Notes:  A marvel of the animal kingdom, the Bangirasu is currently the only known species that isn't an insect which has a pupal stage between the juvenile and adult phases of life.  These reptiles are carnivores, though their body design prevents a member of the Bangirasu species from being the fastest or most agile predators.
Spread across several worlds in multiple star systems, no doubt by Preserver action, Bangirasu prefer to live in mountainous terrain.  This allows them to compensate for their lack of speed and agility by using their bulk to corner prey animals.
