Dalyrakes were multi-limbed arachnoids native to Talus, but also prevalent on Corellia. They lived both on land and in water, using two of their stalk-tentacles as lures for food animals, stabbing them with a poison barb when they approached. They primarily ate fish, small reptavians, and tabage. If cut, their hides secreted black toxin. Their meat was considered a delicacy. When they died, they instinctively lunged as a form of death-spasm. A subspecies larger than the common dalyrakes was the giant dalyrake.
