Description[edit]
Commonly known as "brain-eaters", the trachazoi are small, powerful mammals (no larger than small dogs) that inhabit the woodlands on a variety of planets. Though spread across the Inner Sphere and beyond on a number of worlds, they are rare.
The trachazoi are ambush predators. They hunt at night by waiting for their prey to pass under the trees where they perch. Once a target has been selected, the trachazoi fall from the trees onto their prey's head. Using their powerful foreclaws, they split the skulls of their prey and consume the brains within. If the trachazoi miss their target, they quickly run away as they are no match in a direct confrontation.
