	==Skrell Subspecies==		==Skrell Subspecies==
	All modern subspecies of skrell originate from ''Ranaera skrellis'', being the common ancestor between ''Axiori'' skrell and ''Xiialt'' skrell. This division, having come from evolutionary adaptations to better thrive in land and aquatic environments, formally recognizes both Axiori and Xiialt as subspecies of the same origin. Axiori skrell are scientifically referred to as ''~~Axioris Ranaera~~'', while Xiialt skrell are referred to as ''~~Xiialtus Ranaera~~''.

	Axiori skrell are more visibly aquatic, having larger tails, eyes, and more prominently webbed feet in order to improve their ability to swim underwater. The average Axiori skrell is shorter, heavier, and usually have darker-colored skin coloration than the other two subspecies. Axiori tend to be more psionically capable, which is hypothesized to originate from using it underwater to detect prey, avoid predators, and maintain contact with other skrell while separated across larger regions.

	Skrell are a species of amphibious, hairless, bipedal sophonts who originated from the planet [[Qerrbalak]]. Having evolved from an originally fully aquatic species, skrell have gills, webbing between their digits on their hands and feet, and large eyes for improved vision while submerged. Skrell have copper-based blood, or hemocyanin, in lieu of iron-based blood found in most other sophonts in the Spur. Large portions of skrell, particularly in the Axiori and Xiori subspecies, have tails of varying sizes and form, allowing them better movement underwater. Skrell experience [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lunar_effect\|notable lunar effects] due to most moons’ ~~effects~~ on tides, manifesting as changes in emotional stability and personality. These effects are particularly noticeable when moving between planets with different lunar calendars, or when spending extended periods of time in space or on planets with no moons at all. Some research has implicated that skrell experience hormonal changes in time with the tidal cycles, but remains to be fully proven.

These effects are particularly noticeable when moving between planets with different lunar calendars, or when spending extended periods of time in space or on planets with no moons at all. Some research has implicated that skrell experience hormonal changes in time with the tidal cycles, but remains to be fully proven.

	Most skrell are active throughout the day and night, being metaturnal and capable of sleeping almost on command. Skrell require a minimum of one hour of sleep a day, but will rest without sleep multiple times throughout the day in order to recover. While asleep, the [[#Psionic_Development\|Zona Bovinae]] begins emitting a high amount of psionic signals, transferring a skrell into a shared, lucid dreaming state known as the Srom, or Dream. While capable of sleeping for more than one hour a day, significant time spent sleeping is considered a sleep disorder, though this is separate from the ability to enter a hibernation period that lasts between several weeks to multiple months. This hibernation period is typically done for meditative or religious reasons, but can sometimes be used to socially withdraw out of reclusion.
