Satiron

The satirons are a species of saurians from the planet Satic.

Biology
The satirons resemble terrestrial dinosaurs from Earth, though unlike their Earth counterparts, they survived the extinction level event that wiped out the dinosaurs. There appears to be mostly carnivorous with brown hides and stood only at a height of five meters or so. The satirons were believed to be highly intelligent and although they didn’t actually speak human words the Empire's translation system managed to decipher a rough language. At present, there is still a debate on whether or not the satirons possessed true intelligence.
