The Veracht (/vɛərˈɑ:kt/, singular Verai) were a nocturnal sentient species that inhabited the swamps of the planet Kizav. They were thought to be a child's fairytale to the other sentient species, the Skavik. They were best known for climbing through the Skavik's windows and stealing their young for food, sometimes devouring whole hives. They were capable of bipedal or quadrupedal locomotion due to their rotating socketed hips. They were the apex predators on Kizav and could even use the poison emitted from their claws and teeth to disorient prey before the kill.
