Calentar (Asylum)

The Calentar are a species of tall, hairy humanoid sentients. Their most distinctive features were the twin conical horns growing on the top of their heads, which acted as highly responsive electromagnetic sensors. These head cones were sensitive enough to pick up subtle changes in another being's electromagnetic emissions from emotional changes, making the calentar natural empaths. The unique nature of these sensors shaped Calentar culture, and helped individual Calentar carve niches in galactic society ranging from bounty hunters to diplomats.
