Legend

this creature, native to the planet Ealor, was the favored prey of the graiveh. The average tantla measured just over a meter in height and three meters in length, including the tail. They were hunted for their warm, supple pelt, and regulations had to be put in place to ensure the native populations were not decimated. These creatures had a strong family relationship, living and hunting in groups of ten or so individuals in the equatorial regions of the planet. Tantla offspring stayed with their mothers for over a year, and were earnestly protected by the older males. Tantlas had poor vision, a result of the fact that they had a single eye in the center of their face. Tantlas scavenged for their food, using their sucker-tipped tongues to draw in pieces of food.
