Manikon
although not native to Coruscant, this race of beings found a home in the subsurface caverns of the cityscape on the planet. It was believed that the Manikons were part of a race which tore itself apart in a devastating civil war, and that the survivors managed to flee to Coruscant. The Manikons were scavengers, and spent much of their time hunting for food and trinkets in the underworld fo Coruscant. Over the generations, Manikons evolved to move about on all-fours, but could stand upright when attacking their targets. Their feet were wide and heavy, and were used to pummel or trample their prey. When cornered, or when confronted with a larger target, Manikons could spit a stining venom into their prey's eyes, temporarily blinding the prey while the Manikon attacked.
