Iridessian genders

An early Rennaisance marble bust of the influential Iridessian philosopher Chanstimanius Block. As can be seen from the shape of his head, he was male.

The Iridessian species has so many genders that it needs its own article. (32 in total, plus 5 in the unofficial expansion pack.)

Here's a list of some:

A list of some:

1. Male. Fairly similar to the human male form, except with cube-shaped face. The reason this is a separate gender is because the head is incompatible with the dodecahedron hole of some of the other genders.
2. Female. Very similar to the human female form, except with a really long arm. This feature is mainly for hunting. Male Iridessians are ineffective at hunting, because their heads are not aerodynamic, so the females evolved long arms for basically just grabbing prey from a distance.
3. Very Female. This is basically what you get when you take a picture of a woman and a picture of a man and let a computer extrapolate to 200% woman. They also have 4 breasts but still only 2 nipples.
4. Cheese.
5. Light people. Because they're made entirely of photons, they're incompatible with all other genders.
6. Crittergems. Also called Shimmerlings. People of this gender are incredibly short, sometimes amounting to only a head with feet. Their bodies are entirely made out of Iridessian crystals, which gives them great control over the magical Gauthic energies that pervade the Iridessian Empire. However, they are often discriminated against for their small size, and, as a result, tend to work as servants for other people. Crittergems form during scenes of great emotion nearby a field of Iridessian crystals. This method has been used to farm them. They can also reproduce, in a process when the parent Crittergems allow some of they consciousness to be sapped by a Cognesiast, after which they slam the Cognesiast into a crystal at a high velocity, infusing the crystal with sentience with a 35% probability.
7. Cognesiasts. These are dog-sized slime-covered brain blobs with tentacle-like protrusions that allow them to slither around. They feed on the consciousness of other creatures. They are formed when an Iridessian fetus that would normally be either Male, Female, or Very Female ends up getting neither male nor female chromosomes from their parents, which prevents their body from developing. As a result, all energy during pregnancy goes to the brain. Cognesiasts usually only live to the age of 15, due to the debilitating energy cost of puberty. The exception to this is if they reproduce asexually before this time, by splitting apart. This reduces the complexity of each individual Brainlet, allowing them to pass through puberty relatively unharmed. After puberty has passed, they sometimes reunite into one big brain again, though this usually results in personality disorders. After this point, the Gognesiast can continue to grow by absorbing consciousness, and keep splitting apart indefinitely.
8. The Florim. This gender consists of normal Males who are convered in flowers and other elegant looking plants, as their body is infused with a semiotic plant structure. This results when, during an early stage of pregnancy, an incompletely digested plant seed reaches the fetus, and starts growing on it. This also happens to Female fetuses, but results in their death, because while usually the long arm of the Female fetus is a soft spaghetti-like noodle during gestation, the plant matter causes it to prematurely harden and straighten, ripping open the womb and killing the mother. Since all Florim are Male, can only mate with other Florim via pollination. However, they can also mate with normal Females.
