Kelgian

The Kelgians were a sentient species from the planet Kelgia, and one of the most common species in Sector Twelve General Hospital. Their physiological classification was DBLF.

Overall, they resembles 5–6 foot-long furry Earth caterpillars whose fur was constantly rippling in various patterns. The motion of the fur was a completely accurate guide to what it was feeling, and necessary for communication within the species itself. This trait made the Kelgians completely incapable of any form of untruth; they actually never developed the concepts of being diplomatic, lying, or politeness.

Requirements
Kelgians, as indicated by the first letter "D" of their classification, were oxygen breathers whose normal gravity approximates the standard gravity of Earth. Their native atmosphere was an oxygen-nitrogen combination very much like that of Earth.

They were herbivores, eating plants (such as crelletin vine shoots) by putting their face inside of the bowl.

They slept in an "S" or a question mark pose in zero-gravity or, in regular gravity, on a bed.

Physiology
Kelgians were about 5–6 feet long once they reached maturity, and walked and lied horizontally, although they could temporarily stand up on their rearmost four legs, at which point they were at eye level with average Earth-humans. They had four extendable eye-stalks which could turn to give a 360° view of their surroundings.

They had no neck or skeleton, due to an immense and highly vulnerable cardiovascular system with two hearts and many thin-walled blood vessels near the surface. This, combined with high pressure and a high pulse rate, made cuts very dangerous; a Kelgian could bleed to death from a minor injury if not controlled. The skin was thick, and they had two mouths, one for the digestive system and one for the respiratory system.

A Kelgian female conceived once in her lifetime, producing two offspring of each gender. Their speech sounded like a series of hoots and whines to human ears.

Their fur, which was always in motion, was a perfect and uncontrollable mirror to their emotional state, and gave emotional context to the voice, which by itself had no emotion in it. They highly valued their fur, as it was very important to their pre-marriage proposals and allowed them to speak properly – doctors operating on them will try to remove as little fur as possible.
