![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Prador are also prone to cannibalism, and older Prador routinely kill and eat younger ones. Humans eaten in this way have their limbs cut off and eaten first so that they survive the process as long as possible. However, they have a taste for human flesh and often harvest humans for precisely this purpose. They feed mainly on raw, decaying meat harvested from giant mudskippers on the planets they inhabit. Prador mouths are sets of grasping, shearing mandibles suited for eating meat. Positioned above these are huge crab-like working claws, used mainly for combat and heavy labor. Hanging from the underside of the body are four small manipulator arms ending in clusters of fingers and hooks serving as hands. Adult Prador shed the hindmost pair of legs and lose the ability to regrow lost limbs. They walk on six insectoid legs, each ending in a large spike. The wide front end of the body bears several pairs of small red eyes, including one pair on movable stalks. The body is covered by a flattened, pear-shaped shell with scalloped rims. It is a corruption of the word "predator," applied to the Prador because of their exclusively carnivorous diet. "Prador" is a name applied to the species by humans before first contact. ![]()
