The nolan is a four-armed, two-legged, three meter tall creature native to Engadine. Such creatures are highly vicious and are protected with a thick hide, which possesses chameleon-like abilities, allowing a nolan to blend into its surroundings. Each arm ends in a three-fingered hand equipped with sharp claws. A victim of the creature's bite will die in a few minutes if not treated. Nolans travel in packs of three to five animals and are most persistent in attacks—even when confronted with gunfire.[1] If left unchecked, nolans will attack villages and humans. Such behavior led to the formation of "The Rooting," a yearly hunt where humans track and kill nolans.[2]
The creatures are noted for their incredible speed, clawed hands and jaws. They are difficult to transport alive from their homeworld.[3] Their appearance can cause panic, and their hide is difficult for firearms to penetrate.[4]
Only one known Nolan has been ever transported off planet, which was seen on Adhafera, at a rundown alleged "Canopian Pleasure Circus."[citation needed]
