An Entity of Type : dbkwik:resource/9cXEaOZ9zvbiXQBJdgjbmg==, within Data Space : 134.155.108.49:8890 associated with source dataset(s)

Keasts are fairly large creatures, reaching lengths of four meters. This includes a long, flexible tail, which is equipped with a retractable fan-like structure. Keasts have six limbs; four legs (which are often tucked under the body) and two large wings. The head of a Keast is square in shape, and possesses an extremely large mouth filled with teeth. The teeth at the front of the mouth are pointed and serrated, but the teeth at the back are flat and built for crushing hard materials. Its mouth is surrounded by four spiny mandibles, which are used to subdue and tear into potential prey.

abstract	Keasts are fairly large creatures, reaching lengths of four meters. This includes a long, flexible tail, which is equipped with a retractable fan-like structure. Keasts have six limbs; four legs (which are often tucked under the body) and two large wings. The head of a Keast is square in shape, and possesses an extremely large mouth filled with teeth. The teeth at the front of the mouth are pointed and serrated, but the teeth at the back are flat and built for crushing hard materials. Its mouth is surrounded by four spiny mandibles, which are used to subdue and tear into potential prey. Keasts have no eyes, or at least eyes as we recognize them; they have eight sensory organs called vlhemins on the head that are used for a variety of purposes. Some of these include: * Vision. The vlhemins of a Keast can "see" in many different spectrums. It is known that they can detect visible, ultraviolet, and infrared light. It has been hypothesized that they can also see different forms of background radiation, and perhaps even gravitational waves. * Smell. While on habitable planets, Keasts have a well-developed sense of smell. Using their vlhemins, they can detect and differentiate smells from up to half a mile away. * Hearing. Sound does not travel in space, but in an atmosphere the vlhemins can detect sounds from a considerable distance. They are most attuned to detect the vocalizations of other Keasts. Keasts have four muscular legs. They are built for gripping objects such as space debris, or occasionally trees. As such they are not well adapted for running, and can only move at high speeds for a minute or so. When not in use, the legs are tucked underneath the body. Their wings are located just behind the back pair of legs, which is an unusual position for flying creatures. Keast wings have an extra joint located between the scapula and the elbow for greater mobility. They are very durable and do not tear easily. Keasts have a long tail, which is equipped with a retractable fan-like structure. It is used as a kind of receptor to collect different types of radiant energy. It is believed that the fan projects color patterns that are used for display between individuals, unable to be seen with human eyes.
