Legend

this segmented, flying insect was one of the few indigenous creatures which survived the reformation of the planet Brentaal. Many species died out when colonists brought new plants and animals tot he planet, in the hopes of making it more hospitable. The kundril, with its long, flat body and menacing mandibles, survived by taking to the seas, flying across the water to locate remote islands where the colonists did not reach. Several seagoing subspecies evolved over time, while the land-based species virtually died out. Kundrils usually hunted in swarms, using their mandibles to slice and bludgeon their prey. They remained airborne for long periods of time, thanks to their four wings and gas-filled body sections. Most kundrils were blue or green in color, although the Imperial kundril was easily distinguished by its red and gold coloration.
