Skaraan

Three-legged, hunchbacked, one-eyed, and bizarre to Terran sensibilities, the Skaaran as a species are not known for their skill as melee combatants. They more than make up for this with highly advanced spacecraft propulsion, shielding, and weapon systems (among others). When truly threatened, they can secrete jets of acid to harm enemies.

In spite of their unapproachable appearance, Skaaran are the galaxy’s businessmen and the inventors of the Universal Translator, leveraging their advanced technological secrets for wealth, power, and alliances. They pragmatically honor contracts but often work behind the scenes to ensure they come out ahead in the end. Many species have been suckered into deals with the Skaaran that they later regretted.

Special Powers: Projectile Attack

Special Weaknesses: Three-Legged, One-Eyed

Style Guide: A tall pair of pants with an extra leg, worn with the waist over one shoulder, the “third-leg” holding the cane/crutch in the extra leg. Pillow or other device tucked into the shoulder area to demonstrate hunched back. Eyepatch or hood that leaves only one eye uncovered.
