Tellarites are native to Tellar Prime and possess a stout, dense, porcine-like mammalian physiology. They favor warmer, moisture-rich environments and are known for enjoying mud baths. While physically stronger than humans, their bulky frames mean they often lack long-distance cardiovascular endurance. Tellarites are famously known for their naturally abrasive, argumentative psychology, using insults as a standard cultural tool for communication. This has led to the common phrase: "Tellarites do not argue for a reason, they simply argue."
