Glossary edit see section history

  • Yeerk: A Yeerk is a parasite that takes over the body of another being by infesting a host's brain through their ear canal. It resembles a small, gray-green slug about five or six inches long
  • Taxxon: They resemble giant, 10-foot-long (3.0 m) centipedes, with the forward one-third portion of their body held erect. They move on many rows of needle-like legs and the legs give way to claws not unlike that of a lobster. The front/top of their bodies end in a mouth like a lamprey, ringed with many razor sharp teeth. The area around their mouths (on what passes for a "head" on these creatures) is ringed with four red bulbous compound eyes on stalks.
