User:Zamra 'Vorum/Klarka

"When we were retreating from the Kardage, they released those creatures upon us. Even though most of us kept running it didn't really matter for those things were on us within a matter of seconds. I saw one man be thrown off his feet and then quickly ripped apart by their sharp claws. I saw another man trying to pry one off of him but the thing started to drool on him and within a few seconds his face melted away. I would be dead too if the Hogs hadn't arrived at that last minute.

Background
The Klarka are a non-sentient species that live on the planet Zarklear. They live in groups of 15-20 Klarka each and hunt in packs when searching for food. The Klarka have no eyes but see by sensing heat given off by a living organism, they do this through sensor organs just below the skin on their heads. They can also detect where a living being is through vibrations. Klarka have very muscular legs which allows them to run extremely fast and jump great distances, they can also use their powerful legs to pounce on prey then pin it to the ground and shred it apart with their teeth and claws. The most interesting feature about the Klarka is that they secrete a acid that is produced in sacs located in the base of their necks. This acid they secrete is very deadly and can dissolve flesh and bone within a matter of seconds. The Kardage consider this acid to be a useful weapon so they use it to create acid grenades. The Kardage also use the Klarka has guard hounds and many times as pets.
