Wuxria (singular form is Wuxrian, as is the adjective) are native to the planet Scharlaff in the Empire of 1,000,000 Suns.  They are an intelligent species who never achieved a technological culture on their own due to a lack of fine manipulation ability. 

Physiology

Wuxria are large and pear-shaped. They do not have heads separate from their bodies.  Their ears are large flaps that hang down the sides of their bodies. 

Their arms are long, flat tentacles without hands. 

Wuxria have short, stocky legs, and broad feet that give them a waddling gate. 

Wuxria have only one eye; however its motion while walking provides an amount of depth-perception comparable to what would be expected if they had two.  The downside of this arrangement is that they lose depth-perception while standing still.

Male Wuxria are mottled brown and grey in color, and are larger than the females.  An average adult male would weigh about 800lbs in Earth's gravity.

Female Wuxria are smaller than the males, an average adult female would weigh 500lbs on Earth.  Female Wuxria are bright pink in color, but as they age, their skin gradually darkens to purple.

Culture

Before they were conquered by the E1MS, the Wuxria were omnivorous pack hunters who lived in small villages for mutual defense.  Their structures were simple arrangements of stacked stones and logs.  While their languages were well-developed, they had only a rudimentary writing system, due to their lack of hands.  Most Wuxrian languages combine spoken and gestural elements.  This has caused most xenographers to classify the pre-contact Wuxrian culture as a storyteller civilization.

After conquest, the Wuxria were afforded only a low-caste standing in the empire, largely due to their lack of technical savvy.  They were valuable; however, for the large amount of physical labor they were able to do, due to their large size.

It became common for young Wuxria to have a neural interface implanted as a right of passage, as this would allow them to control robotic limbs, letting them participate in a technological culture that expected its members to have hands.  Members of several fundamentalist religious sects refused this custom, preferring the old ways.  Some influential families had gene therapy procedures done to give their future descendants biological hands.

Wuxria also adapted to life in the empire by taking to wearing pants.  Their lack of hands left them unable to make clothing on their own, and after being introduced to technology the fashion was to wear pants with integrated shoes as the primary article of clothing.  Wuxria seldom cover their upper bodies.

Wuxria spread throughout the empire, and many even joined the various breakaway states and pirate bands that left the empire.
