The physiology of the Xalanyn appears to be highly variable, but a number of shared key traits are present in all forms seen so far. The species is generally humanoid in physical structure, possessing two arms and at least two legs, their hands bearing three or four digits. In contrast to other humanoid species, their feet project downward in a hyperextended position rather than forward, which renders the species incapable of terrestrial locomotion. As a result of this, the Xalanyn rely on the use of thrusters for movement. Their heads are smooth and hairless, with two wide-set pupil-less eyes, no nostrils, and a small, narrow mouth surrounded by a pair of fin-like tentacles. While their mouths contain teeth, they also possess a larger spike-like "tooth" at the front of their lower jaw.
