Qormots were omnivorous forest creatures from the planet Yeshocq's southern hemisphere. They were stocky quadrupeds with sharp claws and teeth. A qormot could easily be recognized from the single eye in the middle of its forehead, and the array of quills sticking out of its spine and flanks. These quills could actually be launched at opponents up to twelve meters away, though the effective range was limited to about five meters due to the poor depth perception of the qormot's single eye.
