Bark rats were stoutly built rodents native to the planet Cholganna. They made up the bulk of the diet of the predatory nexu, a species that hunted in Cholganna's cool forests using their infrared vision to spot warm-blooded prey.[1] The rats were more common than Cholganna's arboreal octopi.[2]
Behind the scenes[]
