Chelonian

The Chelonians are a race of large, bulky, turtle-like humanoids. Though only coming up to a human's waist, they are far wider and usually heavily built. They have four limbs, each with opposable digits and blunt claws. They have a sharp beak and a hard cranial plate in front of their brains. They are long-lived creatures, usually living for more then 100 years. They also smell of leather. Chelonians are herbivores and eat flowers and seeds, and as such try to live on verdant planets where such plants can grow. Chelonians generally have many cybernetic upgrades which can give them such abilties as improved vision.

The Chelonians are an aggressive and expansionist race, though this had slowed down by the end of the Humanian Era. They used special blocks which can be reconfigured from spaceships to buildings.
