Ur-Quan

Hi,
I have often wondered how the Ur-Quan move, those tentacles look like they would be good for hanging from trees but how would they move on say open grassland, or do they have legs like cattapillars? Obviously it's not needed to be explained in the game as they hang around in ships all day but nevertheless it would be interesting to know what their natural means of locomotion is.

He (she?) said "legs like caterpillars" (well, "cattapillars"), not "eating habits like caterpillars". This is what the SC1 manual has to say about the subject: The Ur-Quans' appearance is interesting, given the race's essentially predatory disposition. Resembling a giant caterpillar, a fully-grown Ur-Quan is formed of a segmented body-tube ten meters long and two meters in diameter. The Ur-Quan equivalent of a face is rich in sensory organs. The tubed creatures are clawed, which allows them to cling tenaciously to the roped ceilings of their dreaded Dreadnought craft. I remember the SC2 manual giving a different story, but I checked it and it says they "resemble the predatory caterpillar native to Earth's Hawaiian Islands". So it seems there's a meat eater in that family after all.

Maybe they're from a planet with lower gravity.
