Sic-Six
The Sic-Six were a species of intelligent arachnids who could produce webbing and use it to detect nearby presences by hearing the vibrations of the threads. Their proportionally large tympanic membranes, which covered most of their bodies, made this possible. At the same time, this made them vulnerable to loud sounds. Sic-Six had other important sensory organs, including four pairs of eyes, each adapted to see a different part of the spectrum.
Sic-Six generated a natural poison that, while toxic to the fauna of their native planet of Sisk, only acted as an intoxicating drug to organisms from other planets. Several Sic-Six, such as Trix-sor, left their planet to earn a living as "fangers," individuals paid to bite and inebriate customers. This lifestyle suited the species well, as the arachnids disliked the company of fellow Sic-Six.

Special Abilities:
Hearing: Sic-Six have incredible hearing and get a +3D bonus to any Perceptionchecks involving hearing. However, Sic-Six are extremely susceptible to loud noises: any explosions within 20 meters of a Sic-Six cause upwards of 6D sound damage to them.
Poison: Beings injected with Sic-Six poison must make a Moderate Strength roll or be paralyzed for 1D+2 rounds.
Sight: Sic-Six can see in the ultraviolet and infrared ranges, and therefore can see in all conditions except complete darkness.
Webbing: Sic-Six can make very fine webs, which they often use as "prey detectors": they are strung across a lair, or between trees (in wilderness; they sometimes string them across corridors). A being must make a Moderate Perception total to notice the webbing. If the being fails the check, it may blunder into the web, which is very light and will give, but the vibrations on the web will alert the Sic-Six if it is still attached to the web strand.
Story Factors:
Poison: The poison of the Sic-Six is extremely popular in the galaxy and can often command prices higher than that of the best Corellian spice. Because of this, crime lords often on the lookout for Sic-Six who they might be ableto "employ." A Sic-Six will get many of these offers, some of which will be "impossible" to turn down.
