The Korri evolved from amphibians on their oceanic world of [[Beta Korrilae II]], located in the [[Freeworlds Region]] of the [[Par'tha Expanse]]. Their moist skin is a mottled blue-grey color, though light-to-dark variations exist. While their auditory and olfactory senses are underdeveloped, they have excellent vision and can even see to a limited degree in wavelengths not normally visible to most humanoids. Their "ears" are nothing more than a double-layered membrane under their skin that vibrates over their auditory canals. Korri have no "noses." Instead, catfish-like whiskers pick up airborne chemicals, which their brains interpret as "smells." | |||
