Sljee are low, slab-shaped, multi-tentacled aliens from the planet Sljee. While vision is the prime sense of humans and many other humanoid species, the Sljee rely on their sense of smell; they have several antennae called olfactory stalks.
Sljee are attentive and curious aliens, often bewildered by the strange smells found elsewhere in the galaxy. As a communal species, they often live in groups when away from their homeworld. The beings are having difficulties integrating into galactic society since they cannot tell apart different beings - they even have trouble distinguishing different species. Their olfactory stalks are geared to a very specific range of scents, focusing around identifying other Sljee and food sources from their world. The unfamiliar scents of strange planets and beings are overwhelming to them.
Their homeworld is one where species live by scent: being able to track other creatures is the key to successful hunting and being able to disguise one's scent is the key to survival. Sljee have developed a number of technologies including, naturally, scent-based communication. |
