A Zarchy is an omnivore/gatherer.
Physiology & Ecology[edit]
Zarchy are the largest creatures on their home planet of Granicus, standing from 10 to 12 feet tall at the shoulders. Zarchy are among the stupidest animals ever found on any planet, anywhere. Because of their stupidity, and the toughness of their hide, they have never developed a fear of other creatures; unless something startles them, they are content to stand around eating trees and other vegetation.
Life Cycle & Reproduction[edit]
Zarchy are always encountered in herds of about 20 animals. While traveling, the herd leader changes frequently, as one gets tired and drops back, another comes forward to take its place. Zarchy calves tend to stay close to their mothers until they are about three (Granicus) years old. Zarchy can live more than 60 local years.
Diet & Trophics[edit]
Their necks extend another 2 to 3 feet above their shoulders, and are used to reach the branches and leaves upon which the Zarchy feed.
History & Background / Dossier[edit]
Zarchy are sometimes raised in herds for food; their meat is lean and tangy. They are never hunted, there's no challenge to it.
