Super intelligent and highly magical beings from planet Porsius. The leaders of the Galactic Alliance and possible descendants of the precursors.



The pteroda are known for their enormous brain capacity, which they use to its full potential. It allows them to tap into the spirit realm with ease and merge their minds with it. As such, their bodies aren't entirely restricted by the laws of physics. Magic flows through their veins and makes the pteroda's heavy bodies move with ease on any gravitational pull. Unfortunately, their physical capabilities are extremely lacking, which restricts them from fully realizing their power, especially when it comes to combat. Their soft bodies are simply not suited for combat. Magic is magic, but internal organs are still internal organs. They still rely on their allies for protection.



Though the pteroda love meeting other sapient species, their interactions can be rather limited. The pteroda's appearance can be admittedly quite daunting to those who aren't familiar with them. A 6 meters tall squid-like creature, that moves gracefully on the tip of its tentacles, almost like it's floating. And when it talks, it sounds like a whale playing the didgeridoo. As such, they created the Plaira, in order to interact easier with other species, who eventually invented a universal translator device.



The Pteroda highly value art and see it as the most authentic look into a species' way of thinking. Their society recognizes art as a valid career choice. Although that way of thinking led to some economic troubles in the past, which is what lead to the creation of the plaira. Though, the pteroda seem to easily understand the art of other species', other species don't seem to understand the pteroda's art. The pteroda mind simply works on a wavelength entirely alien to even other aliens.



Curiously, the octopus people of Carisha claim ancestry to the pteroda. According to them, the precursors were already allied with them, before humans ever knew about them and the octopodes are the descendants of pteroda who decided to live on Earth. Even more curiously, the pteroda themselves confirm their alliance with the precursors, though they know nothing about the octopodes. And no, not even the pteroda have the right answer on what happened to the precursors.
