I think it's the descriptions you get when you examine stuff, personally.

If I may point out, florans don't seem that viscous, including the end of the codex entries when you first spawn as a floran, sure the descriptions may be bloody and they are mostly seen as killing machines, but that's just a separation of ethics from intelligence.

Like dwarves! But with more ethical capabilities!

Its the lissssp. It makes them seem vulnerable when combined with their infantile language and lack of moral structure.

They're like three year olds dressed all in flowers who casually kill and eat anything that moves.

Adorable.

If I remember correctly, flowers from normal plants are used so bees will come pollinate said flowers with pollen from others.

So the giant flowers on top of their heads is either to use for bees getting.... Ahem, 'baby juice' stuck on their legs to go to other florans and pollinate them, or the flowers are basically something to attract other florans to pollinate each other.

That's just.... Dandy!
Plus they seem quite oddly intelligent from how fast they adapted apex tech and from what I read up on their bio, they seem to be in a sort of hivemind unless one leaves the group in which case the loner is pretty much ostracised.
This is oddly dark.

I don't think they're a hivemind. The Glitch are, but I haven't heard any of such about the Floran.

The descriptions are a big part of it, but the lisp and the naturalistic aesthetic are both contributing factors as well.

Incidentally, there's a back-slot decor item you can get that's basically a giant pink flower with the little folds of a bluish bud. Hopefully it'll be dye-able once dyes work.

Here, here:
Quote
Introducing space travel to the primitive Florans had the undesired effect of Floran colonies spanning across star systems, each with their own customs and levels of aggression. Despite this, individual Florans have been known to split apart from their society to lead their own lives in isolation or in the solace of other races, at the cost of being cut off from the collective and considered enemies of all flora for good.
That's from the starbound wiki, I'll link it in fact.

Note that "collective" does not imply "hivemind".
