A normal Bala-Gurogh, commonly known as Celestials. An elusive race, the Celestials rule an empire outside our grasp and are rumored to be more technologically advanced than humans. They possess a bizarre and mind-bending biology, with non-Euclidean spaces in their chests and organs that shouldn't be able to work. According to the Celestials, they gained these traits from their home planet orbiting dangerously close around a black hole, distorting local reality. Their appearance consists of red-orange skin, a thin frame, and a single eye covering the upper three quarters of their face. This eye does not blink, but when it does, it opens up to reveal a large maw. Similarly, closing this maw makes the eye reappear. The absence of the eye affects vision minimally.
