The Kal are one of the many species under the thrall of the Arlatans after the latter invaded their world and enslaved them.
Biology[]
Kal are roughly the size of a human with thick set with a curved back like a shell. A wide head sits directly on their bodies, with no sign of a neck. They stand only one thick leg to hold them upright. Four tiny black eyes set deep within the coarse olive skin. Their hands are really small and dumpy. A row of square grey teeth covered in clear slime lines their mouths. Kal are able to curl into a ball and rolls for movement, like a giant woodlouse. When curled they have that large ridge, like an exposed spine, runs all the way down their shell.
Culture[]
Kal serve as the muscle for the Arlatan, acting as enforcers on Prison Ships and bodyguards for their masters on the Mother Ships.
Kal seem to favor wielding ballams, something resembling a large hammer to bludgeon uncooperative human cattle.
Kal communicate via growls that rumble from the backs of their throats.
