Ludos
Hailing from the forest world Ganlihk, the ludos is an inoffensive creature typically found in abundance in the rivers and swamps of that planet. Its only known predators are the Ganlihk rippers and several types of carnivorous fish indigenous to that world. The ludos diet consists primarily of fish and fruit. It prefers to bask for long hours in the treetops, coming down in the coolness of the early morning hours to feed on the remnants left by other predators. When fish are not available it will opt to forage among the various fruit trees native to Ganlihk wetlands.

Ludos communicate with others of their kind through a set of trilling vocalizations which are known to have a soothing effect on Humanoid nervous systems. For this reason, ludos have often been trapped and sold as pets throughout the Ganlihk system. The novelty of their naturally occurring bioluminescence and their docility enhance their trade value.

Special Abilities:
Bioluminescence: Ludos have chemical compounds in their bloodstream which give off a natural phosphorescent light. This multi-colored illumination aids the ludos in navigating through murky waters and acts as a naturally occurring defensive mechanism.
Luminescence Control: Ludos can often scare off would-be predators by a sudden burst of bright bioluminescence, raning from a blazing red to brilliant white. If all else fails, the ludos will change to a dull black color and play dead in hopes the confused attacker will move off.
Tentacles: Ludos tentacles are well-developed. These are used primarily to sift through mud and silt, catching small game with its multiple suckers. On land, these manipulative appendages assist in movement through and along forest growth (+1D to any climbing/jumping rolls).
