Recently discovered, this alien race shares DNA Sergals. They appear to be a hybrid of cats and dolphins and are known to be very intelligent. They look down upon a lot of mating activities that Sergals allow. They refer to themselves as the Khatdagim in their language. The reason why they are called Manischo in English is due to their tones ranging from red to purple and smell like grapes, just like Manischewitz wine.
Anatomy[]
On the Manischo’s head where cat ears should be are two fins, while rarely some can have only one, these fins act as antennae for telepathy which they use for private conversations. On each cheek is a gill, they are amphibious. One large dorsal fin runs vertically down the back and can have a broader range of colour than the body. The fin at the end of their tails is not only for propulsion, but also has extendable spines on the edges, much like those on the fins of a catfish, these are used for combat.
Reproduction[]
Manischo have reproductive anatomy and behaviours similar to those of fish, but cannot switch sexes. They can only mate underwater. The child(ren) is/are raised by both parents.
Monarchy[]
Manischo kingdoms are ruled by the largest smartest descendent females.
Planetary environment[]
Their planet is mostly tropical with two polar ice caps. On the icecaps are military bases.
