History & Background (Dossier)[edit]

Until the early 900s the man-eating Tkighir was freely hunted by trigger-happy sportsmen and by smugglers who sold various parts of the creature to off-worlders as folk medicine.

In 905 the local government established sanctuaries to protect the creature from extinction.
