## Biology and appearance

The Dallogrun are a race of hulking reptilian bipeds from the planet Dallgrun. As a bombid, Dallogrun possess a bipedal stance, with two arms and two legs along with a head on the top of their torsos. Their entire body leans forwards with the thick neck jutting out forward from the torso, making them seem like they have a hunched over position. All of the appendages are thick, with stout legs and lengthy arms. The tail is flat and wide, being barely visible. Thanks to their large muscles,Dallogrun possess an immense strength. Dallogrun are large standing at 2.75 meters tall and weighing on average 232 kilograms.

The head sits on a neck that juts out from the torso. Dallogrun are incapable of turning their heads, making them have to shift their whole body to see. The jaw has an overbite with multiple of the Dallogrun's 36 sharp teeth sticking out. Dallogrun have two nostrils, resting above the mouth on a flat nose. Dallogrun have a bald head with a noticeably large brow. The tiny eyes have large bags and can come in various colors. Dallogrun have small ears, being little more than flaps, with average hearing abilities.

Dallogrun have two four-fingered hands with large claws. The feet are flat three stubby toes. Dallogrun are typically one color, ranging from gray to lemon to pale blue, possessing only one darker coloration running from the neck to the stomach. The Dallogrun's hide is extremely thick, with the nerve endings buried deep within. This causes the Dallogrun to suffer minimal pain from external damage. The skin has large scales with nearly invisible seams, all of which are interconnected underneath. The scales take a long time to regrow, giving many Dallogrun a scarred appearance.

Like most reptiles, Dallogrun reproduce by laying eggs in groups of four to ten that hatch after around 100 days. Dallogrun pups rapidly grow maturing at the age of eight. Over the course of an average Dallogrun's 110 year lifespans, they reproduce around eight times, mating multiple times a year. Like most species in the galaxy, Dallogrun have two sexes that are assigned at birth, male and female. Male Dallogrun a typically much larger than the females, being nearly twice the size. Females have a less noticeable hump and have a larger tail.

## Society and culture

As such a strong species, Dallogrun naturally take pride in their strength. Male Dallogrun fight violent battles to win the attraction of a mate, these battles often end with the loser dying or being killed by the female. Even in more contemporary settings, male Dallogrun have a "macho" attitude, often trying to showcase impressive feats of strength and feuding with other males. Dallogrun females are more subdued, but equally likely to butt heads, with many females often fighting for a male. This attitude is even shared among the young, with the first pup to hatch often eating the other eggs.

Dallogrun clans a led by the strongest male. Any of the other males can attempt to claim the title of clan leader, engaging in one on one duels. Multiple times a year, festivals are held across Dallgrun, where all the clans come together for one large competition of strength. In more modern systems, the Dallogrun clans build cities, with the clan leader being the governor.

Despite their tendencies for violent interactions, most of the Dallogrun's "tough guy" attitudes are mainly for show, only rarely bubbling into a full-on conflict. The race is able to focus enough on other subjects in that they were able to develop advanced technologies.

The main language spoken by the Dallogrun is Dallan, a gruff tongue used by Dallogrun across the galaxy.

## History

The Dallogrun first evolved from a large reptilian predator on the planet Dallgrun. They were able to develop sentience, society, and eventually space travel by 0 YBO, allowing them access to their nearby systems. The Dallogrun never developed a mega-corporation of their own, instead Dallgrun was bought out by Schietzam Unions company at 321 YAO. Schietzam Unions was later bought out and obtained by the Oubdis Alliance at 478 YAO, making the Dallogrun members by extension.

Despite the species not being full members of the Alliance, the Dallogrun have maintained their membership, with Schietzam Unions still possessing a Shareholder on the Oubdis Alliance Board. The Dallogrun species has spread throughout the rest of the galaxy becoming a common sight with even one CCO and multiple Parsons being Dallogrun.

## Dallogrun in the galaxy

Dallogrun can be found almost anywhere in the galaxy, though they are uncommon due to their large size. Because of their tendencies for violence, the Dallogrun have gained a reputation as a rough and tough species. Dallogrun are common throughout the Oubdis Alliance, with many working for it's various corporations.

Because of their reputation and strength, most Dallogrun find work as bodyguards or soldiers. Many Dallogrun work in the Oubdis Alliance government, managing Schietzam Unions. Many more Dallogrun, partly due to Schietzam Unions itself, work in the underground, where being tough and violent is a desired trait.
