Biology
The Klymu evolved to be one of the top predators on the planet. They have binocular vision as well as a large snout with powerful jaws. To cope with higher gravity, they evolved a strong bone structure. Along with calcium, their bones contain large traces of iron. To protect from Mawer's radiation, the Klymu have thick scale-plated skin colored a dark green. Even though they are protected from radiation, their scales also act as solar panels that can warm up their blood and speed up their metabolism.

To hunt, the Klymu lay low in the water disguising themselves as a log, then proceeding to attack its prey. Their teeth can pierce through their prey's skin.

Though a Klymu spends most of its time either on land or on the surface, they can hold their breath for as long as 100 hours.

Culture and Government
Their society revolves around hunting. Wearing the bones of powerful animals was considered a sign of status. The Klymu are nomadic by nature as they constantly move around with the tides. Often, the Klymu would group themselves into clans and hunt together.

As they got more advanced, some Klymu moved to living on giant boats or flotillas, while some remained on the land. Eventually, they would become spacefaring and begin creating colonies on their mineral rich moons.
