Drathan Puppy Lig

A Drathan Puppy Lig is a non-sapient alien species.

Biology
Measuring about 30 cm in length, Drathan Puppy Ligs are arthropod-like creatures that move around using the locomotory cilia that cover the underside of their bodies. The cilia also serve to filter all kinds of single-celled microbes that the Puppy Ligs feed upon.

Drathan Puppy Ligs are playful, affectionate creatures that can be kept as pets, and are known for crawling all over their owners, feeding on microbes on their owners' skin, which also helps to prevent diseases. They have a pair of feathery antennae that flap according to their emotions.
