Mulissiki

The Mulissiki were a nonsentient reptilian species indigenous to Cularin in the Cularin System.

Biology and appearance
The Mulissiki were meter-long, four-legged creatures with smooth skin, long, thin tails, and long noses. Its skin is primarily brown with irregular streaks of green and white, a natural survival adaptation to their environment. The Mulissiki have a prehensile nose and search in trees and mounds for refuse, usually living off the waste of other creatures. Despite its eating habits, the species spend a lot of time remaining clean. The creatures can be found cleaning themselves near waterholes and rivers after gathering food. Mulissiki sense their surrounding by using whiskerlike antennae on its face, which are capable of detecting pressure changes in the air. The creatures live everywhere on the planet, even on the highest mountain ranges. Even when there is no apparent food source, this hardy species manages to thrive.

Interaction with other species
As scavengers, the Mulissiki do not attack larger creatures. Though they can cower and hide, when really threatened the species emits a stinky cloud of gas that forces many species, native and alien to the planet alike, to flee the area. The local Tarasin often eat the creature after cooking them thoroughly, finding the creature quite tasty. Interestingly enough, the native Kilassin will only eat these creatures if they are clean or in the process of cleaning.

Mulissiki were often found near settlements, scavenging off the waste of sentients. The Tarasin did not have a problem with them, but the platform cities found them to be a nuissance, for once they found their way up on a platform (by accidentally hitching a ride on an airspeeder usually), they had no way to get back down.
