have a mohawk-like sagittal crest that blends into a sail down their back.
2
have four independently-moving eyes like a chameleon.
3
have viciously-clawed & envenomed foot-thumbs.
4
have colourful feathers instead of fur.
5
have bonelessly tentacular fingers and toes.
6
have prehensile snoods dangling from their faces, somewhat like a turkey's.

These hadozee fly
1
by inflating their massively overdeveloped vocal sac.
2
with wings of retractable finger-webbing stretched between their elongated digits.
3
with their patagium - classic style.
4
by spinning their tail like a helicopter.
5
by swimming through the air, buoyed by the super-buoyant gases in their bone marrow.
6
by electrostatically activating their fur to float through magnetic fields.
D6
These hadozee come from
1
primates sent into the void to test the first spelljammers, the magical equivalent of Albert I et al.
2
Earth, a version of Earth where apes took over after humans wiped themselves out - it fell out of an interdimensional rift or something.
3
a sort of King Kong situation, only the tower their Ymirian, King Kong-esque primordial progenitor climbed was tall enough to reach into space.
4
the same thing every other sort of animal-people come from in fantasy-space: sexual deviance.
5
the same world as humans, in ancient times. Per legend there was a contest between humans and hadozee, with the prize being the inheritance of the world - humans won, and yet the hadozee received their own world as a consolation prize, where small foolish humans take the places that apes & monkeys would on the human-controlled world.
6
nowhere in particular, that anyone can remember - they've been around so long that there's a million stories about it.
D6
These hadozee are often
1
found carrying panpipes which are also stacks of blowguns which can be fired in quick succession - all musical styles are also martial arts (and vice-versa) across their cultures.
2
found among rebels and revolutionaries - a great uprising on their homeworld was recently crushed, and the survivors were scattered across the void, still full of zeal.
3
haters of the rain, and of getting wet - preferring to use scented oils & cloths instead of bathing to clean themselves, and carrying an umbrella whenever the sky is even somewhat cloudy.
4
bare - shaving oneself is the go-to for losing a bet, or showing one's sincerity, or whatever other such minor sacrifice.
5
vegetarians, seeing the consumption of flesh as a barbaric vice.
6
anti-acrophobic, finding comfort in heights rather than fear.
D6
These hadozee's spelljammers tend to
1
be voluminous vessels, an envelope bulging with atmosphere around a spindly armature - their numbers within, equipped and ready for boarding, making up for the relative fragility.
2
be modular and inter-operable, sub-crew piecing together custom combo-ships for each job.
3
be live star-beasts they've tamed & built habitable compartments in the cavities of.
4
be hard little slivers with over-massive drives - deft at maneuvering, and at ramming, and at little else.
5
be shaped like bananas, though they will insist that they actually resemble crescent moons - the symbol of their chief goddess.
6
be oribcular jacks-of-all-trades, though always with one little gimmick or trick that throws opponents a curveball.
