The Kraspers live on a windswept world close to their sun. They begin their lifecycle in one location, never to return, as they are blown across the landscape. As a result, they have evolved many arms and legs for gripping the rocks, trees, and other obstacles they encounter along the way. Their reflective bodies protect them from the harsh sun.
They are born in the x-shape you see here, which makes it easier for their parents to herd them together.
They can disguise themselves when needed as Leonardo DiCaprio.
