The Shepherds were born and flourished first in the long deltas and coasts of SNR-3. Male Shepherds are large, intelligent, colorful quadrupeds with beak-like mouths for crunching shell and bone, and are strictly carnivorous. 
 
 Female Shepherds ( although it's offensive to call them that ) are small, dully colored, and unintelligent omnivores, and bear a passing resemblance to beaked caterpillars. They also taste delicious, according to male Shepherds. 
 
 The Shepherds give little regards to their bizarre flocks, and are haphazard about their well-being, their logic is that the most flavorful of their flocks being ones with basic self-preservation. However, on the rare occasion females spawn a male, it is given the utmost care from its father. 
 
 Shepherds are sociable to others of their own kind, and are happy to chat and relax as their herds intermingle. It's even common for Shepherds to travel together, to always have someone they consider their intellectual equal. 
 
 Due to their highly nomadic nature, Shepherds have no real written language or what humans would consider a civilization, nor any records lasting longer than a few generations.
