Lahi
The Lahi are a race of unusual sapients from the Empyrean universe. They are members of the Urrun League, and interuniversal (Class XI).
Physiology
The Lahi are gracile, tall animals reaching 2.4m in height. They have tubular bodies, with two legs and large scythe-arms. A long row of fins goes down their back, and they have skin covered in very small scales.
Their eyes are large, around 6cm in diameter, and can see into the near-UV spectrum.
Very notable is the system of closed vessels that permeates their skin, pumping a mixture of reactive compounds (including extremely odorous mercaptans and a high concentration of hydrogen peroxide) and acid at high pressure within a calcaceous wall. It is strengthened on one side so that if it ruptures, the contents of the vessel will spurt out with extreme force at the attacker.
Diet
The Lahi are omnivorous, eating meat. vegetable and fungal matter.
