The kakapoy is a creature native to the planet Ishtar.
Biology[]
Vaguely like a huge snail with a horrible sharp proboscis. It was a snail-like predator on the planet, it was an ambusher, that lurked high in the clusters of idu thickets. It would drop down on its prey and kill them with a venomous stinger. The venom was not designed to kill Terran life-forms, but it was more than toxic enough to do the job.
