Kinrath/Legends

Kinrath were a species of large, non-sentient arachnoids. They lived on Dantooine and Kashyyyk, and possibly other planets. They were normally a light yellow-brownish color, but other varietes were slightly differenly colored. One other variety was the viper kinrath, which carried a deadly poison and was tougher than standard kinrath. Kinraths grew to their full size quickly, some hatchlings seen had been nearly the size of adult kinraths. Kinrath seemed to be hive creatures, and a single female kinrath matriarch was the leader of a hive of kinrath.

Kinrath had six legs and a leg-like, poisonous appendage coming out of their faces that they used to attack things. All kinrath had no eyes, so they were, of course, blind. They could sense heat, however, and attack whatever they sensed. What stopped them from attacking each other were sweat glands that they had. Their sweat released a stench that only they could smell, and they did not attack things with the smell of their sweat. It was possible to remove the sweat glands from a kinrath to avoid being attacked by them when exploring areas infested with them.

Red lightsaber crystals could be naturally generated in unhatched kinrath eggs, instead of being artificially forged.
