Actually, the Droyne count as hexapodal as well. 2 arms, 2 legs, 2 
wings.

The droyne are *far* closer to the K'kre than either is to the 
Hivers. 

Hivers are obvious evolved from a starfish equivalent that went land 
dwelling.

K'kree are from a fish-amphibian-reptile-mammal type progression, 
just like hunans and horses.

Droyne are fish-amphibian-reptile-bird(?) progression.

there's a *huge* evolutionary gap between "fish" and "starfish".
