The Tem'lagaru were an odd fish like creature that swam in schools like fish, but unlike fish were actually amphibians. They had alligator looking heads and a fish like body and were omnivores with extremely powerful and vigorous stomachs. They could eat practically anything, even if it was poisonous to most animals, and be able to use it as food. One extremely old and large Tem'lagaru was once found with an entire suit of armor digesting in its stomach when it was caught.
