Arcona/Legends

Arcona, sometimes singular Arconan, were scaleless reptiles with humanoid bodies. They had flat, anvil-shaped heads; sharp claws; clear, marble-like eyes; and skin tone that ranged from mahogany to ebony. Cona, the native planet of the Arcona, was always hot, and had very little water. The atmosphere was filled with ammonia vapor. Arcona living off Cona often had to take ammonia supplements.



The Arcona's weaknesses had been exploited in the past; offworlders used to trade water for mineral rights, but soon discovered that salt was a highly addictive hallucinogen for Arcona. Traders then imported large amounts of salt before communities outlawed the dealings. Salt-addicted Arcona could be easily recognized because their eyes turned from green to gold. Because of the large amount of addicts, many people believed that the natural Arconan eye color was gold.

While Arcona had a limited technological level when they were first contacted, they had since adapted to modern technology. Arcona have established colonies on many worlds, and Arcona families and individuals spread throughout the Galaxy.

Lifestyle
Arcona normally thought of themselves as a whole. They often referred to themselves as "we" even when only one was present. Arcona were born in nests undeground, and from this, they obtained their sence of family living with brothers and sisters.
