Tantlas were single-eyed scavengers that originated on the planet Ealor.
These creatures possessed elongated tongues, reaching one meter in length and tipped with suckers, which they used for feeding. The total length of a Tantla, including its tail, was approximately three meters, and they stood about a meter tall. Due to the desirability of their flesh to the predatory graiveh and their soft fur to hunters, restrictions on hunting them were necessary to avoid their complete disappearance.
Tight-knit family units, consisting of ten to twelve Tantlas, exhibited robust protective instincts. The mothers nurtured their young for roughly a year, with all adults within the group contributing to their care. While typically inhabiting rain forests, they demonstrated adaptability by thriving in desert plateaus and frozen wastelands as well.
