[edit] Introduction
This article details the race, Auyuelcliad. For information regarding any nation or political body representing said race see, A List of Auyuelcliadic Nations.
The Auyuelcliads. (Prounced: Ar-you-el-clee-ads) The Auyuelcliads originate on Banaqaq, a desert world in the Kinta Kurush system. Banaqaq is a very harsh planet, and life there is very harsh. The surface is almost exclusivley desert and rock, and the planet is very, very large. Due to it's close proximity to Topai Dhurban, the nearby sun, temperatures on Banaqaq are very, very high.
The Auyuelcliads are well-adapted to this environment. To deal with the constant absence of drinkable water, The Auyuelcliad has evolved a large snout, which can take in the vapour in the air caused by constant evaporation and take it for sustenance. The Auyuelcliad is primarily a carnivore, but can live on vegetable matter if required. To hunt, the Auyuelcliad uses it's eyes to scan the flat surface of Banaqaq, to detect the movement of Serelites or other prey. It's eyes have thin layer of skin across them to protect them from sandstorms. It generally uses it's strength to break the neck of, or bludegeon, an animal to death, but occasionally strangulation with the tentacles is employed, but causes significant discomfort to the Auyuelcliad due to thier skeletal structure not being designed for thier tentacles to go above waist height. The Auyuelcliads are sapient and, in fact, are a very advanced race in the Spore Universe. Auyuelcliads find water repulsive, and hate feeling wet, as it feels totally unnatural to them, as well as a large amount of the species being Argentaphobic.
Many misconceptions about Auyuelcliads exist. Thier tentacles, despite myths, are not slimy, but in fact very dry and scaly. They can not drink. They are not killed if thier blood comes into contact with silver. They are not related to The Caltarin, Draani or the Rapaxeon races.
