Massive, powerfully built scale-armored hexapods with long necks and double rings of teeth surrounded by a ring of narrow tendrils up to 20 cm long. These tendrils are used to supplement their hands for fine manipulation. Their tough, leathery scales are largest and thickest on their back and head and both thin and small on their limbs and underside. These scales evolved to protect them from both their world's frequent sandstorms and from the occasional solar flares that increase both radiation levels and temperatures. The outer edge of both of their forelimbs has a ridge of specially evolved scales that form a razor-sharp blade that hunting Crenduthaar use to bring down running prey.

The Crenduthaar are nomadic omnivores, that can run on four legs or stand on two. Their middle limbs can be used for either running or as high-strength, manipulators. They are equally comfortable standing on two or four legs, but spend most of the time on four legs.They average 2.5 m long and can weigh up to 500 kg. Having evolved on the planet of a dim red star, their are blind to the upper reaches of the human visual spectrum, but their large, light-sensitive eyes can also see well into the infrared spectrum. They also have a keen sense of smell. They are peaceful, philosophic, and most are stone-age by choice but learn technology easily; enslaved by the Vargr occupying their world, which they hate.

Expatriate Crenduthaar are found offworld in Deneb and Vargr space.
