- Name: Wyrtgaon
- Designation: Semi-Sentient
- Origins: Sraeljoarsk
- Average Lifespan: ~50 years
- Estimated Population: Rare
- Description: Quadrupedal terrestrial movement with their frontal talons curled away from the ground, a galloping gate when they 'sprint' across the ground, and large leathery wings define the Wyrtgaon as intimidating and strange creature. While in their quadrupedal position, their head rests at about two meters off the ground. Their wingspan is a total of six meters,.
- Breathes: Type I & Type II
- Average Height of Adults: ~2m
- Average Length of Adults: ~3m
- Average Wingspan of Adults: ~6m
- Skin color: dark blacks, browns, some accents of reds or pinks
- Hair color: N/A
- Distinctions: Multi-part mandible clearly defines them from other bat-like species in the galaxy, including their comparatively enormous size.
- Races: N/A
- Force Sensitivity: High
- Natural climbers that can cling to and scale surfaces that are several degrees beyond vertical.
- Their large wings provide ample surface area to use for extreme gliding maneuvers and short bursts of true flight, despite their own weight.
- Force Sensitivity:
- Those that are Force Sensitive have the innate ability to manifest a durable Force Barrier around themselves in a sphere, in addition to charging up a Force Push from their hind legs much like the Jakobeast. While they are unable to maintain this combination of force powers for a prolonged period of time, while they are in this state the Wyrtgaon are capable of reaching speeds comparable to most starfighters in the atmosphere. Technically this enables the Wyrtgaon to travel in space. However, the Wyrtgaon is wholly incapable of surviving extraterrestrial environments and will die quickly upon leaving breathable atmosphere or the extreme temperatures of space.
- The Wrytgaon are incapable of true flight and are instead dependent on scaling tall structures in order to gain velocity so that they may glide.
- The Wyrtgaon are not inherently a very durable species, much like other aerial species, and has little protection against blasters, physical weapons, or otherwise. In the wild the Wyrtgaon are ambush predators that swoop in at speed, killing their prey before their prey has a chance to react.
- Any Force Sensitive Wyrtgaon cannot reap the benefits of their connection to the Force while under the effects of auras, fields, technology or otherwise that severe the connection of beings from the Force for duration of effect. Auras, fields, technology, or otherwise that destabilize or otherwise weaken connections to the Force have their desired effects upon the Wyrtgaon as well for the duration of the effect.
- Diet: Carnivore
- Communication: Body posturing, clicks, and shrieks
- Technology level: N/A
- Religion/Beliefs: N/A
- General behavior: Aggressive, communal colonies hierarchical, territorial, a predator species.
The Wyrtgaons crawl upon the ground in a quadrupedal fashion, their frontal talons curled away from the ground as to protect them from dulling over time on the rocky spires that serve as their roost. While incapable of true flight over vast distances, the Wyrtagon naturally excel at climbing rough surfaces - even those that are several degrees beyond vertical. Their large, leathery wings serve for rocketing downwards and performing impressive gliding maneuvers and gliding over long distances.
Many Wyrtgaon have a sensitivity to the Force. This sensitivity imbues the Wyrtgaon with the ability to manifest both Force Barrier and type of Force Push that enables the Wyrtgaon to travel at speeds that rival that of atmospheric fighters for a moderate amount of time. However, those without Force sensitivity are still a danger to those who are unaware of the sky above. The Wyrtgaon is considered to be one of the highest ranking fauna on the food chain on their home planet of Sraeljoarsk. The Wyrtgaon is not an exceedingly hearty beast, however it can breath both Type I and Type II atmospheres without issue. With time a Wyrtgaon can be trained to serve as a mount for most large or smaller species, or used for the quick transport of goods. However, they are a predator species; the Wyrtgaon will attack what it sees as easy prey even if that would be it's current or former master.
