Your welcome Ral... ...
Here is the description straight from the book, they are found on the planet Bothawui. Picture to come later....
Rals
Rals, or "stone rays," are small flying reptiles that feed on other small animals and insects. Two spindly arms with small sharp claws are connected to the body by thin leathery strips of skin giving rals a wingspan of up to one-half meter. The skin tones and patterns of the ral mimic the natural slate gray coloration of glitterstone, allowing it to remain virtually undetected against the planet’s natural stone.
But the ral is not as harmless as it looks – a tiny razor beak and teeth, recessed in a small mouth slit, give the ral a nasty bite. However, its most dangerous aspect is a poison-tipped stinger connected to a 30 centimeter long tail. Bothans have some immunity to the rals’ poison, but humans and most other species are not as fortunate; in some cases a single sting is enough to cause a slow and agonizing death.
Rals are cold-blooded and hibernate at night in small caves, leaving only after the first rays of sunlight penetrate the darkness. Draping themselves across rocks and boulders, they spend the day nearly motionless, absorbing the heat of the afternoon, waiting for a meal to come to them. When small reptiles, birds or insects land on or cross the ral’s wings, it lashes out with its poison-tipped tail. After stinging, the ral’s wings snap closed, ensnaring its prey. When the struggling subsides, the razor beak and needle teeth make short work of the small meal. If startled or attacked by a creature larger than themselves, rals will sting repeatedly as they scratch and bite, until the threat has been removed.
Type: Repto-avian carnivore
DEXTERITY 2D
PERCEPTION 3D
STRENGTH 1D
Brawling 3D
Special Abilities:
Claws and Teeth: Rals scratch and bite when they attack, causing STR +1D damage.
Camouflage: A Very Difficult search or Perception is required to detect a ral when it is sunbathing.
Poison Stinger: Does 3D damage. If any attack on a non-Bothan causes a stun or worse, the victim may be poisoned. (Bothans are poisoned with a wound or worse.) The target must make a moderate stamina roll or immediately pass out, slumping into a deep, feverish coma. Unless an antidote (found in Bothan medpacs and in the medicine cabinets of most Bothan households) is applied within 15 minutes, only a Very Difficult first aid roll can save the character’s life (using standard medicines in a medpac). Most poison victims die within 20 hours.
Move: 15 (flying)
Size: 70 centimeters long (body, including the tail), 50 centimeter wingspan
