Nightstalker

Apex predators of the Kashitir Jungles of Krell, the nightstalker is a large carnivorous mammal with canine and feline traits, with a slender body, short black fur, no tail and deep black reptilian eyes. It has long pearlescent fangs in its elongated snout and retractable claws in its powerful large paws. It is a mysterious and terrifying fact of life for Elgans needing to brave the jungles, having appeared suddenly in living memory rather than evolving on the planet over time, and unsubstantiated rumors suggest that the Fantom Laboratories offices in Biloxan are to blame.

Notably, nightstalker blood is slightly acidic, and can be processed to create a drug called Nictin, which the Elgan Collectivee has deemed a controlled substance, making its use and manufacture illegal. Its fangs are valued as accessories by some modern Elgan subcultures.
