Legend

this large, dog-like reptile was supposedly found on a remote world. Its vicious nature meant that it could rarely be exported, and only then if the handler was adept at controlling wild creatures. The onsonker's hide was a mottled purple color, and it had a series of fleshy tendrils running the length of its spine. Three heavy ear-like stalks contained the onsonker's ocular organs. Its huge head was dominated by a toothy maw, and its four legs were studded with three heavy claws. Stalking onsonkers reproduced by generating unusual seeds, much like a plant, which the onsonker placed inside a living host. The seeds then attached themselves to the stomach of the host, and fed on the nutrients they could absorb. Eventually, the infant onsonkers grew large enough to burst from their host, which they greedily consumed as their first meal.
