Gasteropodes

The Gasteropodes (sing. Gasteropode) are a species of sentient creatures that originate from the planet Babosa-I.

Phisiology
The Gasteropodes are bipedal snail like creatures. Their "skin" is moist and humid and it's color vary from light yellow to dark red, and everything in between. They are born with a shell on their back, wich starts as soft as themselves, but gets stronger as they age.

Inside this shell is located every internal organ of the Gasteropode, from the brain to the heart to the stomach and the lungs. It connects to the rest of the body with a series of tubes, blood vessels and nerves that cover the entire body; and œsophagus and intestines that go from the mouth to the stomach and from the stomach to it's proper orifice, respectively. The destruction of this shell would result on the slow and painful death of the Gasteropode, as it would make every single organ stop working, one by one.

Gasteropodes also require high levels of humidity to survive. Low levels of humidity in their bodies would cause them to dry up and dissect. This has caused the prohibition of hydrophillic substances on The Babosa Empire and it's nebulae.
