Interesting. Which species is the most foreign, in relation to modern humanity?

"Probably the Renme. They're amphibians, but greatly prefer the water -- it's quite rare to see one in this room. They look rather like giant, speckled axolotls with arms. Their civilization was much more 'advanced' than that of the carrion birds; they had architecture, sciences, farming, all tucked away on the ocean floor. But they never found a heating system that worked underwater, so the next ice age saw them all die off. -Some suggested leaving the ocean, making fire on land and huddling around it, but sadly that didn't catch on fast enough. By the time most renme really knew it would be their best option, they were largely too cold to move." Zerachiel looks away for a moment. "They were remembered as 'sea monsters.' Hardly fair."
