bipedal with two arms and two legs which are long and flexible
taller and generally lighter than humans
not very muscular
long fingers and toes
soil colored skin

Genetics and Reproduction
both genders "lay eggs," but two quarzyls must make one complete "egg" together; incubated in plant matter for 3 (Earth) months, hatch and eat plant matter; one egg at a time, a couple can lay up to fifteen eggs per lifetime
life-giving abilities are inherited and genetic

mature at 15 (Irqulnirn) years, couple with another quarzyl generally within two (Irqulnirn) years -- bisexual species, not particularly social, don't prefer isolation, like living in groups of 10-20 quarzyls
Additional Information
Social Structure
one parent keeps house while the other makes money, keeping house includes gardening, children go to schools centering around applicable life skills from very a young age
based on lifespan of ancestors, then skin color, and then mastery of life-giving abilities

Only found on Irqulnirn
Perception and Sensory Capabilities
nurturing plants and soil, creating life (plants, in most cases, but more rarely animals) from other non-living things, and sustaining and prolonging life -- this is how Irqulnirn is able to support life while having such distance from N'Zembe
sight, hearing, taste, and touch are "regular"
smell is very heightened, have awareness of the lifeforms around them based on scent

80-150 Irqulnirn years
Average Height
6'2" - 8'
