Gloosh

The Gloosh are a secretive and fearful species of sloth like tree-dwelling cephalopods. They are very slow and usually only feed on leaves, but will eat bugs if they come close enough to their mouths.

Biology

History

The Gloosh lived on the planet Noma until they were visited by a small hairy alien species known as the Crhrtany. The Crhtany were inexperienced with making contact with new species however and spread their diseases to the Gloosh, killing many and destroying their planet's forests. The Crhtany took pity on the Gloosh and gave them ships, leading them to a new planet, Annwn. However they were sadly wiped out by an unknown force, leaving the Gloosh alone. The Gloosh soon discovered powerful cloaking technology on a nearby world and used it to hide their ships, protecting them from the predators they feared.

Society and Culture

The Gloosh are prey, they know this, and hate this. They are afraid of nearly every being they encounter. They did not have much in the way of society before the arrival of Crhrtany, as the Gloosh hate effort. They often lack the motivation to do the most basic of tasks. They place a lot of emphasis on their dangling and flopping, stating that it is their way of existence.
