Description
Yup, that time again where I try and figure out what exactly I want out of the Hasak species. Here's what I have so far (at least within these set of doodles).

Hasak are kind of like eels. They produce energy as a defense (or attack) mechanism, but recent enlightenment into the modern age leads them to use their powers as batteries for (some of) their machines.

There are large, 6 legged creatures sensitive to the crystals the Hasak mine for. They are also excellent travelers, so they are often used as transport for cargo. These creatures are blind, but navigate by the direction of large crystals. Usually docile, they can be tamed to an extent to follow a particular type of crystal (in this case a dime-a-dozen guide crystal). For those who noticed, I used the base of the Salamander Akrid from Lost Planet 2 on this one.

Birds are rare here, but the one dominant bird (that resembles the ostrich) is used as a quick, single seater mode of transit. They have amazing endurance, given enough food and water, matched by their high speeds upwards of 60mph.

The Hasak's drilling equipment is mostly pneumatic since it's easy to refuel and less flammable than most other energies. This device acts as an impact drill that chips away at the rock face as it bores into it.

The last creature here is a strange bug. It's a delicacy on the planet, but they are hard to capture. These bugs have the interesting ability of bipedal stances and a confusing array of a sort of strobe lighting, which is often enough to deter most curious predators. The bugs are rarely seen unless you search underground. No reason for their existence has been determined. (unless you count strobe light kung-fu or something a reason)
