| Vox bodies are difficult to acquire, as their only manufactured inside Arkships by an Apex. This rare value is why vox treasure their body and preserve it for as long they can live within it, as replacement or alternatives are very lackluster, expensive, or impossible. The price for a body outside of arkships normally tend to charge thousands of credits per body, price depending with size, implants, and quality of age. | | Vox bodies are difficult to acquire, as their only manufactured inside Arkships by an Apex.

| ===Vox Organs===
| |
| Vox are grown for nitrogen based, low-pressure environments, as they naturally live inside arkships which have all these features. Inside the body of most Primalis lie several unique organs, similar to other species but unique enough that no species has ever truly understood the breakdown of its complex structure to recreate.

| '''The Body,'''
| |
| a skeleton made of collagen and calcium phosphate. Weaved within it, a nervous and vascular system carry signals and blood over the body.

| '''The Head,'''
| |
| two eyes with bioluminescent pupils that glow in the dark. A cortical stack with the ego and spirit of a vox. This stack is responsible for the nervous system and functions to control said body and give life. A beak, made of keratin and concealing sharp rows of teeth designed for ripping flesh. A vox’s throat is grown with unique vocal cords and two tongues. This assembly of muscles, labeled “Syrinx”, is what gives Vox their signature screeching language.

| '''The Chest,'''
| |
| wherein lies a vox’s heart, two kidneys, and the stomach. Most strikingly, this stomach is capable of digesting non-organic materials. Additionally, two specialized vox lungs handle the filtration and distribution of nitrogen, from the air. The pulmonary cells inside are especially vulnerable to oxidation, making Oxygen dangerous to breathe.

| |
| '''The Limbs,'''
| |
| vox have two muscular arms, and with three phalange-like claws, composed of keratin threads and posessing opposable thumbs. Vox have two equally muscular legs, . They have three phalange-like toe claws designed for standing tall (once again, beast primalis are exempt from this rule). This makes them digitigrade by nature. Vox have a long prehensile tail that can be used like a third limb and serves to keep balance. It can grasp small things and occasionally be used to throw or slam as a defensive tactic, though this obviously depends on the size of the vox and its muscle mass. .
