The Phentari race is the most mistrusted, disliked, and feared of all the
known races. They are bipedal squid-like beings with generally nasty
dispositions toward life and are sometimes called names like Grim Reaper, Cold
Death, Demon Spawn, and Soul Sucker. Phentari are indigenous to the methane
planet Phena in the Tau Ceti star system. They are typically evil, but a few
have been known to be good. Phentari have four sinuous arms, each of which is
capable of independent action. This allows the squid to target and fire
multiple weapons, or perform multiple independent actions simultaneously. When
using edged weapons, the squid attacks like a mobile cuisinart. Multiple
tentacles also allow the squid to climb quite well. Phentari possess stump
like legs which offer little balance. They have long since adopted prosthetic
gear to facilitate running. Phena has a 20% methane atmosphere and like the
Eridani, the Phentari must wear an atmospheric processor when operating
outside of a methane environment. They are not liked by most other races who
view them as evil and treacherous. This suits the Phentari just fine for he
holds all weaker beings in utter contempt anyway. Many Phentari follow the
philosophy that, "All fear me. Those who don't, I have already disposed of!"
The squids understand their own version of persuasion which is coercion. Why
would there be any other method of getting someone to do something for you?
The only races that the Phentari actually like are Orions and Tza Zen
Rigeln. Phentari do respect those who are powerful, but they deplore
cowardice.
