A Gruut is a small (20.0 kg) herbivore.

  • The Trokh name for these creatures is kehe'ea.

Description (Specifications)[edit]

It is found on the Aslan-inhabited worlds of Oihoiei (Reaver's Deep 0230), Khyaleiftaoher (Reaver's Deep 0332), Hrike (Reaver's Deep 0530), and Hrealeiwea' (Reaver's Deep 0531).

Life Cycle & Reproduction[edit]

The female gruut lays up to eight eggs per season -- but subsequently eats one or more eggs herself (an unusual instinct-driven reaction, apparently to keep the gruut population from exceeding the local area's ability to support it). The mother places the remaining eggs in two large hip pouches where they remain until they hatch. Once they hatch, the mother cares for the offspring until they are old enough to fend for themselves (about 60 standard days).

Diet & Trophics[edit]

Nocturnal by nature, gruuts mostly eat water grasses and some small fruits.

History & Background (Dossier)[edit]

To-date, efforts to make pets of them have been unsuccessful.
