Kwank

The Kwank is a non-sapient species native to the Earth-like planet Greenworld.

Biology
Like all major faunal organisms on Greenworld, they evolved from a six-limbed starfish-like ancestor with radial symmetry, which later developed bilateral symmetry secondarily.

Kwanks are armored beasts and ecologically analogous to Earth's anteaters. They live in the lush tropical forests and hunt for Puds. Meanwhile, Kwanks themselves appear to be preyed by larger, unseen predators.
