Species
Ortolan
Homeworld	Orto

The Ortolans are a species of stocky, pachydermoid bipeds with long snouts, and large floppy ears. Ortolans come from the frigid, mineral-rich planet Orto.

Ortolans have a keen sense of smell to help them forage for food, able to sense food up to two kilometers away. This is an adaptation to their planet's harsh climate and short growing season, which makes food supplies scarce. Ortolans also have hearing that extended well into the subsonic range. Naturally, their twin obsessions are food and music, and their suction-cupped fingers are suitably adapted to both pastimes: while able to absorb food through their finger tips, they are also exceptional organists. Offworld, many Ortolans find success as master chefs or musicians.
