Tellarites
Tellarites are basically humanoid, with a coarse skin texture and more facial and body hair than Humans. Their hair, covering all but the frontal face and the hands, is not as thick as animal fur, but is more reminiscent of an extremely hairy person. Their homeworlds have a thinner atmosphere than Earth, leading to their overdeveloped nasal openings, which have been unkindly compared to the snouts of Terran swine. They have a roll of abdominal fat that makes all Tellarites appear to be portly. Tellarites are stronger and more hardy than Humans, but their appearance and personality combine to give them a lower charisma.
Members of the Tellarite race are racially suspicious, argumentative and brash, at least by human standards. Those who trust too much or give in too easily are considered weak fools in Tellarite society. Surprisingly, some Tellarites make good diplomats. Tellarites enjoy a good argument. Tellarites are fond of food and drink. Fortunately, alcohol has a little adverse effect on them, only making them more stubborn. Nevertheless, they are capable of going twice as long without food or water as the average human, living off the fatty deposit for quite a while.
