Jorgall

The Jorgall were radially symmetrical with three arms and legs, scaly and horned skin, and an egg-shaped head with fleshy notches for mouths and noses atop an extensible neck. The nervous system was centralized in the torso and their circulatory systems pumped foul-smelling crimson blood. A mature adult stood 4.5 metres tall. All Jorgalli encountered had extensive cybernetic augmentation including wheels for feet, claws for hands, teleoptic cameras in place of eyes, subdermal armour, or implanted needler weapons. A group encountered by the Death Guard had two legs replaced with wings. The children of the race possess psychic abilities, which may be lost once they reach adulthood. The Jorgall were an insectoid species that lived hive like societies, with all different members showing different anatomy depending on their role in the colony. Usually the adults could reach a height around 4.5m tall, though that varied. They were born with three arms and three legs, scaly skin and with brains inside their torsos and not their heads. The atmosphere of their ships was composed primarily by chlorinated compounds, which suggested they breathed chlorine instead of oxygen. They frequently showed different augmetics, once again, designed to fulfill a particular role within the colony. Some of them could even develop psychic abilities, though whether their hive behaviour was psychic-based or pheromone-based is up to speculation. Their reproduction was similar to that of ants or termites, with a Jorgall queen dedicated to egg production.
