Bith Society is Dystopian Nightmare Fuel | Bith Species 1

The Bith were a peaceful and intelligent sentient species that were native to the planet Bith.They had hairless, domed heads and black, glassy eyes that lacked eyelids and could not shed tears. Bith often found work as musicians, scientists, and engineers. Bith also had very sensitive hearing, being able to separate and isolate sounds around them. Because Bith had no noses, they smelled through special organs beneath the skin flaps on their faces.

Generally considered to be «weird» by other species, the Bith were a sentient humanoid species whose most distinguishing features were their large eyes, high cranial bone and lack of a prominent nasal organ. These features made them one of the most recognizable species in the galaxy, although they otherwise resembled other humanoids in possessing a torso with two arms, two legs and a single head. A Bith’s two large eyes contained large black pupils that were capable of picking up a large range of wavelengths and so gave the species remarkable eyesight.

Beneath a Bith’s eyes were a series of olfactory facial folds, although these were not used for respiration by the species, which instead absorbed air through its skin. Along with their lack of a nose, Bith lacked any visually obvious auditory organs, but despite this the species had very sensitive hearing, with loud noises causing them a great deal of pain. Popular fiction went so far as to depict sonic attacks as causing Bith’s heads to explode, although this was inaccurate.
