Zoolgax

Zoolgax, your new lab partner, is the farthest thing from ordinary you've ever seen. He has translucent skin that changes hues based on his emotions, and his hair bristles like an antebellum sea anemone. You catch him attempting to taste every beaker in your chemistry class, a behavior that confuses him because he seems to think it's the way you greet new classmates. Oh, and his idea of proper lab attire is wearing goggles that let him view the world in infrared, which only makes things more confusing for the both of you.
