As the head of Science and Medicine I believe that it is my job to catalog any "Foreign" species that are not considered a "people"
(OOC: Actually I just believe that I read a lot of scifi and could draw/take notes/invent new alien animals. There will be a separate thread for "people" foreigns IE: Treecats will NOT be in this tread because they are a "people" and shall be in the other thread)

Species: Arctic Bug-Bear Scientific Name: Insecta-Ursus maritimus Hibitant Planet(s): Hermes II Environment: Sub-Arctic with very few trees and bodies of flowing water. The Arctic Bug-Bear is a species that resembles Earth's "Polar Bear" with a few minor differences. For one, it has four eyes instead of two, though the eye sight in each is around 1/2 the capability as the normal eye. The Arctic Bug-Bear is also a hexapects, meaning it has six legs instead of four or two. Through my time spent with Kuma I, and other scientists have concurred that the middle legs only serve to push dirt out when the beast is digging in the sub-arctic ground.
The large beast has yellow antennas that seem to have an electro current moving though them, though no one is truly sure what that would serve. Perhaps a form of communication? Another thing that is unexplained is why the Arctic Bug-Bear has coloured fur rather then white fur and black skin. Given the region it lives in, the fur makes little sense. Males are typically green and purple while the females generally are yellow and purple. The markings are much like leopards, tigers and zebras in the manner they are unique to the animal.
The claws are long and curved but I have observed they are rather dull, and their teeth are far more sharp. This is because Arctic Bug-Bears are carnivores and dig under the grounds of Hermes II to hunt their prey, their claws becoming dull from the efforts.
Little is known of their breeding cycles nor is anyone sure just how many of these bears there are.
