Member of this race have webbed feet and are good swimmers, but breathe air and cannot exist below the surface indefinitely (but can hold their breath for a very long time). They are shorter than most humans and tend to be stockier as well. This body type helps them maintain buoyancy so that they naturally float. | Member of this race have webbed feet and are good swimmers, but breathe air and cannot exist below the surface indefinitely (but can hold their breath for a very long time).

Drexi are a short, solid race. They have thick skin that sheds water easily. It has a scaled appearance, but feels more like snake skin than fish scales. | |||
Drexi coloration runs from pale green to deep forest and dark blues. Lighter skin tones are often seen in the northern areas of the planet, where the deepest skintones are evident at the equator. Drexi have short, thick bristly hair that ranges from bright white to dark black, with many tones of grey in between. On Drexallis, having silver hair is a sign of being moon blessed – it is considered a mark of great beauty for both sexes. | |||
They have short fin-like protrusions on the sides of their face, above the ears. These serve to keep their hair pinned back while swimming. Similar fin-like protrusions are repeated on a much smaller scale above the eyes where humans have eyebrows. These will funnel water away from the eyes when a Drexi emerges from the water. While most offworlders never see it, Drexi also have a short vestigial fin running down their spinal column. | |||
Drexi have cartilaginous flaps on their ears and nose to close off these areas from water. They have small mouths and sharp cheekbones, offset by wide amber eyes that can run anywhere from bright gold to dark brown. | |||
Drexi have webbed feet, and dislike wearing shoes when on their homeworld. They have slight webbing between their fingers as well, and often wear special swimming gloves to augment this when they know they will be in the water. | |||
