Cythraul are semi-sentient canine mammals which hail from the planet Millinar, in the Hapes Cluster. They are given as pups to prominent Arconans who are on their way to earning the Clan Title of Arconae, and having Cythraul is sign as a badge of honour among the Arconans. Their loyalty is unmatched when they form a connection with a force sensitive master.

Cythraul translates roughly in Hapan to “Demon”.

History

In the time leading up to the war, Sashar joined Marick on a trip to the Hapes cluster. It would be the last mission the two would go on, as it was Marick’s initiation into becoming a True Shadesworn. Their objective was simple: to bring back a pack of Cythraul. Marick had often told his clan-mates of the ferocity, loyalty and efficacy of the over-sized canines, but what really piqued Sashar’s interest was that the creatures seemed to have a pack-bond affinity with Force users. The Hapan had said that once a Cythraul bonds with a Force user, it is a stronger bond than that between parent and child; they would stick with them for life. After exploring the planet of Millinar, the pair were successful, and brought back no less than three pups and their mother and father. However, before the four males could be given to four aspiring members of Arcona, the Tenth Great Jedi War broke out, and with the turmoil that followed, the creatures were forgotten in the bestiary. Only when Wuntila was able to cement his rule was he able to turn his attention to the Cytharul.

Biology

The creatures can grow as large as 1.5 meters tall and over 2 meters long and can reach full size in less than a year. They can weigh anywhere from 110lbs (50kg) up. Their teeth are larger and stronger than a typical canine, and are said to be able to rip right through humanoid bone and flesh with ease. Powerful and athletic, their muscle structure allows them to run swifter than the average human and can jump just as high as three meters vertically. Their paws are padded.

Heightened sense of smell makes them perfect for hunting living game, whether it nerf or human. Their eyes see in gray-scale, so they have little problem hunting at night.

Their fur is dense and they have fluffy winter fur, with short underfur and long, coarse guard hairs. Most of the underfur and some of the guard hairs are shed in the spring and grow back in the autumn period. The longest hairs occur on the back, particularly on the front quarters and neck. Especially long hairs are found on the shoulders, and almost form a crest on the upper part of the neck. The hairs on the cheeks are elongated and form tufts. The ears are covered in short hairs which strongly project from the fur. Short, elastic and closely adjacent hairs are present on the limbs from the elbows down. Usual colourings for the Cythaul vary from white to gray to black, often being mixtures of the three. Their eyes can range from a vast catalogue of colours and do not indicate genetic lineage.
