Description Dayangs strive for "wyrphat'd" -- a life of leisure. To obtain this lofty goal, Dayangs (usually working together in large numbers) sell and manufacture goods, often reverse-engineering alien artifacts they happen to find. As a result, their encryption technology is the best in the galaxy, even putting the Chee to shame.
Originally from the planet Gianna Draquen (which shares it's name with their god), Dayangs have colonized other worlds, though many find careers on merchant ships.

The main torso of a Dayang can freely slide and rotate upon the lower section, allowing the Dayang to move about while remaining at rest. Besides speech, Dayangs communicate with tentacle gestures.

A commission for Lazarus90

These Dayangs are original characters of Augustine Quill on Fanfiction.Net and his Animorph story One Least Likely [link]
Featured here are, from left to right: Erko, Orbin, Hollin, Gwarver, Klika, and Picum

Dayangs are a "canon" race in the Animorphs universe, though are only once mentioned in passing; they trade the Pemalite crystal to the Yeerk Empire, not knowing what it was beyond sellable.

I love the design on these guys! I love the shape of their heads, the red/orange jewel-like thing in the middle of their faces, the tentacles coming out of their backs, and especially how their lower bodies look so mechanical (except for the feet). A truly amazing design this Lazarus90 fellow gave to these guys!

those dayangs are biomechanical, i love their weird shape, and the big red and orange third eyes too, i also love how the pupils of their green eyes vaguely look like hourglasses, and i like their loudspeaker-like ears too.

This piece of art amazes me. Words cannot express how shocked and awed I am that this drawing exists.

"You see the truth is," . . . . I am Augustine Quill.

And I simply cannot say how wonderful it makes me feel that my sometimes silly, sometimes overly-serious fanfic inspired someone to make (or extend a commission to make) a wonderful work of fanart. I am truly touched.

Oh, you are? Cool! You know, I bought it for you. I did it as an apology for my earlier rudeness. I'm glad you like it. I'm planning to buy their homeworld, as well as other aliens. You interested?

Did the blue on slide?

I believe it did. The description says that they can do that.

I like the weird in their morphology, but what is the purpose of their third big "eye"?

I'm guessing it sees a different spectrum of lights, or just sees things clearer.
It also 'glows' when the Dayang is angry or excited.

From someone who has read further in the story, you are correct. It sees in a different spectrum of light. Good guess.

Nice, very nice. More than I could have expected from you. Keep up the top-grade work when we do commissions! It's excellent, just like AQ's Dayangs!
