One of the most ferocious of all warm-blooded predators in the Agarix sector, the arqet is a murderous predator inhabiting the mountain ranges of the planet Pellastrallas. A solitary hunter, arqets feed off of various smaller animals such as the Ixzinian rock ram and the Uthori breix that inhabit the region.
The arqet combines sure-footedness, numerous dense plates of rigid hide, and piercing, sharp teeth for a bundle of rampaging death. Yet for all this power, the arqet survives mainly by its ability to remain hidden until the very last minute. Arqet patience is legendary. In the presence of a potential victim an arqet is capable of remaining immobile - to all appearance virtually rock-like - until its prey is within range, at which point it attacks by skewering the unfortunate victim on its horns.
Even in the presence of armed Humanoids, arquets have been known to take damage from energy and slug-throwing weapons without flinching in hopes of dissuading its attackers or to lure the confused assailant in closer for a last, desperate lunge. |
