The Z'krall of Moncton (Diaspora 2125) are a technologically primitive Minor Non-Human Race with a Non-humanoid appearance.
Description (Specifications)[edit]
The Z'krall (or Swarmer, as Humans often know them) are shaggy, quadrocular multipeds.
Z'krall grow more legs as they become older and larger. Up to nine radially-arranged legs have been observed on old specimens.
The Z'krall are adapted to an exotic atmosphere incompatible with Human biology.
History & Background (Dossier)[edit]
Most noteworthy, the Z'krall species has a complex society but no apparent means of communicating. It has no sound-producing organs, signalling plumage, or other structure typically used for transmitting information. This has puzzled scientists for centuries.
In 1108 the means of communication was accidentally discovered. The clouds of insect-like "idiot gnats" that accompany the Z'krall are actually cellular repeaters for extremely high-frequency radio emissions from the Z'krall. The gnats are produced within the Z'krall bodies, secreted in their waste, and nourished by secretions on their skin; they function as mobile, reconfigurable antennae for the Z'krall. Once researchers made this breakthrough, they contacted the Z'krall by radio, and discovered that they had an unusual facility for linguistics.
Urbanization[edit]
The Z'krall are natural miners and builders, and while primitive technologically, build cities and pathways both above and below the surface of their world, existing on a diet of silicate deposits.
