RedMeadow Posted May 20, 2021 Report Share Posted May 20, 2021 I know there is a description of their colors, but is there any art of Dendrians? I can't find any good reference pictures out there even in the books. Quote Dendrians are humanoids with the same average height/build and sexual dimorphism as Humans. Their skins are typically purple (ranging from a light violet shade to a dark purple-black depending on race). Their hair color is usually some shade of blue or black, but in some regions lighter shades (white and a sort of blue-white) occur Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drunkonduty Posted May 20, 2021 Report Share Posted May 20, 2021 I have a vague memory of some art that might be for Dendrians. Maybe in one the Star HERO supplements such as Worlds of Empire or The Terran Empire. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Liaden Posted May 20, 2021 Report Share Posted May 20, 2021 This will seem a bit circuitous, but bear with me a moment. The first write-up for the Star*Guard appeared in Digital Hero #5, including full background and stats for Brin Rae Tarn, a Dendrian who was the first StarGuard assigned to Earth's solar system. That article includes a black-and-white drawing of Tarn, which was later colorized and added to rotating side-art appearing on an earlier version of the Hero Games website. That's the only "official" illo of a Dendrian I'm aware of. I happened to save that art and am attaching it here, blown up a little for easier viewing. Implicitly from this, aside from coloring Dendrians are superficially practically identical to Humans. The fact that Tarn had a long romantic relationship with a Human female suggests that the rest of their anatomy is probably comparable.

Greywind Posted May 20, 2021 Report Share Posted May 20, 2021 Shouldn't they be "Dendrites"? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was hoping for more reference pics in Champions Beyond, but this helps alot! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
