Additional Information
Quallins are duck-like creatures with six limbs (eight including wings). The odd feature of the Quallin is that their wings are located on the upper thigh of the hind set of legs. On their rear ends are a pair of poisonous barbs that contain a near lethal poison that when injected causes hallucinations and near-death experiences. The stripes on its back signifies age, they grow longer as they get old, so the ones with the longest stripes are the oldest. Their four legs allow them to jump with maximum height and distance. This combined with their high-powered wings allows for superior flight. Scientists originally observed these creatures as a small mission to discover minor life forms, but the Quallin were nothing like that. They had superior intelligence and were on the brink of tribal development. Scientists requested immediate funding to further observe the Quallin.

Tribal Stage Observation
After numerous Creatures Staged observations, the Quallin finally created Tribal communities. They were a somewhat Adaptive group, keeping their own interests ahead of the other tribes' fates. After systematically eliminating two tribes, the Quallin befriended two other tribes, gaining access to such items as Fishing Hooks. The Quallin then, with the aid of the other two tribes defeated the remaining super-tribe. Sometime after this, the Quallin evolved into a Civilization.

Civilization Stage Observations
No observations were made on the Quallin during their civilization stage as all scientific observation ships were intercepted and destroyed in the Fraxxian War. When the Fraxxian war did end however, the Quallin had evolved into a full space-faring species. Despite numerous requests for scientific purposes, the Quallin refuse to give any data on their Civilization Stage behaviour. (Recently however, a file has surfaced, showing massive genocide amongst their nations. The accuracy of this document is currently in question)

Space-Faring Observations
The Quallin Empire have proven themselves to be a formidable force in their galaxy operating from their home planet of Tagnatus. They seem to spread their territory quickly, inhabiting numerous planets in short periods of time.
