Tulvarees were a species of semi-sentient avian hunters native to the planet of Pochi. Each of their wings was tipped with three razor-sharp talons, and their small mouths were filled with sharp teeth. There were a number of different Tulvaree tribes, which engaged in intense warfare with each other. When the Human pirate Faarl the Conqueror took control of their homeworld, the Tulvarees quickly learned how to take orders from the warlord. Faarl, recognizing a source of soldiers, provided a constant food supply to the Tulvarees in exchange for their allegiance.
