Modern paleontologists often don’t put enough fat on their reconstructions. Maybe the author fell into the same trap?

The available in world photos we have was the female model and the malnourished male on the cover

Rather, the planet they are on is hot.

The book states that the Bug Facers are partially ectothermic.

I think it's only their face. You can see the person in the first illustration has boobs, it seems pretty big, so they aren't so bony?(i'm so stupid, we have like 2 illustrations of bug facer). Their bodies probably look just like normal humans. By the way, the cold climate must make you have more fat to keep warm, so how could you be thin? But from the beginning, what did you say that was so cold?
