Kirithin


The kirithin, a predatory amphibious species, inhabited various planets scattered across the Outer Rim Territories. Its body was shielded by thick, resilient scales, and its elongated frontal fins served a dual purpose: enabling movement on terrestrial surfaces and facilitating the capture of its victims. A sensory appendage located on its head acted as a lure, enticing potential meals towards the kirithin's gaping mouth, where rows of exceptionally sharp teeth would swiftly dissect them.
