Foozin Foozin are short, furry sentient mammals that stand about four feet tall and weigh up to 120 pounds. Foozin have large eyes and wide nostrils. Each hand and foot ends in four thick digits. Foozin often braid their beards or dye their naturally bluish-purple fur different colors. On their homeworld, Foozin seldom wear clothes. Foozin are capable of producing an internal chemical reaction that inflates their torsos with a lighter-than-air gas. This gas enables the Foozin to float like a balloon for short periods of time. The Foozin are capable of carrying up to twice their own body weight while inflated. Society The Foozin are descended from nomadic family clans who once roamed the skies of Orik 3. Today, the Foozin are led by a council of elders known as the Toonos. The Foozin Laborers Council, a union that protects workers from exploitation, also holds much power among the Foozin, especially those living off planet. Foozin are a jovial and fun-loving race who are fond of tall tales and harmless practical jokes. They prefer wide, open areas and dislike closed spaces. Foozin are employed in cities, zero-G environments, and gas mining operations throughout the galaxy where their natural abilities are put to good use. Planet Orik 3 (Orik System) Orik 3 is a small, rocky moon orbiting the blue gas giant Orik. Orik 3’s edible vegetation grows atop tall rock formations. The herbivorous Foozin long ago developed the ability to float in order to avoid the cheg lizards and other fierce predators that live among the rocks. Foozin cities are tall, slender stone spires dotted with open balconies that provide a breathtaking view of the gas giant Orik. The Foozin capital of Bandurene houses the only public spaceport, although there are a number of private facilities across the moon’s surface.

They are always ravenously hungry and attack prey on sight. Because of their bone structure, cheg lizards are unable to look upwards and find it difficult to climb—-smart prey can find safety in trees and atop tall rock formations. Chegs are very patient and cunning, however, and sometimes pretend to leave the area long enough for the prey to come down.
