FROON

PHYSIOLOGY
Although Froon are capable of communicating vocally, they prefer, when  communicating to one another, to "talk" tactilly with their facial suckers intertwined.

HISTORY
Commonly mistaken as pets by other races, the Froon are a sentient species. Although they are a primitve race, some have made their way across the galaxy by stowing away on freighters or taken as pets and slaves by other races.
