Kin Kimdyara

Kin Kimdyara was a scientist of the Human variety, and identified as male. He was known for his tendency to initially name newly discovered species after existing ones based on shared traits, only to later rename them. A prime example of this was the long-necked gundark from Kharzet III. He observed that the long-necked gundark possessed a volatile disposition, similar to that of the authentic gundark, despite the fact that the two species were unrelated and looked nothing alike.

Unfortunately, Kimdyara's life ended only a few days after documenting his findings. Consequently, any subsequent notes that might have provided a unique name for the species were never found, resulting in the creatures remaining known as "long-necked gundarks."
