“ | Once regarded as little more than pets, their owners eventually realized the Galvans' Omega Point super-intelligence, and things rapidly changed. The Galvans became the galaxy's most savvy engineers, technicians, and searchers. Nothing could quench their thirst for knowledge, and their hunt to catalog all interstellar DNA. | ” |
The Galvan[1] (also known as the Galvin)[DR 1][DR 2] are an amphibious species from the planet Galvan Prime.
Appearance[]
Galvan are a species of small bipedal frog-like amphibians.
Galvan are about five inches tall on average. Their bodies consist of soft and flexible bones, allowing them to squeeze into tight spaces or quickly escape from danger.
Galvan have large, bulbous eyes with thin lines for pupils. Unlike humans, Galvan eyelids close horizontally and from both sides of the eye. When young, Galvans have orange eyes. As they grow older, their eyes turn green. Mutant Galvans like Dark Matter have red eyes, which as they get older will either turn yellow or not change at all.[DR 3]
History[]
Once regarded as pets, their owners eventually realized the Galvans had enhanced intelligence, and things rapidly changed.
The Galvans became the universe's best engineers, technicians and researchers. Nothing could quench their thirst for knowledge, and their hunt to catalog all interstellar DNA. The Galvans built an armada of sentient drones. Probing the cosmos, these drones sought out alien civilizations, scientific anomalies, and singularities that only advanced Galvan minds could comprehend. The immense of probes of DNA information they collected from every alien species in the cosmos were uploaded into Galvan Prime's central computer, ensuring that Galvan Prime would forever remain the center of research to the DNA of the universe.
Powers and Abilities[]
A Galvan's small size belies their great calculative and technical intellect. A Galvan's mind is able to generate energies that lead to accelerated synaptic activity,[DR 2] allowing them to build extremely advanced machinery, even out of spare parts, and understand the functions or components of any device at a glance. They are also able to modify technology to suit their needs, as demonstrated by Grey Matter when he converted one of Vilgax's Drones into a glider.[2]
A Galvan's intellect goes beyond technology; their ability to visualize calculations and formulate strategies at a glance can give them the upper hand in combat,[3][4] and they have a great understanding of the biology of living creatures.[5]
A Galvan's size allows them to squeeze into small spaces,[6] and they can climb walls thanks to micro suction cups on their skin.[merch 1][7] They also have sharp teeth and their slimy skin makes them difficult to grab.[merch 2]
Galvans possess enhanced jumping, being able to bound between various pieces of airborne debris, as demonstrated by Grey Matter.[8]
Galvans can breathe underwater due to having gills,[9][10][merch 2] making them amphibious.[8]
Galvans possess a form of telekinesis, being able to use hand gestures to levitate and manipulate objects at a distance, as demonstrated by Azmuth.[11]
Weaknesses[]
A Galvan's small stature makes them ill-suited for physical battle,[8] so they must outsmart their enemies in a fight.
Galvans are vulnerable to fire.[4]
Because they are light, Galvans can easily be blown back by strong winds.[7]
Technology[]
The Galvan have made many discoveries and created many great technologies found within the universe, such as:
