Pentaverse Species Guide

Folloml

Characterized by their pale hairless blue skin, elongated bloodies without distinction between the torso and the head, stubby clawed legs, short stubbed tail, and longer fleshy arms with four distinct fingers on each hand. The Folloml has large, round, insect-like eyes positioned on opposite sides of the head that give it a panoramic 360 degree view around them. The mouth is positioned between and beneath the eyes and is small and incapable of closing completely.

Religion is rarely something that can be found consistent throughout an entire species, because of the impacts of a species' many diverse cultures. However, when the Folloml species was first introduced to the Pentaverse, only one single world wide religion existed on the entire planet. Translated, the religions name is known as 'Folloml Cosmism'.

According to history, long before the species became technologically advanced, an alien species came to their world and made themselves known to the entire Folloml species. They claimed to have come in peace, and wished only to become familiar with the planet.

The Folloml accepted them with open arms, mesmerized by their space traversing vessels and science defying technologies. They treated the alien species well and eventually said goodbye as the aliens wished to return to their own home world.

The alien species was described as having "several strange small eyes with black holes at their centers, blue skin like ours, though a darker shade than ever seen before. Instead of arms and legs, the aliens had four tentacles they they used to maneuver themselves, and strange mouths on their backs."

The Folloml later discovered that the alien species were the Pamnna.

As the years progressed, more and more Pamnna began to visit the Folloml home world as a form of vacation, taking advantage of the species' generous hospitality. The visitations began to be so frequent that the Folloml cultures began to mold and form around the Pamnna aliens. They began to see the Pamnna species as deities, and reveled in their frequent visitations.

Then, when a world war broke out on the Pamnna home planet, a large terrorist faction of the war broke planetary law and used the Folloml planet as their base of operations. The war soon followed the faction to the planet with hopes to eliminate the terrorist faction, but the other sides of the Pamnna world war were unable to do so without the evolvement of the Folloml.

Eventually, the Pamnna were finally able to remove its existence from the bystanding Folloml planet and finish the war on their own home world. But not after destroying half of the Folloml planet in the process due to the war.

The effects on the Folloml species were catastrophic and irreversible; with the majority of their world in ruins and their populations dwindling near extinction. Soon after the Pamnna war ended, there were many efforts made to help rebuild the Folloml world, all done with focus on remaining nonexistent to the species so as not to further the damage to the now decimated and tainted Folloml cultures.

Unfortunately, the damage had already been done. All existing Folloml culture saw the Pamnna species as deities. A single religion surfaced as a result; Folloml Cosmism.

Folloml Cosmism is still the dominat religion on the Folloml home world to this day, although many other religions have grown there since the species was introduced to the Pentaverse.

Some of the other more noticeable effects of the Pamnna species interference show in the Folloml's traditional view of beauty: darker blue skin and smaller eyes are viewed as more beautiful, these being noticeable characteristics of the Pamnna.
