VEDJ: TEMPERAMENT A Vedj can reach a top speed of nearly 0.5 KPH, but most prefer to shamble slowly around, hunching over and dragging their vines behind. The Vedj are a very thirsty species and have a habit of plopping a vine surreptitiously into any nearby liquid, be it a puddle, toiletbowl, or someone else's drink. They are only of average intelligence, but they make fantastic computer programmers and copy editors.
