These are the 3!, of iUniverse...

3! are a race of small, quick sophonts from Galaxy135. Their species originated from the planet 369; a small world orbiting a somewhat larger terrestrial. Although their postision of rank in their home galaxy is somewhat disappointing to them, they have proven to be more tolerant than they first appeared.
The average baseline 3! stands about 2.7 feet high. Evolved from hexalateraly symetrical starfish-like creatures, they are now tetrapods. Four limbs have become ambulatory organs, while the other two have assumed postions as head and tail. The cephalon is divided into two units. The lower unit serves as a beak-like mouth. This beak is equiped with sensitive electroreceptors, useful tools in locating hidden prey, or in moden times, inspecting their own technology. The upper unit contains a high-functioning ganglia, paired nostrils, and highly developed hems. Heming is a sense which incoorporates electromagnetism as sound. The 3! have no eyes or ears. Thir entire bodies are also extreamly sensitive to vibrations, especially their hands and feet. The hands and feet of 3! are really quite interesting themselves. 3! possess ball-socket joints at the wrists and ankles. This allows their hands and feet to spin in indefinite circles. The forearms of 3! also serve specialized fnctions. Large, poisonous quills (now usually clipped in modern society) provide protection. There is also a row of enzyme-producing glands which have an affect on their skin. The creamy substance drys their skin into a watertight covering. 3! are amphibious beings withnaturally moist skin. They are born as totally aquatic larvae with jointed, paddle-like fins. 3! are warm-blooded entities with active habits. They are excellent swimmers and can move quikly on land by hopping. Their primary method of movement includes running across the surface of water with very rapid spin-cycles of their feet, and running motions of their legs. Creatures who constructed dams and various specialized structures upon the surface in prehistory, their modern architecture is always diluted in water. They also still preffer live prey, as it appeals to their electical sense. 3! communicate trough vibrational body langage, and through EMPs sent through a battery-like brain.
Due to their method of communication, their technology is not so advanced in electronics. Nevertheless, they are highly skilled in optics, ceramics, and intricate machines powered by seft-regulating systems or chemicals. Virtually all their thought-processes are derived from what humans would call math. Thier mathematical minds may have originated from inbuilt reflexes of movements and their need to construct proper homes and detect food. Every aspect of their lives is governed by some equation, formula, theorem, or system designed to eventually sum to perfection. Each individual 3! has his or her own unique perspective and interpretation of some form of 'wierd math,' (called so because humans fail to see how many of their systems are related to mathematics).
An ignorant 3! would call any speciesthat does not possess such highly developed senses of math inferior. Many 3! were ignorant ten, at the dawn of the nexxus. 3! happen to share their home galaxy with one other sophont race, the nthd'iy. Nthd'iy are an ammonia-based race whose cognitive abilities are, to put it lightly, not one of their most outstanding atributes. The average nthd'iy can barely understand addition, subtraction, division, and multiplication. And yet, as they had been a stable and peaceful spaecies for millions of years, they were far superior to the 3! at first contact with the nexxus. The nthd'iy's especially peaceful and accepting ways made them the first of the two races to be quallified as a liberated race, while the 3!, having only advanced to a single global civilization at the arrival of the nexxus, were not deemed ready to interact with other sophonts for many years. Many nthd'iy were even assigned as overseers of 3! worlds. The neosapiens eventually proved a theorem to convince the 3! of their needed friendship with nthd'iy, as well as other mathematically-challenged sophonts. Most 3! today feel a respectful/rueful awe towards their closesed neighbors.
