Gdan
this predatory creature was native to the planet Qiilura. Gdans hunted in large packs, and cooperated to bring down prey that was much larger than any individual. The average gdan measured just thirty centimeters in length, and was a nocturnal predator. Although the teeth of a gdan were capable of tearing apart flesh, the farmers of Qiilura feared the bacteria and germs they carried in their saliva. A scratch or small bite was almost always fatal. The gdan population was kept in check because of the Gurlanin, which actually fed on the small predators. Usually, however, a Gurlanin would only kill a gdan if it was threatening an infant. Gdans created huge, underground warrens for their living areas, and emerged primarily to hunt and feed.
