VIGS

Vigs, also known as Vigils, are a fictional species appearing in the science fiction universe of Mass Effect. They are a highly intelligent, sentient species native to the planet Parnassus, a world characterized by extreme gravity and a dense atmosphere. Vigs are known for their unique physiological adaptations that allow them to thrive in such a harsh environment. They possess a dense skeletal structure and muscular system, enabling them to withstand the crushing gravity. Their respiratory system is also highly specialized, capable of extracting oxygen from their planet's thick atmosphere.

Physically, Vigs are typically described as stout and powerfully built. They have multiple limbs, often six, which are used for locomotion and manipulation. Their sensory organs are adapted to low-light conditions and the atmospheric conditions of Parnassus. Vigs are known for their stoic and pragmatic nature, a trait often attributed to the demanding conditions of their homeworld. Their society is highly organized and emphasizes efficiency and collective well-being.

In the Mass Effect games, Vigs are not a playable race or a major faction. They are encountered as non-player characters and are often depicted as traders, technicians, or members of various organizations that operate across the galaxy. Their technology is considered advanced, particularly in fields related to gravity manipulation and environmental engineering. Despite their limited direct role in the main narrative, the Vigs represent the diversity of life and the remarkable adaptability of species within the Mass Effect universe.
