Karak was a city in the kingdom of Koryo in Kara-Tur. It lay at the edge of the great Quang Muku Forest, by the sea.
The karak is a type of critter. It comes in male and female forms. Karaks are/were found on Shakuras, Zhakul, Monlyth, Typhon XI Valhalla, and Calus, home to a leaping form which can attack enemies. Karak eggs are used on terran worlds as an alternative to chicken eggs for culinary purposes, but are largely viewed as inferior.
Karak is a Dream Creature native to Orothe which resembles a giant squid with four large, crustacean pincers extending from under its tentacles.
