Maybe, but they never struck me as particularly studious. Industrious, definitely (hence the Skill Focus bonus feat) and possibly a little bit mystical but not outstandingly academic. A race so skilled in biotech needed to get help from an outsider to design a holographic display, after all.
Still, with a class that has the option to go +4 to INT with the right racial variants, there's definitely nothing stopping you from playing it that way just by dint of super-high skill ranks. They make great Engineers, but black magic or Sagacity works just as well.
One thing I'm not 100% sold on, though, is portly - it doesn't quite encapsulate what it's meant to do. Perhaps somewhere down the line I'll change it to Stocky or Hearty, but for now it does it's purpose. I'm glad you like it, and I apologize that I have not done anything for the Moombas. Maybe a little down the line I'll do a monster-esque writeup for them, but that will have to wait for another day.
