#GreatSahRah #evening #SahRah Great Sah'Rahn Lunger Native world: Great Sah'Rah Found exclusively in the tropical regions of Great Sah'Rah, the lunger is a predominantly solitary creature, occupying territorial ranges up to 20 kilometers. In the wild the lunger can live up to 35 terran standard years. Captive specimens have lived to 53 before succumbing to age. Because the lunger preys exclusively on other predators native to Great Sah'Rah, it is considered a keystone species in its ecosystem and is therefore protected by the Terran Coalition Conservation Corps.  The lunger is extremely dangerous, and capable of moving in sudden bursts of speed that top 125km for short distances (50 meters). Once its prey has been identified (or when defending its territory) it will make a lunging pounce to capture its prey, wrapping it with it's four spiked limbs, possibly making several biting strikes before impaling it with it's poisoned striker claws (raised above it's back in picture). The poison attacks the prey's nervous system paralyzing the prey within moments. The lunger's tri-jointed jaw will then disengage and allow it to eat its prey whole and at it's leisure. The lunger's senses are some of the most acute of any known animal within the Terran Coalition. Its olfactory senses can detect the pheromones of other lungers more than 50km away, and it can see not only in the visible light range but the ultraviolet and infra-red as well.  Ovipositors are located in the back, and spiked for digging a shallow incubating nest for up to 5 eggs which take roughly two and half standard years to hatch.  The lunger's ear nodes are located just below the neck, above the first set of legs, with three on each side. Interestingly, the lunger can only hear in the higher ranges, being virtually deaf in the lower octaves.
