Oun-Gon-Ra Overview

Heres something that I've had in mind for a long time. The native sophonts of Snaiad--the oun-gon-ra. I know NR made Snaiad with no sentient life, but I've always wondered...

For those who don't know Snaiadi morphology, they have two heads (first for reproduction, second for eating), hydraulic muscles, and nostrils under the armpits.

The oun-gon-ra are believed to have evolved from a distant ancestor which branched off from the line leading to heterostomes. Their genital-sheath "jaws" are greatly reduced, and the tentecles on their first head are derived from genital muscles. They now have four nostrils. The large nostrils on their sides branched off to serve in effective communication. Oun-Gon-Ra can alter the surface temperature of certain areas of their bodies for subtle communication as well. They can also send vibrations through the ground to communicate over long distances. Their language is beautiful to the point of being hypnotic to humans because they speak in stereo. They use tentecles on their first and second heads for tool manipulation.

The individual shown here is a male waving his exrended genitals in polite greeting.
