True, and doubtless the various insectoid races would clean themselves
similarly, but I still think that they'd like the occasional sponge down,
and the idea of a Rastipede getting his exoskeleton waxed so he looks good
just seems right to me somehow.

And this is why, according to all the sages who study Neogi, the Neogi are
smelly and nasty. Their ancestors never engaged in any grooming behavior,
so when they became intelligent and "civilized" they never invented any
more technologically advanced grooming :)

That's a thought I hadn't considered. They do have vaguely elephant-like
behavior...
Do Dracons sweat? For that matter, how do the insectoids keep cool, or
are they cold blooded? And, what about the hairy ones, sweat or pant, or
what?

Tubas and suzaphones both... The Giff are almost certainly into marches,
which means I can see a band in a Giff bar playing the Monty Python march.
The ewok image is a bad one, but still, I can definately see their
traditional music being ewok-like.
