Translations:Codex: Shalinae/10/en

Appearance

Shalinae appear as a hybrid of a giant avian (bird) and a terran, fused together at the base of what would be the former’s neck and the latter’s waist. As a result they’ve been dubbed ‘bird-taurs’ by galactic slang - an appellation that has come to be considered to be largely correct since they conform to most expectations of that phenotype: two arms, two hands, opposable thumbs, a nose, a mouth, and even male pectorals and female breasts. This continues below the waist with two meaty avian legs, talons, feathers, a bird-like body segment, and two feathered wings (each almost as wide as a terran is tall).
