The Urshan:C.A.S:


For organized full information about the Urshans:
http://spore.wikia.com/wiki/Content:Urshan
Physical:The Urshan are a sapient race from the planet Niho in the Hindo star system. In earthly terms they are more similar to mammals than any other animal family but still are different in many ways. They are covered with fur but has no noses for example.
Breathing and Eating: The Urshans like humans do eat from their mouth. They have many sharp but multi tasked teeth because they are omnivores. Their breathing system in not even connected to their feeding system. They breath from three small hatches in each side of their head. When they run or do any other hard physical activity they tend to open those hatches more.
The Brains: One thing that really sets apart the Urshans from most creatures is their double brains. Like other sentient creatures the Urshans have an upper great mind in their skull who they use to think, create believe and other highly mental abilities. Unlike us human, the more functional part of the brain which controls the movement metabolism and other physical processes is another brain, the lower brain. This brain exists in many of the life forms in Niho. This division of brains creates an inner clash between the thinking and the primitive instincts, something that will affect their culture religion and about anything else as well.
Size: On four legs: 1.6 meters from the back to the head. (They can walk on 2 legs as well).
Diet: Omnivores, Mostly herbivores though. The ancestors of the Urshans were carnivores but they tend to eat plants more then meat.
Reproduction: True viviparity (Born without eggs). Males reach sexual maturity at the age of 14. Females reach sexual maturity at the age of 16. The female is pregnant for 8 month, the offspring return to their mother's womb for 4 month after they are born (would be explained with more details in the future). Every time exactly 3 baby Urshans are born but in rare situation 3 pares of twins are born.
Graspers: 5 fingers and 1 thumb in each hand and feet. A total of 24 fingers. The fingers can barely move and has little part in the grasping action. The thumbs are much more powerful and can grasp alone weapons tools and etc. The fingers in the frontal and back legs are the same in every way.
Lifespan: 55 Natural (Modern = 130).
Natural Social Activity: Herds of 15 Urshans. Hierarchy, a few males are hunters, most females are guardians of the cubs and all others just eat and bring vegetarian food.
Geography:The Hindo Star System:
The picture is out of scale.
Like the solar system the Hindo system is called after it's sun, "Hindo".
There are six planets in the Hindo system, this is a list from the nearest to the most far from the sun: Kando, Jano, Niho, Cynar, Kinto, Pashora.
There is a total of 11 moons in the star system.
Hindo: (Sight Bringer)Size: 123 times bigger then Niho.
Geology: Much like our sun. Contains mostly hydrogen. The power source of all the star system.
Kando: (Red Disk)Size: 2.5 times bigger then Niho.
Geology: An extremely radiated planet containing mostly uranium and other metals. Great volcanic activity and acid rains. The surface of the planet is mostly lava seas and rocky.
Moons: 1) Jan: 0.3 times bigger then Niho. Much like Kando it is very volcanic and a little radiated as well. Contains mostly the same materials.
Jano: (Common Disk)Size: 0.9 Times bigger then Niho.
Geology: Altough a little closer to the sun it's cooler inner hit and because of different angles Jano is a slightly cooler and therefore has an icy surface. It seems that under it there is a huge sea with very little islands (5%). The planet contains mostly water (H20) and under it silicon and metals. It is said that it once contained life.
Niho: (Central Ground) Size: 0.9 times smaller then Earth.
Geology: The perfect atmosphere for water to be liquid. It contains 75% water and 25% ground. It contains mostly silicon and a little metals oxygen, nitrogen and hydrogen. From icy planes to rain forest and deserts Niho has it all.
Moons: 1) Katan: 0.08 times bigger then Niho. The moon closest to Niho. It is a rocky planet covered with a very think layer of ice.
2) Afar: 0.2 times bigger then Niho. A rocky planet with no volcanic activity.
Cynar: (Ring One)Size: 5.4 times bigger then Niho.
Geology: A gas giant surrounded by gasses and asteroids ring.
Moons: 1) Cyto: 0.3 Times bigger then Niho. A rocky moon with no volcanic activity. Also contains metals. 2) Cyma 0.02 times bigger the Niho. It is said it is in fact Cyma's moon but this is not yet discovered. A tiny rocky moon.
Kinto: (The Great Rare).Size: 11.2 Times bigger then Niho.
Geology: A huge gas giant and heavy.
Moons: 1)Doo: 0.4 times bigger then Niho. A rocky moon covered with a thick icy layer. 2) Darash: 0.3 times bigger then Niho. Although a rocky planet it has an atmosphere of nitrogen. It also has a powerful magnetic field. 3) Pach: 0.8 times bigger then Niho. Contains mostly metals.
Pashora: (The Small Rare)Size: 0.3 times bigger then Niho.
Geology: A rocky lonely planet. Some believe it is actually a big asteroid.

I would be more than happy to hear what you guys think
