The Sokhkhun and the Nolrrgarrai are symbiotic lifeforms native to Lair, the Vargr homeworld.
- The two species are hunting partners, aiding and benefitting from each other in the tracking down of prey of all kinds.
Physiology & Ecology[edit]
Massing around 450 kg and measuring around 3.0 meters in length, and covered in a dense furry pelt, Sokhkhun have fang-filled mouths and long curved claws.
Diet & Trophics[edit]
The Sokhkhun catch and rapidly kill prey, typically targets weakened by its attendant pack of Nolrrgarrai, fearsome hunters in their own right.
History & Background[edit]
Some Terran biologists compare the two species to great white sharks and lampreys, except that the lampreys in this case aid and abet the larger hunter, feasting on its leftovers as well as subsiding on the blood of the larger predator.
Vargr have long admired the relationship between the creatures: corsair and raider vessels are often named after this interesting biological duo.[1]
Travellers' Aid Society Advisory[edit]
The Travellers' Aid Society (TAS) classifies the Sokhkhun as very dangerous to most sophonts and advises extreme caution with regard to this creature.
