Creature:Lyrawk

Lyrawks are a race of slug-like aliens which feed upon roots. Through the years they have been oppressed excessively, and they either take this out on other races or become xenophobia protesters.

Natural History
When modern Lyrawks were first evolving, their homeplanet of Leeryk was known as Ha'yarah, as they were not the main sentient race. Ha'yarah was the homeplanet of aliens known as Knight Arions. The Knight Arions we're a vicious race, and when a civil war broke out the race went extinct and Ha'yarah was reduced to a barren, lifeless rock. Or at least so it seemed, however, the Lyrawks and some other creatures had survived and we're living on the little resources available. Gradually, the now unnamed planet began to recover.
