Kyren

Kyren
The kyren is a fictional insect from the book Star Wars: The Approaching Storm. They are neative to the planet Ansion. They are almost jet black with four membranous wings, two large at the front of the thorax and two smaller ones at the rear. The kyren would glide on the upper wings while being propelled by the rear ones. AA bright yellow splotch decorates each wing, which is believed to be an aid for identification. They are legless, and instead boast a pair of thick, furry tufts that run the length of its underside, like runners on a sled. Since they are airborne for most of their lives, the kyren have little need for legs. The kyrens mouth is large for its bodysize and is lined top and bottom with twin ridges of horn. The kyren travel in swarms of up to and sometimes over 150 million individuals. They travel the grasslands of Ansion in search of food, using their horned mouths as scythes to slice the grass and plants growing on the plains.
