Xragoni

The Xragoni were a race of peaceful creatures known for their poetry and art, with orange skin with purple spots and razor sharp teeth. Their physical appearance with their webbed hands and no obvious nasal passage suggests they were amphibious creatures. The Xragoni home world was terrified by a giant mutant creature (a protobioform) which was hunted through space to an asteroid where, the revelation that the creature was terrified and in pain, led to a pity which saw it buried with dignity when its life expired.
