Kep-mok Bloodticks

Kep-mok Bloodticks are small insects presumably native to Tev'Meck, they are apparently an important part of the Mak'Tar and a favorite of Dr. Lazarus.

Real World
In the real world these creatures would logically not exist, but it seems that the Thermians were able to engineer creatures that are at the very least similar. Alexander Dane while on the Thermian ship was given a bowl of these (along with other creatures) as a meal.
