Noql are large, hexapodal livestock animals, bearing a superficial resemblance to the Solomani Terran newt. Their origin is unknown, but they are best known from Zhdant (Zhodane 2719), and are commonly kept as livestock through Zhodani space. They are also exported elsewhere.

Physiology and ecology[edit]

Primitive Zhodani took notice of the Noql and began to domesticate them around -40,000, which culminated in a fully domesticated breed by around -30,000.

Noql are commonly raised in damned streams, in paddies, or in freshwater aquaculture farms.

Life Cycle and reproduction[edit]

No information yet available.

Diet and trophics[edit]

Noql eat a variety of small animals, fish, amphibians, insects, and plants.

History and background[edit]

Fossil records do not show the Noql on Zhdant before 300,000 years ago, so the Ancients brought it to the planet. It is unknown if the species was engineered by them or brought from another world.
