Fiction:Grom'maa

The Cruy say the Grom'Maa came from the sky in a pillar of fire, made a large hole in the earth, and emerged from a battered hole in the huge and sphere-shaped rock that had fallen. Galaah and Go'oamaa both emerged after him. The Cruy, a kind and generous people, tended to their wounds and marveled at their shining clothing. Soon, the three unknown beings were well again. They gathered various supplies on the planet, carefully tended their fallen rock, and talked with the Cruy natives. In about a Cruy week (equivalent to about seven months on Earth), Grom'Maa, Galaah, and Go'oamaa left the planet on an enormous pillar of fire and never returned.

The Cruy naturally believed that these creatures were some sort of omnipotent beings. They celebrated the arrival every Cruy year and carved the creatures' heads on mud tablets. Only three of the tablets remain, and the one that is complete shows a four-eyed alien with what appears to be a Grubblemaw mouth and a long skinny neck. However, the tablet does not show the being from the neck down and no one knows what the creatures' bodies looked like. Judging by the head shape, the beak and the number of eyes, the creature is a member of the Belleaegis genus, which were probably wiped out by the Grox around three hundred Earth years after their encounter with the Cruy.

Grom'Maa, Galaah, and Go'oamaa were written into the Cruy's Eternal Book, and there is still a national celebration for the creatures, whom the Cruy believe helped them discover space travel.
