The sayce is a xenoc creature native to the jungles of Amarisk, on the frontier world of Lalonde. It is a dog-analogue (and is a similar size to a large Earth canine) but has a distinctly catlike appearance, with a strong, streamlined body covered in jet-black scales. The sayce has six-clawed paws and a wedge-shaped head, with flat, triangular ears, green-tinted eyes, a blue tongue and powerful jaws equipped with sharp fangs.
