PeltedShow

For many beings, a lack of skin would be a serious medical concern. For a pelted? A fact of life. Pelted resemble bulky, skinless, hairless hominids of above average strength. They are found either opting to wear custom suits to protect them from the environment, or forgoing the suit to develop heavy calluses as a protective layer. While the latter lack the suit's restrictions, their calluses result in slow, stiffened movement.
Xen happens to be of the suit-wearing variety, a fact which (hopefully) the captors have respected.
