Dzelt (flit tail)
TYPE: tiny insectivore
NUMBER:1-10
MOVE: slow 35m/turn
IM/RS: 9/90
STAMINA: 2
ATTACK: 90
DAMAGE: 1d2 pincer
SPECIAL ATTACK: none
SPECIAL DEFENSE: none
NATIVE WORLD: Exib (Yast's moon, Athor system)

DESCRIPTION:Dzelt are tiny arthropods that share many Yazirian houses on Exib. They are useful creatures as they hunt the harmful sting flies that typically fill Exibian nights with their buzz and itch and which also carry Milo's Disease. Dzelt are built somewhat like scorpions except they have wings, which they rarely use, and their tail ends not in a sting, but in a third pincer which they use for securing and subduing prey. They can scale walls and ceilings with ease and often suspend themselves from such perches while they wait for their next meal.

Dzelt are common pets among young Yazirians and because they keep sting fly populations in check, a myth surrounding the killing of a dzelt has evolved. Yazirians killing a dzelt (accidentally or not) must leave a small saucer of mulkis milk out at night in apology to the dead creature's family. The mulk actually draws sting flies, which in turn, draws dzelts. The offender is assumed to be forgiven if the remains of sting flies are found floating in the mulk. Failure to leave the mulk offering or if it is not accepted supposedly bodes bad luck for the offending Yazirian.

Medib (sting fly)
TYPE: tiny carnivore
NUMBER: 2-20
MOVE: slow 30m/turn
IM/RS: 5/50
STAMINA: .5
ATTACK: 50
DAMAGE: 1/bite
SPECIAL ATTACK: disease
SPECIAL DEFENSE: none
NATIVE WORLD: Exib (Yast's moon, Athor system)

DESCRIPTION:Sting flies are the bane of any Yazirian on Exib. These creatures not only leave a painful, itching wound when they bite they also vector Milo's Disease in Yazirians (no other races are affected). Feeding during the night, male medib take blood meals from any mammalian host they can find. During feeding, microscopic parasites that live in the fly's gut are often regurgitated into the wound. If a Yazirian victim fails a STA check, he will develop Milo's Disease in 1d10 days.

Milo's Disease is characterized by spiking fevers and a loss of dexterity (halve DEX scores). The only treatment is costly and does not provide further immunity. Haltine is the drug of choice for treatment and while it does negate the fever and dexterity loss, it does not cure the disease. Furthermore, should someone stop their routine haltine treatment, the symptoms will return within a day. Until a cure can be found, Yazirians with Milo's Disease remain infected for life.

Mulkis (domesticated)
TYPE: large herbivore
NUMBER: 1-5
MOVE: very slow 10m/turn
IM/RS: 5/50
STAMINA: 120
ATTACK: 50
DAMAGE: 1d10 kick
SPECIAL ATTACK: none
SPECIAL DEFENSE: none
NATIVE WORLD: Exib (Yast's moon, Athor system)

DESCRIPTION:The first Yazirians to explore Exib reported finding small herds of animals that "stupidly bleat-mooed" at them as they stepped down from their spacecraft. Little has occurred to change that perception and no wild mulkis remains on Exib as they were all captured and domesticated with relative ease inside of two years of the colonization effort. Mulkis are famously dull-witted creatures and a common insult among rural Yazirians is to claim that someone does not have the sense that nature gave a mulkis.

Yazirians use these creatures for pulling carts and sometimes plows if machinery is not available. Their violet milk, known as mulk, is used as a beverage and when cured makes a fine purple-hued cheese. They are perfectly useless as mounts due to their size and have wicked tempers, as many young Yazirians can attest, when attempts are made to ride them. They are also often the culprits in raids on grape-corn fields, their favorite treat food.

Many zoologists and ecologists have marveled at the series of events that allowed mulkis to survive as long as they have. A relative lack of natural predators coupled with their yearly foaling were definite bonuses for them and help explain their otherwise dubious survival.

Gett-hen
A domesticated four legged flightless bird imported by yazirians to Exib. Approximately the size and intelligence of a terran turkey.

Miniature Wyvole (domesticated pet)
TYPE: tiny carnivore
NUMBER: 1-2
MOVE: walking- slow 20m/t, climbing-slow 30m/t, gliding-medium 50m/t
IM/RS: 5/50
STAMINA: 10
ATTACK: 45%
DAMAGE: 1d10 bite
SPECIAL ATTACK: none
SPECIAL DEFENSE: none
NATIVE WORLD: Yaz (Yazirian Home World)

DESCRIPTION: Only a yazirian would consider this animal a suitable pet. They are a miniaturized version of the larger wild wyvole but lack the special attack. They maintain their pack mentality but ascribe it to their owners and are very vicious toward outsiders.
