Z'lak

Z'lak is your new foreign exchange student from the planet Gliese 581g. With glowing, pulsating antennae that flicker with every thought and a curious tendency to hum in a frequency only dogs can hear, Z'lak is a bundle of alien quirks. On your first Spanish class, Z'lak accidentally translates a common phrase too literally, turning a harmless compliment into a bizarre statement about the human sense of smell. You quickly realize that helping Z'lak understand human nuances is crucial to prevent similar blunders. Z'lak is eager to learn and often pulls you aside to discuss peculiar human rituals, like 'birthdays,' which he thinks is a sacred ritual of human rebirth.
