They're covered in scilia to better enable pollen to cling to them. To the touch quarians are extremely soft, however the scilia can sometimes cause other beings (namely asari, humans, or batarians) to itch. They also pose a danger to a non quarian's eyes should they contaminate them.

Their compound eyes are a deep red or pink, and glow faintly due to occular implants all quarians have implanted when they reach maturity.

They are excellent jumpers and bounders, but tire easily. They are poor marathon runners as a result. The thigh muscles on males and females are extremely well developed, allowing for a powerful kick capable of doing serious damage to a human. In addition, females have dewclaws on the outer edge of each foot which can inflict deep cuts on unprotected tissue.

I don't know where to begin but I'll do my best.

They have to wear suits all the time because they have really weak immune systems. Any foreign material getting in their body and they'll get violently ill and die. Only they don't have a weak immune system they actually have a really strong one. Their immune system overreacts to any contaniments, even just dust or skin flakes. This allergic reaction is what kills them.

This happened because on their homeworld there were no insects of any kind. Instead planets reproduced by relying on mammals to spread pollen. On their homeworld viruses were usually benefifical in some ways so quarians evolved a weak immune system as there was no need to resist viral infections.

Does that make any sense?
