string PawnClassName: The Pawn class to use for that species, e.g. "xGame.xPawn".
string SpeciesName (localized): A name for the species, e.g. "Human", "Alien", "Night", etc.
int RaceNum: ?
float AirControl: Factor to apply to default air control, i.e. when pawn is jumping through the air.
float GroundSpeed: Factor to apply to default ground speed. Determines how fast the pawn can run.
float WaterSpeed: Factor to apply to water speed. Determines how fast the pawn can move in water.
float JumpZ: Factor to apply to jump height. Determines how high the pawn can jump.
float ReceivedDamageScaling: Factor to apply when this species receives damage. Might increase or decrease the received damage, e.g. for a tough species the net damage could be decreased.
float DamageScaling: Factor to apply when this species does damage to another pawn. For example, for a species having a hard punch this factor might be increased.
float AccelRate: Factor to apply to the acceleration. Determines how fast a pawn comes to its 'high-speed'.
float WalkingPct: Factor to apply to the walking speed. Determines how fast a pawn walks, when not running.
float CrouchedPct: Factor to apply to the crouching speed. Determines how fast a pawn moves when crouching.
float DodgeSpeedFactor: Factor to apply to the dodging speed. Determines (together with DodgeSpeedZ) how far a pawn can dodge.
float DodgeSpeedZ: Factor to apply to the jumping height when dodging. Determines (together with DodgeSpeedFactor) how far a pawn can dodge.

These characteristics all modify a pawn P in the function ModifyPawn by multiplication, for example:

P.JumpZ = P.Default.JumpZ * Default.JumpZ;

Note that this modification only takes place if you use the Mutator MutSpeciesStat
