The head is densely covered with hair which, left uncut, can grow to resemble a mane which extends partly down the spine. The rest of the body is covered with dense fur which is resistant to the worst of cold and windy weather. However, Chakats do not like extremely hot conditions although they can tolerate them for a while. They are most comfortable at temperatures between zero and twenty degrees Celsius. | The head is densely covered with hair which, left uncut, can grow to resemble a mane which extends partly down the spine.

The name of the species is derived from the husband and wife partners who led the team who developed their species: Charles & Katherine Turner.

Chakats generally love the great outdoors, so the devastation of [[Earth]] hit them hard. Tremendously adaptable, Chakats survived in the habitats of [[Luna]] and [[Mars]], but they always suffered from an underlying sense of loss. In some circles there has even been talk of Chakats finding a habitable planet or moon and establishing a special colony world of their own -- but others argue the time is not yet right for that, as the Chakat population is not yet large enough to support such a project. | Chakats generally love the great outdoors, so the devastation of [[Earth]] hit them hard.
