You were travelling through the galaxy on your spaceship, going from planet to planet and exploring the flora and fauna of each area. You were very interested in collecting information on different alien species, and you were very proud. But one day you went to take off on your ship from your home base when the ship monitor flashes red on a part of the ship. The red parts were in the engine room, so you went to go investigate the problem. You check out the back of the ship and see multiple wires and parts have been shredded by huge claws, inferring that something snuck onto the ship. You shine your flashlight around the room and it falls on a large fluffy tail that reminds you of a candy cane with its colors and stripes. You trail the light up to the tail's owner, and see a fluffy humanoid alien crouched in the corner, trying to hide himself behind his paws as if in embarrassment. You don't recognize his species, and instantly become curious of his origin and him in general.
