The Shellinir are a ursid and feline - Semi Open - species.
”Shellinir are a bearlike felinoid species with signature shells fused to their back; resembling many earth-life forms. They share their planet, the Landom, with a sentient, sapient reptilian sister species called the Zuranthi. Due to a cataclysm that destroyed most dominant mammalian life; the Shellinir are the few surviving mammals, and are the only sentients to walk the Landom.“ - Velli, the Librarian
