Mandrels

Mandrels were monstrous humanoid creatures native to the planet Eden. Mandrels were tall creatures covered in red scales and dark fur. On their furry heads were large, glowing green eyes and a fanlike mouth from which several fronds dangled. Their long arms ended in clawed hands, and their legs, with bands of hair at the bottom, flared out to a grey pad underneath. Although they were not very intelligent, they made up for this with their loud roar and the vicious swipes of their claws with which they fatally wounded people. It was not entirely clear how they killed people; some seemed to drop dead at the mere touch of a Mandrel, perhaps indicating that the creatures were very strong. However, others were able to survive the attacks, so perhaps some of the Mandrels' victims simply had weak hearts. They were usually to be found in a violent rage, but could be calmed with a dog whistle. When thus entranced, they made a keening sound rather like whalesong.

Mandrels were dangerous predators, able to easily kill a human. They were absurdly tough, and able to survive repeated laser blasts - although it either stunned them or forced them to retreat. The only known method to kill a Mandrel was electrocution. Luckily, they weren't especially intelligent and could easily be fooled.

They had the unusual characteristic that they decomposed down into a pile of lumpy white powder, the dangerous, addictive drug vraxoin, after being electrocuted.
