Description
Many breeds of engineered races were created to live on planets by the sophonts of the Zar megaring. Above are two species decended from a common ancestor. That ancestor was the daggerwrist. Before they became sentient on the Zar, the micro-g daggerwrist species developed a symbiotic relationship with an amoebic species. The amoeba would cover the body and provide insulation and extra tool useage, while the body privides the amoeba with nurishment by constantly shedding skin cells.
The flying sophonts are dregnauts. The two symbiots have become one in this race. The amoeba fuses with stemcells along specialized areas of the body and shares the nervous system. Much of the wing structure, as well as the gills, suckers, and mouth on the "back" are manifestations of the amoebic remnents. The dregnauts are acually upsidedown by their ancestoral standards.
The sylee has gone to the other extreame. The amoeba has absorbed the body's nervous system and its thinking ability. The body is now a spindly, embryo-like figure. What used to be the lower armored mandible is now a beak with houses the body so the being can slip through any place big enough for the beak.

In the scene above, two dregnauts play musical wind instraments on the wing while a sylee friend listens atop an antigravity craft. The small plane in the background is pioleted by a trasapient guinue pig aquantence.
