P'flar

When Jalaxians are born their fur is thin and patchy, some races on the planet actually being born furless. This fur takes time to grow in and the areas around the buttocks, genitals and stomach tend to take the longest. The period when a young Jalaxian begins growing the last of their fur is refurred to as P'flar and typically begins around the the start of school age. Prior to the Brin Treatment (which is an adaptation of the Fujikawara and Kensington treatments) this usually started between ages 5 and 8, but thanks to the Brin Treatment it can start as late as onset of puberty and continue into the teenage years.
