Gogleskan

The Gogleskans were a sentient species with the physiological classification FOKT.

They resembled large, dumpy cactus-like plants whose spikes and hair were richly colored. Hair and spikes covered the erect, ovoid body are less irregular in their size and placing than is at first apparent. The body hair had mobility, though not the high degree of Kelgian fur, and the spikes, some of which were extremely flexible and grouped together to form a digital cluster, gave evidence of specialization. Other spikes were longer and stiffer, and some of them partially atrophied.

There were also a number of long, pale tendrils lying amid the multicolored hair covering the cranial area, used for contact telepathy. The voice seemed to come from a number of small, vertical breathing orifices which encircled the waist.

Gogleskans sat on a flat, muscular pad, and had four stubby and concertina-like legs which increased the total height by several inches. The beings also had two additional eyes at the back of their head. They emitted a faint smell, a combination of musk and peppermint. ("Star Healer")
