Brevnian Poppleworm – Short and fat invertebrate from Branta that is a nutritious food for travellers lost in the wastes.

Cannasley – Horse-sized creature from Entall with an oversized head filled with jagged teeth used to rend its victims to pieces.  Amazingly fast, Cannasley’s were hunted for their hoofs.

Celador – Huge, Jelly-fish like creatures that swarm around the Soluman Delta Gulf, causing mayhem and danger to the vast flows of traffic in the area.  Well over a kilometre in length and width, these docile, semi-intelligent creatures occasionally stray from their feeding grounds into busy areas.  During mating season, when emotions are charged and fighting for mates is fierce, they can go on the attack.  Instances of Celador attacks on populated worlds are rare but recorded, most notably the attack on the twin system worlds of Mornotor.

Chills – Small, rodent creatures from the world of Ruuthorne, Chills live on the open plains between the cracks in the dried soils and sands, using their speed and size to escape larger predators.

Coryarthanax - One of the single most dangerous creatures in the entire Setnin Sector, the Coryarthanax was unleashed upon the galaxy after an accident involving the infamous Pillot Alvarna.  After years of crossbreeding and genetic manipulation Glann Cipple's ideas of a loyal warrior race were set back when a transporter carrying the creatures to the research planet of Repusub crashed and the creatures were unleashed.  Capable of breeding at a tremendous rate, the creatures are more like a massive infection and require treating with extreme prejudice.  Blessed with limited intelligence, the Coryarthanax lives to eat, breed and kill.  A powerful muscular frame is supported by a strong internal and external skeleton, giving it a bony appearance.  Long limbs, including two stubby arms protruding from the chest aid manipulation of its prey and a long coiling tail is used as a weapon of deadly ability.  With a head that grows directly from between the shoulders, the creature has a snake like appearance.  Authorities around the sector have found eradicating the creatures to be more than a little difficult.  Their ability to secrete their larvae onboard ships bound for other worlds has made them a much-hated species.  Elements of this creature were spliced into the genetic make-up of the Goah Galletti clone.  See also: Coryarthanax

Renin Lizard – Bright red lizard that lived on a diet of insects and small mammals found often on Marner.

Rillers – One of the most deadly creatures in the Setnin Sector, these were native to the world of Janos.  Deadly even at great distance, these small, half metre high creatures appeared amiable enough, but once within their lethal spitting range they always attacked, and with an accuracy that was almost uncanny their venom only had to touch bare skin for their victim to be condemned to a slow paralysis and the prospect of the pack eating their flesh while they helplessly watched.

Rorak – Meter-tall carnivorous creature native to the low foothills of Histai and a staple part of the diet of every Histai native.

One metre long with sharp teeth and claws, Sraw Rats fly into a feeding frenzy when left without food for a protracted period.  Powerful and swift, Sraw Rats hunt in packs and rarely allow their prey to escape.  Naaven Torr would readily testify to this - if he were still in one piece to do so.

Stagobison - Powerful pack-herd animals that moved in tremendous numbers across the plains of the planet Legin.

Strark – Creature found on many Setnin worlds, the Strark was a mid-sized insectoid creature that roamed cityscapes, eating up unwanted ore, metal, granite, waste, anything not needed or collected by society.  It wasn’t uncommon for bodies to disappear down the gullet of these ever-hungry creatures.

Wignog - A simian creature from the Trefnare System with two sets of upper limbs and powerful rear legs.  Short spiky fur makes it look almost comical.  It is capable of simple tasks but tires quickly and prefers to play, making it a mischievous creature.  Scientists believe that the Wignog is capable of much more, but professionals remain divided on exactly how intelligent the creatures are.  On certain worlds it is considered slavery to own one, doubling the punishment.

Yulp – Unintelligent simian from the world of Yuma, the Yulp had a low I.Q but an instinct for hunting down quarry.  Omnivorous, the Yulp would gather every kind of food for a feast – slug, berry and blood.
