How are they organized? Are they powerful & mainstream, or small & obscure? Extremely devout, or more casual?

Do they genuinely love & admire them? Is it in an effort to avoid punishment or misfortune? Does their deity give them a special power?

Once again, a pretty simple one.
In your setting, are there any intelligence species that are totally non-humanoid?
Meaning non-bipedal without opposable thumbs. Or potentially possessing fins or maybe no limbs at all.
