"I was raised by humans, an' my kind are pretty rare. I didn't meet any other Novakid 'til I was already an adult, an' by then I had more important things ta worry about."

'Species' and 'biology' are perhaps not the right terms to use here, since there's nothing biological about Novakid at all; they're basically just humanoid sacks of plasma that are somehow able to think and speak and eat... and make babies, yes.
