Planet and Species Information
Batdrill is a Taphonur from the planet Kirota. Kirota is covered with thick jungles and forests of every type, and is home to many species of exotic creatures. Thanks to significant water flow, Kirota is also covered in large cave systems, which is where the Taphonur live. Most of their time is spent either expanding the cave systems or using their sonar to detect the many ores they feed on. Their society is very simple, with a barter system being nearly nonexistant, as ore is plentiful enough to go around, and there are very few needs outside of that. They are very social, carving cities out of rock in large caverns, where hundreds of them can gather and live. A lone Taphonur is very dangerous indeed, as most cases of encountering one away from their group usually ends in the serious injury of anything unlucky enought to stumble upon it. The idea has been put forth that social interaction helps to keep their violent tendencies in check, though being as elusive as they are, this has been very hard to determine for sure.
