Galgan

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.

Joints fully bi-direction and the muscles in the limbs are very strong.

Habitat

Galgan are excelent tunnelers, though they cannot break through solid rock. They prefer natural caves or deep topsoil with a heavy mix of boulders. They exude a sticky, silken material(not unlike spider silk) from glands near the base of the neck that allow them to "glue" rocks together in order to form burrows and tunnels.

Taxonomy

The Galgan defies classification. Though insect-like in structure, it exhibits both mammalian and reptilian features
