The Shen are a humanoid race with distinctive appendages growing from their heads. The males possess four large symmetrical horns, while the females possess one central horn and a corona of appendages. They possess long faces with gaunt mouths and strikingly bright eyes which lack pupils. Both sexes exhibit a pair of tentacles growing from the base of their jaw which they often ornament. Females give birth to live young after a gestation period of approximately 13 months, and the average lifespan is approximately 120 years. They are strongly monogamous, and divorce is frowned upon. Homosexuality is common and accepted. | The Shen are a humanoid race with distinctive appendages growing from their heads.
