Homo Udakan

Udakan Valkai is the native home of numerous extraterrestrial primates, including orders that resemble Lemuriformes and Haplorhini. The dominant, most technologically-advanced beings belong to the genus Homo Udakan. These Udakan humans equal Homo sapiens in intelligence but perhaps more closely physically resemble Homo heidelbergensis, Homo neanderthalensis, and/or Homo antecessor. Their muscular, robust bodies have comparatively wider hips, shorter limbs, and barrel chests. Their faces are longer from top to bottom, but, like Homo sapiens, they have chins and their cheekbones curve as they merge into the upper jaw. While they have four fewer teeth than their Homo sapien counterparts, their teeth are larger and their jaws project farther outwards. Most strikingly different is the dark-hued sclera of Homo udakan and tannish grey skin color, much like a hairless chimp. Natural variation of sclera includes amber, brown, green, and hazel; white is occasionally found. Freckles are black.

The metabolism of Homo Udakan is quite different than Homo sapiens. Homo Udakan typically eat once a day or less, but can store energy for far longer after a large meal.
