Screech (Creature) Synopsis

The "Screech," as they are commonly known in Imperial space, are small, hexapodal (six-legged) comfort animals, bearing a superficial resemblance to the Solomani Terran cat, originating from Zhdant, and are commonly kept as pets through Zhodani space and exported elsewhere.

Screech (Creature) Physiology & Ecology

The Screech (Chicacenmiztli) evolved on Zhdant as carnivore/pouncers until the primitive Zhodani took notice of the "Miztli" and began to domesticate them around -40,000, which culminated in a fully domesticable breed by around -30,000. Miztli are handy companion-animals for the Zhodani and often clean pest out of Zhodani homes and starships.

Screech (Creature) Diet & Trophics

Screech eat almost any variety of small animals or raw meat.

Screech (Creature) History & Advisory

The common "Screech" derives it's Human name from the peculiar noises it makes and is known as the "Chicacenmiztli" in the Zhodani tongue, which means "Six-cat." The Zhodani sometimes call "Chicacenmiztli" "Miztli" for short.
