Valky clan

The Valky Clan were an aquatic people from the planet Shakara. They bred the Zaralok, a type of giant armoured shark, as a weapon against an enemy with whom they were at war. The Zaralok turned on their creators, eating the Valky clan as well as their enemies. (VG: Shadows of the Vashta Nerada)

Behind the scenes

 * While the Valky clan is never mentioned in Shadows of the Vashta Nerada's character dialogue, they and their role as the creators of the Zaralok are described in a "Who Fact" popup initiated by examining the first porthole encountered on the USS Eldridge.
