Kaartach

The small buzzing yiet genus known as the Karrtach are some of the most unlikable creatures on kalem. Their name translates to ‘eater of eyes’ and describes the creatures behaviour, drinking vitreous fluids from the eyes of stationary creatures. Thankfully even small movements can ward them off, which can be seen as the reason many ‘plant’ species have small amounts of motion.

There's around a hundred known species of Kaartach, most of which specialise in one kind of prey, such as the animal-trees of the forests. A few species are generalists, and they are extremely opportunistic and usually far more robust in order to defend against the more active targets. It is these few species that will attack Excation, and are considered extremely unpleasant pests.
