WELCOME TO THE
TELLARITES HOME PAGE

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Tellarites are basically
humanoid, with a coarser skin texture and more facial and body hair than Humans. Their
hair, covering all but the frontal face and the hands, is not as thick as animal fur, but
is more reminiscent of an extremely hairy person.
Their home worlds have a thinner atmosphere than Terra, leading to
their overdeveloped nasal openings, which have been unkindly (and sometimes insultingly)
compared to the snouts of Terran swine.
They have a roll
of abdominal fat that makes all Tellarites appears to be portly.
Tellarites are slightly stronger and more hardy than Humans, but their
appearance and personality combine to give them a lower charisma.
Members of the Tellarite race are racially suspicious, argumentative
and brash, at least by Human standards. Those who trust too much or give in too easily are
consider weak fools in Tellarite society. Surprisingly, some Tellarites make good
diplomats - they do not give in easily. Tellarites enjoy a good argument, and merchant's
bazar on a Tellarite world is a very lively place, indeed!
Tellarites are fond of food
and drink. Fortunately, alcohol has a little adverse effect on them, only making them more
stubborn. Nevertheless, they are capable of going twice as long without food or water as
the average Human, living off their fatty deposit for quite a while.
