The Chicacenmiztli or "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.

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 domesticated breed by around -30,000. Miztli are handy companion-animals for the Zhodani and often clean pest out of Zhodani homes and starships.
