Danchaf

this creature, native to the planet Garban, was known to the Jenets as a tree goblin. Many xeno-biologists considered the danchaf to be simply animals, while the Jenet argued that they exhibited problem-solving and reasoning skills when not being observed by off-worlders. The average danchaf resembled a two-meter-tall humanoid, with broad shoulders and clawed feet used for climbing. A large horn-like scale protected each shoulder. The danchaf were considered vicious predators, hunting in packs of 10 or more. The Jenet maintain legends which indicated that the danchaf were once the rulers of the planet Garban, marauding the planet in huge packs before Jenet warriors were able to decimate the population and drive them back.
