Species:
Qwuelehl
(Kweh-lel)
Other Names:
Spring-tails

About Languages
Qwuelehl can often speak many languages—even if some of it is broken. They appear throughout a multitude of cultures and thus bring influences to others of their kind.

Physiology:
Qwuelehl are lemur/cat like creatures with large tails and feet. They are very acrobatic.
Average Height Range: 4’0’’ – 5’8’’

Detailed View:
Qwuelehl have a fairly basic body shape with semi short legs and rather large, flattish feet. Fur covers their bodies and they possess two sets of sensors. One set rests atop their head, appearing as antennae and the other set sprouts from their back in a curly, thin line. The head sensors each have a round eye pattern, this eye is not functional. The head sensors glow mildly.

The tail of the Qwuelehl is one of their most distinguishing features. This tail is powerful and sturdy; it’s also amazingly poofy and luxurious. The tail should be at least the same length as the Qwuelehl’s entire body, but most often is longer than this. The fluff of the tail makes it look even bigger than its already impressive size.

Qwuelehl use their tails for balance, but more commonly seen, to bounce on. The sturdy tail of the Qwuelehl can support its full body weight. They are often seen hopping about on their tail as opposed to walking. They do tend to bounce/hop when walking on their feet as well though. They are generally just said to have a bit of a spring to their step.

The sclera of the eye can be most any color (although not black/any dark color.)They usually are bright and vibrant—a lighter shade of the pupil color. Qwuelehl all look fairly similar. Their tails always have rings of white and another color. Their bodies will usually be one main color with a skull-like mask of white on the face and perhaps a few rings of color here or there. Some may have a darker color along their backs or even stripes. Qwuelehl have been observed with non-natural looking markings as well.

Qwuelehl have stubby, slightly rounded ears. Their ears are not as flexible those of the Qwuedeviv, thus they usually stay fixed in their permanent location. Qwuelehl may move their sensors freely though.

Qwuelehl have two genders, male and female as many of the other species, it is not particularly easy to tell the difference between them. They all look like bouncing balls of fluff.

Senses: (As comparable to a Human)

Sight: Average

Hearing: Above average; Those ears may be little but they’re sensitive.

Touch: Excellent; They’re curious like the Qwuedeviv and like to explore by touching stuff.

Taste: Average

Smell: Average

Diet: Fruit, fruit and more fruit! Qwuelehl love fruit more than any other food. Their diet, if they have it their way, consists mostly of fruit and maybe a few veggies. They aren’t too big on meat, but may nibble on it out of curiosity. Qwuelehl have a serious sweet tooth. Candy is not safe around the little savages. They are not ‘savage’ in nature, but many a traveler who has been accompanied by one can attest to the fact they will find and take all the candy and devour it in record timing. Sweets are simply not safe around a Qwuelehl.

Qwuelehl Varieties:
Although they don’t have true regional varieties or anything, they are classified by the type of mask pattern they have; Mask, Invert Mask and the genetic defect of Maskless.

The names are self explanatory. Masked Qwuelehl are those who have the white mask pattern fur on the face. Invert mask have a dark mask on their face instead. Maskless have no mask at all and their face fur is rather the same as the rest of their body.

Natural Defenses:
Flexibility: These little guys are tough to really hurt. They’re flexible and limber to an extreme. Chances are they’ll recover from all sorts of nasty falls.

Jumping: Qwuelehl are amazing when it comes to jumping, they can spring straight up into the air, often finding something to cling to out of reach of other species.

Kicking: Although not violent creatures, a Qwuelehl may balance on its tail and use its feet to kick whatever threatens it. Qwuelehl may be cute and fluffy but their feet are actually pretty damaging.

Species Abilities:
No special powers or elemental ability. The Qwuelehl are good illusionist though.

Qwuelehl ‘weakpoints’
Their curiosity is really their main weak point. Qwuelehls’ curiosity will get them sidetracked of the threats at hand.

Psychology:
Family: Most Qwuelehl consider whoever they are traveling with to be their family. They’re a very adoptive species, welcoming others to join their family. Bloodlines do not mean much to them. In fact, a Qwuelehl may not even consider its blood relatives to be family. Once family had been decided upon, they are tremendously loyal to said individuals.

Community: Qwuelehl have a very diverse community. Those who remain on planet are still known for their entertainment focused culture. Qwuelehl are always looking for the latest thing to wow people with, whether a physical show or flashy tech and effects. The cities where they are the prominent species have a tendency towards extravagance in appearance and are home of the vastest selection of entertainment. Their cities are basically party central with all the latest developments. Other creatures come from afar to tour Qwuelehl cities and the Qwuelehl are always more than happy to show off.

It is important to note that although they enjoy showing off their skill and ability, the species has a reputation of being humble/down to earth. They aren’t egotistical, rude individuals that see themselves as above others like the Qwuedezoa are. Rather they see themselves and others all as equals.

Government: Their species is like a people group within a country, thus they do not have their own personal government. They participate in the Council of Qwuedaanjj and otherwise abide by and may partake in (if allowed) the government of wherever it is they are a resident of. Qwuelehl have a reputation of not being heavily involved with or interested in the government decisions though.

Culture: Qwuelehl enjoy entertaining others by making them laugh and bringing happiness to all. Granted not all of their species is like this, but a large majority of them are known to be intergalactic entertainers, traveling around in acrobatic cirques and circuses alike. Qwuelehl love to travel and tour various galaxies. They are always up for an adventure and can be found on a multitude of planets. Their culture is largely mixed with that of others they have adopted along their various travels.

Circus and Acrobatics aside, Qwuelehl are also noted for their digital entertainment developments both with sound and visuals. They produce a lot of movies and music as well.

Etiquette and Mannerisms:
Qwuelehl aren’t known to be the most polite species around. Their honest nature and blunt curiosity tends to make them forget some of the social graces. They are known for asking rather awkward questions and invading personal space routinely.

Qwuelehl do not like a lot of silence, in fact if there is a gap of silence a Qwuelehl will begin chattering to fill it. This can become tiresome and annoying to others species who aren’t as busy minded as the Qwuelehl.

Clothing: Anything not too restricting but also not constantly in the way of their bouncing about.

Names: Depends on where they were born and raised. Since their culture is so intermingled with others they have no real standard in names. They do enjoy titles of various sorts though. [Name goes here] the Great, [Name goes here]the Silver Ringed, etc.

Relationship With Other Species:
Friendly! Qwuelehl get along with most anyone unless you give them a reason not to. They’re very curious of other species and really enjoy touching and interacting with everything they come across—whether it wants to be or not.
