Coway

The Coway are a fur-covered humanoid species that are native to the planet Mimban, of the Circarpous Major System. The Coway live deep underground, and have a strong aversion to surface-dwellers. Coways have small eyes, but are able to see in the dark due to their infrared vision. Additionally, they are able to eat foods normally poisonous to humans by virtue of their more tolerant digestive sytem. They wear simple, primitive clothing.

The underground world of the Coway can be reached through deep shafts known as Thrella Shafts (named after the Thrella, an extinct species known for their numerous underground tunnels and wells). Often these have side-tunnels which lead to Coway dwellings. The Coways' government is headed by three primary decision-makers.
