Bivalls are a sentient species of tall instantly recognizable bipeds with lanky bodies, large eyes mounted on stalks, crested heads, and long fingers that were native to Protobranch, a planet located in the Core Worlds. Their scaly skin ranged in color from white and red to green. The species' lives revolved around water, but they did not need it to thrive and could settle far from it. Bivalls are known for their elongated necks, which contain a series of vocal cords that allow them to produce a wide range of sounds and pitches. They are a highly intelligent species, and they are widely respected for their expertise in fields such as engineering, mathematics, and physics. They are also known for their impressive memory and ability to process complex information quickly. Despite their intelligence, Bivalls are often introverted and prefer to keep to themselves, but they are always willing to share their knowledge with those who show a genuine interest.
