Physiology & Ecology

The Screech (Chicacenmiztli) evolved on Zhdant as carnivore/pouncers until the primitive Zhodani took notice of the "Miztli" and began to domesticate them around -40,000, which culminated in a fully domesticated breed by around -30,000. Miztli are handy companion-animals for the Zhodani and often clean pest out of Zhodani homes and starships.
