Terebellum Tripod

The Patreon campaign for Fapp: Hyper Space is underway!

Remaining one of the few sapient species in  the known galaxy to stay independent of Consortium influence, the  beautiful bombshells native to the distant system of Terebellum have  carved out a peaceful refuge for themselves amongst the stars. Having  long since fully colonized their home system, the advanced species now  largely lives in harmony, exploring space both outer and inner as they  make great strides in debating philosophy at home and xenobiology  abroad. Though accomplished as a species, individual Terebellums are  prone to fits of hyper-focus towards a single subject and forgetfulness  regarding all others, especially when aroused.

Though their species is fully capable of reproducing with one another,  the tripods enjoy indulging in the unique anatomies of other species.  These hermaphroditic creatures produce and fertilize their own eggs  asexually, storing them as additional testicles until they discover a  mate they wish to incubate the egg within. Their instincts guide them to  seek out unique and exotic mates for this purpose, typically only  depositing a single egg in each, after which the thin membrane of the  egg will absorb a portion of the host’s DNA to incorporate into itself  while growing within them.

Because of their unique method of conception, Terebellums lack vaginas,  instead incubating eggs in their anal cavities when procreating with one  another.  Since they are so much taller than most other sapient  species, they tend to find others quite cute and will dote upon them as  they attempt to woo them into mating and housing their eggs.

Though possessed of limited psychic capabilities, Terebellums can only  pass simple messages this way, often communicating simple emotions or  reactions to accompany their speech. Their long, extremely flexible  tongues afford their native language a large number of sounds many  species are not capable of, and because the muscles that allow them to  extend their tongues so far are rooted so close to their gonads, their  tongues have evolved into erogenous organs that they simply love to  employ in romantic encounters.

Because Terebellums rely partially on photosynthesis, they find clothing  to be excessively stuffy and uncomfortable, and are almost exclusively  Nudists. They’re prone to forgetting other species’ clothing preferences  and hurriedly stripping them bare to let the poor things air out and  ‘breathe’ better.
