{{Species | The '''Kortesians''' are a unique myco-humanoid species native to the forested planet [[Myrkflora]]. Resembling mushrooms with humanoid bodies, Kortesians stand no taller than one foot and display a dazzling array of colors, from violet and lavender to mustard yellow and turquoise. Their glowing spore patches and multifaceted eyes further add to their ethereal appearance. | ||
For centuries, it was believed that the mushroom cap was a parasitic organism controlling the humanoid body. However, in-depth studies have revealed that the Kortesians are fully integrated beings, with the cap and body functioning as a unified organism. | |||
Kortesians are peaceful explorers, highly fond of space travel and alien forest ecosystems. Their non-aggressive, scavenger lifestyle has made them respected and welcomed by most galactic civilizations.{{Species | |||
