Creature:Arkoon

The Arkoon are a fairly new space-faring race native to the planet Yiipmite. They hold very little territory in the galaxy, with their only extraterrestrial colony situated on the hot, lava covered moon that orbits their planet. The Arkoon are, however, very resourceful and have already set up major trade routes with other empires. This is mostly due to their planet's abundance of a variety of yellow spice, which is highly valued in their sector of the galaxy.

Biology
Arkoon bear many reptilian and avian characteristics. They have a relatively soft beak used to tear at the soft-skinned fruits that grow on Yiipmite. Meat is eaten on occasion, but is not typically favoured in Arkoonian diet. They have upward-facing tails that have a cartilaginous spike at the tip, which is used as means of defence. Arkoons also have long, flexible insect-like wings that enable them to fly short distances.

Technology
The Arkoon poses a range of land/air/sea vehicles, including their prized starship, the harbringer. Arkoonian land vehicles tend to be economy-driven in design. Examples of such vehicles include the "oreo", which was named affectionately after a popular cookie given it's similar colour.
