Yulfs

The Yulf are a race known for their speed and cunning. The Kalsiksi make sport of hunting them for their furs, which are the softest and warmest in the galaxy.

The skin of a Yulf, on a microscopic level, appears as offset octagonal layers that make it nearly impenetrable when pulled tight across their tensed muscles, but is tender when they are relaxed.

Because of this, the only Kalsiksi to succesfully hurt them are those who have followed them to their dens and attacked them while they were sleeping.

The height of a typical male Yulf is two yeters, while a female Yulf can grow as large as 5 yeters, though these Yulf Queens are rare. The average female Yulf is three to four yeters in height.

The Yulf live in tribes, and are nomadic in nature, foraging for their vittles and planting wherever they go to support themselves and other Yulf tribes.

Though the Yulf have not developed interstellar travel technology for themselves, they are sentient and some have joined various ship crews that have visited their planet.

Every Yulf knows that by leaving their planet and their tribe, they put themselves in danger of being attacked by strange beings who desire their flesh,

so many never leave their home planet (which they do not have a name for, but simply call the Yorest).
