A non-sophont animal native to Galatea.

These bird-like creatures nest high in the cliffs of Galatea's many islands, within easy reach of ocean prey. They are narrow-bodied, with long, slight wings, and can attain flight speeds of over 160 kph in Galatea's oxygen-dense atmosphere. They range far out to sea, where they feed not only on live ocean-going animals but on the carrion of Satha kills. The Asaii show no fear of storms, and indeed seem almost to revel in them -- surely the only creatures on Galatea to do so.
