Ferusten

Ferustens are sentients native to Bvarladun, a planet with a high amount of geological activity that mostly appears in the form of hot springs and long volcanic fissures.
== Appearance ==
They appear to be ungulate in many ways and possess a medium-length tail; a pair of long, pointed horns atop their heads; and long, pointed, leaf-like ears. They do not possess hooves, however; their feet are mammalian and digitigrade with four toes. Their hands, contrary to most similar species, possess only three fingers and one thumb.
== Biology ==
They are physically frail and rarely grow beyond 5'5" in height. To compensate for their frailty, they have a mechanism that allows them to project superheated gases from their mouths; a similar method as the Futeci in that the mouth has two glands that eject hypergolic chemicals ahead, which burst into flame on contact with each other. As a way to ensure proper projection of such flames, their lungs have a surprisingly high capacity; this also allows them to hold their breaths for up to 45 minutes. Ferustens have a very high body temperature of 180F/82.2C and can die in temperatures below 60F/15.6C. They have a penchant for seafood; their planet's oceans have a high mineral content due to its active geology, which provides the sealife with more resources and a more desirable flavor. In fact, Bvarladuni seafood has been widely claimed as the best in the entire galaxy, even surpassing that of Boiaw and Papovar. Their average natural lifespan is 200 years.
== Personality ==
They have a pleasant and friendly disposition and thus have had few wars in their history.
== Government ==
Bvarladun's government is a monarchy, led by a king and queen.
