Have very wide mouths, filled with sharp needle-like teeth (two rows of them). Do not have eyes or noses, and smell with their long, tube-like tongues (which are not forked; they end at tapered, pointed tips) that flicker in and out of their mouths periodically. The tongues are black, as are their gums, though the tips of the tongues tend to fade to a dark blue or purple.
Due to being blind, Skassis have extremely sharp senses of hearing and smell, and also have heat-sensitive organs in place of where their eyes would be that allow them to at least sense other (warm-blooded) creatures and have an idea of where others are. They also have an underdeveloped sort of method of echolocation, though it isn't very precise, and most Skassis on Earth have managed to figure out that shrieking every few seconds to know where things are makes others shy away from them, so they refrain from using it. To help them avoid colliding with things, they tend to use one set of arms to constantly feel around in front of them, and another set to feel around behind them or to their sides, the third set being used normally.
Male Skassis grow a pair of sharp, small horns upon their heads. Females grow shorter, stubby ones.
Female skassi are smaller and hunched over.
On that note, Skassis are carnivorous. Vegetables upset their stomachs.
Skassis have three pairs of long, skinny arms, with four-fingered hands at the end of each limb, and one pair of even longer and slightly bulkier legs. Their feet are flat and three-toed, and the toes are more like hard, sharp claws than digits. Their fingers are extremely long and slender and taper off to sharpened tips. Their torsos are hunched and tend to be bulky in the chest area to support the extra limbs. Skassis also have long, skinny, scaled, whip-like tails that tend to be about as long as they are tall -- which is, by the way, long, for Skassis on average tower over humans at seven to eight-and-a-half feet in height. (Females are usually six to seven feet tall.) Their necks are abnormally long, and their bodies tend to be very slender.
They also dislike bright lights, because while they're unable to see, they still have blind, small, useless and evolutionarily neglected eyes capable of sensing light, and they are very used to either pitch-black darkness or only faint illumination.
They have large lungs that are capable of breathing oxygenated air, but since they don't have noses, they breathe with their mouths.

Xeernites
Their skin color ranges in various shades of green or brown/tan. Have you ever picked up a leaf, or stem of a flower? Do you realize how there are little stringy things that are pulled snugly together to form the leaf? Well, that's what the skin of a Xeernite is like. The string-like strands are wound up, around stick-like bones, that support the body. Their 'Hair' is actually just skin, grown out. It's usually wound up, like their skin appears to be, but with no support. Their 'hair' ranges in shades of green, as their skin does. Sometimes, the person will have light green skin, and then a dark, emerald green grown-hair-skin
This species have lips that are usually a light brown, with a woody looking grain. Not only are their lips brown, but so are their teeth.
The limbs on a Xeernite are very willowy, and their figure tends to be slender
Like plants, Xeernites have cells that produce their own food .
Xeernite's height ranges from four to six feet,when fully grown.
Males and females have few differences. Though all tend to be slender, as mentioned above, their differences in body types are similar to the ones in humans.
Females have wider hips, and tend to have breasts.
Males have broader shoulders, their voices tend to be deeper, and they usually are slightly taller then females.
Eyes have a very large pupil/iris the colors vary.
