Tetrap

The Tetraps are a race of bestial humanoids from Time and the Rani.



Tetraps are somewhat like a combination between a human, bat and boar, though this is a basic description at best. Tetraps are stocky creatures covered in brown fur. They have sharp clawed hands and vestigial wing-flaps. Their large, lumpy heads are their oddest feature. Tetraps have four eyes, one in the front, two on each side and another on the back. They also have four ears, two facing forward and two facing back. Tetraps also have a forked tongue which can inject a paralysing poison. Tetraps feed on blood plasma and sleep upside down like bats.

The Tetraps were employed by the Rani in her experiment with a Time Brain on Lakertya. They would bully the native Lakertyans and enforce the Rani's will. The Time Brain would then use a strange-matter asteroid to change the universe more to the Rani's liking. When the Tetraps learned that the experiment would kill them (and the native Lakertyans), they were able to kidnap the Rani to bring her back to Tetrapyriarbus.
