The Rynkatropa of Zoe (Gvurrdon 2334) are a technologically primitive Minor Non-Human Race with a non-humanoid appearance.

Description (Specifications)

The Rynkatropa are a Minor Race who resemble ambulatory sea slugs with three pseudopods that they use to manipulate objects and move on land, and who communicate by whistling. They have four sexes (male, female, neuter and incubator).

History & Background (Dossier)

Vargr bands colonized Zoe and conquered the Rynkatropa, who at the time had barely reached TL–1, in the hopes of turning the slugs into slaves.

Later Eras

Strangely, it was discovered that the Ryankatropa happened to be good eating. Eventually, the slave plan was set aside in favor of just eating them. When the food source dried up, the Vargr moved on. The system was left vacant.
