Tangaks are huge, shaggy, bipedal predators from the planet Coyn, in the Coynek System. These crafty carnivores are the worst enemy of the indigenous Coynites. While lacking true intellect, they are cunning and dangerous; in fact some Tangaks use elaborate traps to capture prey.
The favoured food of Tangaks are Tris. Considering that Tris are fearsome animals in their own right, a fight between a Tris and a Tangak must be a terrible thing to behold.
Despite their huge bulk, these beasts can move very quietly and surprise their prey. This, coupled with their camouflage ability, makes them very dangerous to hunt. Although Tangaks shun cities as a rule, some of the older, experienced and more confident Tangaks do creep into cities at night and stalk Coynite prey through the artificial canyons, created by the tall buildings.
