Strannat

The StrannatFarscape: The Illustrated Season 3 Companion, p. 30SciFi.com Farscape Journey Logs "Thanks for Sharing" (archive) is an aquatic, crab-like creature seen in the Farscape episode "Thanks for Sharing."
On Kanvia, the Strannat is used as a lie detector. They can sense brainwaves and are particularly responsive to cognitive dissonance. The Strannat owned by the Rinic family was trained to kill when it senses a lie, which it does so by burying its spiked tail into the victim's forehead. According to Pralanoth, there have been a few rare cases in which those with a very disciplined mind were able to fool the Strannat.
Both John Crichton and Tolven were subject to the Strannat's test. While Crichton survived the ordeal, Tolven was not as lucky.
