Galvan

 

Species Name: Galvan

Type: Humanoid Frog

Physical Traits: The Galvan are an amphibious, insectivorous species from the planet Galvan Prime, until it was destroyed and they rebuilt it, renaming it Galvan Mark II. The Galvan are a species of small bipedal frog-like amphibians. Their bodies consist of soft and flexible bones, allowing them to squeeze into tight spaces or quickly escape from danger. The Galvan have large, bulbous, green eyes with thin lines for pupils. Unlike humans, Galvan eyelids close horizontally and from both sides of the eye. Female Galvan grow thin tendrils on their head. Male Galvan don't until they are adults. The Galvan are naturally extremely intelligent, and can enter complex machines and operate them from the inside. This allows them to understand and operate virtually any machine, even if they've never seen it before. Their intelligence also allows them to understand intricate codes and languages.
When the situation requires it, the Galvan are able to jury-rig or improvise weapons and emergency repairs, using whatever materials that they have on hand, like loose change, belt buckles, shoelaces, etc. With the microscopic pads that cover their bodies, the Galvan can stick to almost any surface. Their slime makes them equally difficult to grab. Not built for combat, the Galvan can evade and outsmart their enemies, rather than fight them head on. The Galvan have teeth sharp enough to produce a painful bite. Similar to frogs, the Galvan have long sticky tongues which they use to capture insects for food. They also have gills and are amphibious. A Galvans' main brain has the appearance of a glowing green sphere, which is able to survive completely separate from their body and speak. In For a Few Brains More, Max and Rook explain that Galvans also possess a pre-brain, which handles basic bodily functions, much like the medulla oblongata does for the human brain. However, this pre-brain is simplistic and childish.

The Galvan are the creators of much of the great technology and made many discoveries in the universe, such as:
Potis Altiare
Ascalon
Omnitrix
Unitrix
Prototype Omnitrix
Ultimatrix
Galvanic Mechamorphs
Null Guardians
The Null Void
Anti-Gravity Projector
Primus
Voliticus Biopsis
Universal Translators
Mechamorph Armour
Rebuilt Galvan Prime
Proto-Tool
Proto-Tech Armour
Galvan Jetpack
Life-Form Lock Microchip
Shrink Ray
Galvanian Skeuomorph 

Height: 2 ft

Weight: 180 lbs

Mobility: Legs

Sensory Organs: Visual

Communication: Vocal

Reproduction: Egg, Infant Galvan look like tadpoles; they have tails and lack legs, but they grow legs and shed their tails at a time they call "wisdom feet".

INT: 5D6, WIS: 5D6, STR: 3D6, DEX: 3D6, CON: 3D6, CHA: 3D6, MR: 3D6, HPs: CON +D4

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

Atmosphere: Standard

Oceans: 60%

Gravity: 100%

Feeding Habits: Insect

Lifespan: 4000 years

Technology: 10

Culture: Enlightened, truly kind race with little violence or hatefulness. The Galvan originally had no empire to speak of, instead they were first being kept as pets and then employed by other species as industrial technicians, spies, and saboteurs once their intelligence became known. The Galvan were smart enough to keep the best secrets for themselves, eventually amassing enough knowledge to build a powerful empire of their own, based on the technology that they kept from the rest of the universe.
