damage other than by complete annihilation or application of ultrahigh
temperatures.The concept of curative surgery would be a strange one indeed to
members of that race. They do not require mechanisms for self-protection, so
they are likely to be advanced in the philosophical sciences but back-ward in
developing technology. When not trying to look like something else, TOBSs take
the configuration of a large, dark-green, uneven ball.

Species:Name Unknown
No Individual Names Known
The TRLH casualty was an ally of the Empire during that war.
Classification was aided by the fact that the patient's spacesuit was
transparent as well as flexible. The atmosphere the being breathes is as
exotic as that of the QCQLs, but can be reproduced. The TRLH has a thin
carapace which covers its back and curves down and inwards to protect the
central area of its underside. Four thick, single-jointed legs project from
the uncovered sections.
It has a large but lightly boned head, four manipulatory appendages, two
recessed but extensible eyes, and two mouths.
Classification:VTXM
Planet:Telf
Species:Telfi, Telphi
Individual:Astrogator-part Cheixic
A group-mind species whose small beetle-like bodies live by the direct
conversion of various combinations and intensities of hard radiation.
Mthough individually the beings are quite stupid, the gestalt entities are
highly intelligent. The Telfi operate in groups as contact telepaths to pool
their mental and physical abilities. The Telfi have a spoken language as well
as the telepathic faculty used between individuals, especially members of a
family gestalt. Another variant of the species resembles a large, terrestrial
lizard, just under five feet long from the bulbous head to vestigial tail,
with an extra set of forelimbs growing from the base of the neck. The only
visible features are two tiny, lidless eyes and the mouth. The four stubby
walking limbs can be bent double to lie flat against the body while the two,
longer forward manipulators can stretch forward and cross so as to allow the
chin to rest on the crossover point. The skin of a dead Telfi is pale gray
with a mottled and veined effect that resembles unpolished marble. The color
is a symptom of advanced radiation starvation and a lethal failure of the
absorption mechanism.
A healthy Telfi reflects no light at all, looking like liz-ard-shaped black
holes. A healthyTelfi's temperature is below room temperature. Investigating
their ultra-hot metabolism closely is to risk radiation poisoning. There is a
fallacy among non-medics that the Telfi cannot be closely approached or
touched without the use of remotely controlled manipulators. To live they must
absorb the radiation normally provided by their natural environment but when,
for clinical reasons, the radiation is withdrawn for several days and they are
week from their equivalent of hunger, their radioactive emissions drop to a
harmless level.
Classification:VUXG
Planet:Unknown
Species:Name Unknown
Individual:Dr. Arretapec
The VUXG resembles nothing so much as a withered prune float-mg in a spherical
gob of syrup. The species has telepathic, teleportive, and~sort of
precognitive abilities. The precognitive ability does not appear to be of much
use because it does not work with individuals but only with populations, and
so far in the future and in such a haphazard manner that it is practically
useless.
Classification:Unknown
Planet:Drambo
Species:Farmer Fish
No Individual Names Known
The large-headed Farmer Fish are responsible for cultivating and protecting
benign growth and destroying all other growth in the Drambon Strata
Creature. Farmer Fish have stubby arms sprout-ing from the base of their
enlarged heads.

Classification:Unknown
Planet:Drambo
Species:Strata Creatures
No Individual Names Known
The largest creature on the planet Drambo~so large that at a scoutship's
suborbital velocity of six thousand plus miles per hour it takes just over
nine minutes to travel from one side of the patient to the other. The creature
is so vast that it has many independent parts performing specialized
functions, such as the eye plants, air renewal plants, Farmer Fish, Thought
Controlled Tools, and vegetable teeth. The parts can communicate via a
mineral-
rich sap. The creature uses water instead of blood as its working fluid. It is
not clear if the entire creature is an animal or a plant, there being
components of both in its immense expanse. There is only one intelligent
Strata Creature on
Drambo, and it is being treated for radiation poisoning.
