Bandara
known as the "sandbar dweller" in the Devaronian language, this beetle-like creature inhabited the rivers of Devaron. They were drift-feeders, gathering in huge swarms and resting on sandbars while feeding on the detritus that floats by. Seeing a swarm of bandaras on the river was considered good luck by Devaronian river pilots, since it warned them of shallow waters. During the mating season, male bandaras emit a coarse "singing" to attract potential mates, a drone which was intolerable by female Devaronians. They tried to wipe out the bandaras, but were unable to completely exterminate them. Male Devaronians, however, could tolerate the song of the bandaras, and were rumored to have employed mercenaries to help save the species.
