Silfen

Alien species that inhabit many worlds throughout the galaxy. The Silfen are bipeds and are slightly taller than humans. Their heads are proportionally larger than humans with a flat face, wide feline eyes, a thin nose with long narrow nostrils and long, unbound hair. Their mouths have three circles of teeth that can flex to pull food into their gullet and although it looks slightly menacing, they are herbivores. Their skin is tougher than humans and has a leathery feel and a silk shimmer. Their hands consist of four fingers that can bend in any way. They have shown no desire to learn the Commonwealth language but instead speak in riddles and gibberish. They have no interest in technological artefacts but travel between worlds by 'paths'. The paths are located on many planets and are, as the name suggests, paths that lead from forests on one planet to another planet completely.
