Caption: Me: I should make some cute doodles of the Elyei, so I can make people love them as much as I do! below is a sketch of a fuzzy alien python with elf ears, curled up in a ball.

Caption: What I drew instead: Face shot of the fuzzy alien python with elf ears, eyes bulging and mouth full of a non-descript rat like creature.

I really love these little critters. They act as pest control in space!

It's hard to program cleaners to target only invasive species, it's much easier to train and keep the equivalent of a Ship's Cat to deal with them.
