Ceraneans

Overview
Ceraneans are hexapedal, dual brained sentient lifeforms that call an ocean planet their homeworld. Living on rocky, mountainous outcrops that jut from their world's oceans, and occasionally in underwater habitats, this species thrives in moist and windswept environments. They are technologically inclined, putting their brain power to use in unconventional ways, usually creating organic but highly robust and functional machinery, particularly focusing on drone technology.

Anatomical Details
A hallmark of Ceranean biology is that they have two brains that can operate perfectly asynchronously. Both brains communicate with one another and form the semblance of a solitary identity but a Ceranean will happily commence multiple complex activities simultaneously, something that ordinary humans could not hope to compete against. Ceraneans will often be seen putting this unique brain architecture to work by devoting one of their two brain partitions towards the piloting of one or multiple drones, depending on complexity. Most Ceranean vehicles and machines are operated this way.

Ceraneans have six major limbs with an auxiliary pair of smaller, arm-like limbs that rest under their head, much like a pair of mandibles. All of their limbs and digits are extremely dexterous and surprisingly strong, Ceraneans have been observed to walk up shear cliff faces and other walls much like spiders might.

They have ten eyes in total, four of which being large and highly developed, with six remaining that are relatively small and better suited towards picking up motion, attributing excellent peripheral vision to their kind.

Ceranean flesh is usually of a slightly blue tint, appearing rather similar to human skin at first glance, closer examination reveals that their skin is slightly more delicate and thin compared to a humans, and dries out fairly easily in arid conditions, much as an Earth amphibian's might, thusly they almost always feel clammy to the touch. ceraneans are warm blooded though their bodies operate at a slightly cooler temperature than a human's might.

A Ceranean usually stands slightly taller than a human would, but occupies a much wider space and often weighs more on account of their many limbs. They have a Gaster shaped segment towards their posterior section that primarily hosts reproductive organs.

Ceraneans have no recognizable mouth, equipped only with a proboscis, they usually communicate via clicks, buzzes, or whistles. Their diet naturally consists mostly of their world's analog of tidepool prey, shellfish, fish, and kelp or other acquatic vegetation. They eat by poking prey or produce items, injecting them with digestive enzymes before slurping up what nutrient cocktail is created.

Ceranean blood is blue due to hemocyanin based metalloproteins. They are more suited to cold environments with a lower oxygen density compared to human habitats.
