The Galgan is a sightless creature found in the [[Duat]].

==Physiology==
Galgan can grow up to seven feet long. They have six articulated limbs with solid bones. Marrow is found only in sacks within the rib cage, next to the lungs.

The Galgan's abdomen includes a heavily-armored exo-skeleton made of a thick, chitonous material. Its head is small and has long, insect-lick feelers covered in fine hairs. The next is s-shaped, and able to withdraw the head into a protective alcove in the exoskeleton.
