Name:  Moorwen
Homeworld:  Unknown
Type:  Super Predator
Diet:  Carnivore
Notes:  Though their original homeworld is unknown, these super predators rarely encounter opponents that can stand against them on the worlds they have currently been encountered on.  One example is a world found by Zodiac Empire exploration parties:  a colony had been set up there by a human-like species after carpet bombing and directed extermination efforts against the local Moorwen population, only at least one Moorwen had survived and was able to whipe out the undefended colonists as well as all but one of the military officers stationed there.  This world was uncovered after the ship carrying the aformentioned officer crashed on Terra, the pilot having intended to carry the bodies of the dead home only to find the Moorwen culprit had stowed away on board his ship.
After both the original Moorwen and its off-spring had been killed on Terra, albiet after a massive body count had been racked up by the creature, the ship's flight was back traced to its point of origin where landing parties encountered other surviving Moorwen.  Since then, no doubt spreading like rats did on ancient Terran sailing vessels by stowing away on various ships that landed on worlds they inhabited, Moorwens have been encountered on numerous worlds.
[b]Traits[/b]- Moorwens can produce bioluminescence in most colors of the visible spectrum, most commonly red.  This glowing is used to attract prey and seem also to portray feelings such as anger.- Moorwens have thick skin resistant to fire and invulnerable to damage from common metals.- Moorwens have long, thin tails sharp enough to cut flesh, skin, bone, and some building materials.- Moorwens are extremely fast with exceptional reflexes; they can often kill an enemy before it has the time to ready a weapon such as a sword.- Moorwens are good swimmers and can hold their breath for a long time.- Moorwens pile up body parts from which their offspring feast upon.- Moorwens are able to hunt by means of stealth, although they are also very capable of running down prey in broad daylight. They prefer to use a lightning fast pounce to take out their victims, which they store and consume either dead or alive.
[b]Notes[/b]
As a super predator, Moorwens are considered one of the most dangerous known creatures by the Zodiac Empire.  With how lethal this species is, they can easily whipe out life on an unprepared planet in a relatively short amount of time.  Moorwens are a species that is heavily black listed from all Zodiac Empire worlds and any sightings are considered serious enough that they are on the mandatory investigate list of the Zodiac Empire.
