Species Name: Cerebrocrustacean

Type: Humanoid Crustacean

Physical Traits: Cerebrocrustaceans closely resemble giant crabs with  red/brown exoskeletons with small spikes around the face and on top of their head. A Cerebrocrustacean's head is very large, with arms sprouting from each side. They have claws, four/six spider-like legs and a stubby torso. A Cerebrocrustacean's face is composed of only eyes and a mouth. They have a large brain, giving them high intelligence and  can solve difficult calculations mentally in a few seconds. They know complex angular physics, and can visualize equations and movement of objects as if they're actually there. Cerebrocrustaceans can also produce and manipulate electricity, in forms that can be put to various uses, including launching electricity, creating protective coatings, creating force fields, by opening the exoskeleton plates on their skull or using their pincers. Cerebrocrustaceans can use their electrokinesis to telekinetically move objects, they're also capable EM wave readers enabling telereceiving. They can control machinery and similar things using their electrokinesis, giving them a form of technokinesis. If a Cerebrocrustacean's skull plates are closed while using their brain for electricity, they can be hurt and overheat. They are also vulnerable to attacks while their skull plates are open.

Orbit/Climate: 1 AU. Very stable, elliptical (oval) orbit, warmer twice every local year.

Atmosphere: Standard Oxygen/Nitrogen with significant ozone component in stratosphere.

Oceans: 20%

Gravity: 100%

Feeding Habits: Omnivore

Lifespan: 150 years

Technology: 9

Culture: Enlightened, truly kind race with little violence or hatefulness. Primitive Cerebrocrustaceans took advantage of the storms surrounding the Encephalonus planets and it in turn resulted in the destruction (by using up all resources) of the planets from Encephalonus to Encephalonus III. By the time they arrived at Encephalonus IV, Cerebrocrustaceans had evolved in order to create electricity instead of taking it away from the environment. Modern Cerebrocrustaceans are deeply ashamed of their ancestors being responsible for the destruction of Encephalonus and the two other planets in their solar system.
