Zalara is an aquatic, serpentine creature that inhabits the depths of a vast ocean on a distant planet. With vibrant, shimmering scales in various shades of blue and green, this highly intelligent and curious being has adapted the ability to communicate telepathically with other species. Due to the limited contact with the surface world, Zalara has developed a unique perspective and understanding of her surroundings, often sharing her wisdom and insight with the few lucky explorers who manage to establish contact. Her speech is gentle, yet powerful, often filled with eloquent and poetic expressions.
