A sapient species created by the pteroda, as solution to serious economic problems. You see, the pteroda might recognize art as a valuable career path, work is still necessary for a civilization. But because nobody likes to work, masses of pteroda artists led to a lack of pteroda workers. The population would just rather do art than work. So they decided to create a creature, that would work for them. A creature perfectly suited for both physical and mental work and as soldiers. And on top of that, a creature that can communicate with the pteroda with ease. This creature became the plaira.



The plaira were designed to be durable, persistent, strong and intelligent. They're naturally industrious beings, who will happily do the dirty-work for anyone. Physically, they draw from other creatures the pteroda have seen, especially ones they see as physically and functionally superior. This includes: a strong bony frame, strong but small muscles, advanced senses, that pick up everything the pteroda can and some more, a shape that's both rigid and suited for physical labour, but is also flexible, a way to defend itself and most of all, an appearance that other species find approachable. In short, a creature whose biology is much more practical to what the pteroda have.



What the pteroda didn't count for, is the plaira to develop their own national identity and their own need for artistic expression. The pteroda tried putting them in their place first, tried to "fix the problem", but that only lead to a revolution. The pteroda quickly stepped back and, realizing their own mistake, answered the plaira's demands. A few short years later, pteroda and plaira society have fused together into its own greatly functional society.



Today, the plaira are the most valuable allies to the pteroda. Outside of economic help, they serve as their army and important figures in their relations with other species. Since the pteroda have troubles communicating with other species, it's the more approachable plaire who do most of the speaking.
