The Midans, Kran-Tobal, and Kras make thier home on the planet Lapolis in the Kora System. The Midans, Kran-Tobal, and the Kras are all three legged and two headed. Each has a relatively large body weighing close to 50 pounds. The brain is located in the body cavity, encased in a large protective skull. The two heads protrude from the front of the body, one eye on each one on necks almost a foot long. There is one leg centered on the front of the body, with the remaining two in back. The two in back have very large razor-sharp talons, one on each foot. They curve outward away from eachother. When attacked, they use the one foot in front as an anchor and swing their bodies, back feet protruding and bearing both spikes, in tight, rapid circles. The spikes, used in this manner, have sliced whole trees clean in half.
There are three genetically different species on Lapolis. All follow the same description above. The Midans, which have evolved as the "male" of the species, are smaller and less aggressive, and lack the large size of the rear spikes, though they are still present. The Kras, which have evolved as the "females" of the species, carry and incubate the young. They are incredibly aggressive and oftentimes keep herds of Midans and Kran-Tobal for themselves. Their large back spikes are incredibly sharp and used often in fights with other Kras females.
The Kran-Tobal are the largest, but can be called asexual. If they mate with a Midan, they carry the young. And when mated with a Kras, they become the male, able to change each time to fit the situation. They are incredibly large and the stupider of the three. Scientists believe they evolved millions of years ago as parasitic predators, infiltrating the herds of Midans and other submissive Kras, snatching an infant or dying animal, and running to cover to gorge itself. However, over time they just stayed with the herds more and more, evolving a herbivorian diet, and changing their sexual genders to fit in with the herds.
The aggressive nature of the Kras "females" has made the foundation of cities completely impossible. Instead, a dominant Kras leads her herd of kran-Tobal and Midans across the plains of Lapolis,
