 * Note: The following entry is currently under heavy development. Please do not consider any information other than RPG stats to be Bloodlines canon.

The Cyylehn were a reptilian species native to the planet Cyyla. Their warlike nature found them in the employ of various underworld organizations, working as bodyguards and enforcers.

Appearance and Biology
The Cyylehn were a unique combination of a humanoid torso with two human-like arms, head, and torso, while their lower body was snake-like. They were covered in a tough layer of scales, ranging in greens and browns in color. Their eyes were generally yellow, but some rare colors did occur. The Cyylehn were capable of growing out hair, which upon careful examination, was actually smaller, scale growths which mimicked hair, acting as a way to help regulate body temperature.

The tails of the Cyylehn made them more agile than most species, allowing them to move quickly and even to wrap around objects to assist in climbing. The Cyylehn used their tails to crush prey with a constriction like technique.

Society and Culture
The Cyylehn were an aggressive species, often warring amongst themselves, until the introduction of the galactic community to them. The Cyylehn quickly grasp on to technologies they were exposed to and soon were venturing out to other worlds.

Forming a cult-like order centered around the worship of their god, the Cyylehn follow beliefs in a great Serpent God, which gives them a bit of an arrogant view of other species. While the Cyylehn use common energy weapons, they prefer many variants of melee and stun weapons.

The Cyylehn have adapted to many foods from across the galaxy, but have been known to hunt other sentient species, not just for sport, but as food too.
