Nleej

The nleej are an underwater jellyfish-like species. This doesn't mean that they have no brain, nor does that mean they can shock things into submission. It does mean that they can't go on land without a special suit, though.

Profile

Nleeg.png

Name: Nleej (Singular – Nleej)
Home Planet: Quodela
Known For: Living underwater, Male pregnancies
General Life Span: Around 90 years
General Height: Somewhat taller than average human height, but not as tall as the Kalrykkians are
General Weight: Pretty light

Description: There is a picture of a female nleej to the right. Their head operates like a hinge, allowing them to open their mouth and have the top of their head go back like an open container. Females have bodies with wavier edges while males have less wavy edges on their bodies (though the exact waviness of the edges varies slightly between individuals). The males’ heads may have more rounded edges than females’ heads, but I’m not sure of this.

Possible Skin Colors: Common colors are blue, pink, orange, yellow, and green (and combinations of those colors). Other colors exist but are more uncommon. A rare few are even transparent, although this is a skin disorder.

Species Type: Jellyfish, even though they don’t have stingers
Skeletal Type: Invertebrate

Friends (Generally): Eyguros
Enemies (Generally): Unknown

Home Planet Info: Quodela has some pretty huge oceans which cover most of the planet. There are some (usually sandy) continents, although the nleej rarely spend time on them.

Spoken Language: Galactic Standard (Others unknown at this point)
Written Language: Galactic Standard (Others unknown at this point)
Miscellaneous Language: Their hue reflects how well or badly they’re feeling at the moment. The lighter the hue, the better they’re feeling. This doesn’t show exactly what they’re feeling, though.

Strengths:

  • Can see in 360 degrees around themselves
  • Since they live in water, they’re really great swimmers
  • Can survive for a little bit without their head
  • Their mouth can act as a vacuum
  • Have multiple arms and legs

Weaknesses:

  • They can’t function (or even breathe) on land without special equipment
  • They can’t hide how well they’re feeling
  • Their body and the organ sacs it contains are at least somewhat fragile

Likes (Generally): Unknown
Dislikes (Generally): Large food items
Fears (Generally): Being stuck on land

History:
Unknown

Other Info:
Organs – Their organs are contained in sacs inside of their body. This includes their stomach and their brain. Their uterus-like pouches are probably also sacs.

Eating – They eat by opening their mouths and sucking in tiny organisms. They don’t often eat things much bigger than that.

Movement – They move by opening and closing the bottom part of their body.

Pregnancy – The male nleej get pregnant instead of the female nleej. The females create the eggs, but they deposit the eggs into a special pouch (which functions as a uterus) in the males until they can survive outside. Then, the pouch expels the eggs. This pouch is very small until it has the eggs. The females probably have a similar but slightly different pouch that they use to create the eggs and deposit them. The pouch may be considered private, although I’m not sure of that.
