A Species Meme

This can be done for any species, closed or otherwise
I encourage you to go through it once, putting in things you have already come up with- and if there is any blanks, go back through and do Italics when you are coming up with things.

Will add to this list as I think of things or things are suggested. Lets help each other come up with well thought out Species!

This is generally for Feral species- may need to be tweaked for a human-like group etc

ANd if a question does not play into your species nor do you feel like answering it, put a nice N/A or just dont answer it!
