The Brontoscincidae are a race of electrokinetic reptiles from the planet Yahnahpina. By rapidly rubbing their knuckles or palms together they can build up a gigantic electrical charge which they use to subdue their prey and defend themselves from predators.

History

The Brontoscincidae species originated in the Deserts of Yahnahpina's southern continent around 600,000 years ago

Appearance and Biology

Brontoscincidae are well adapted to the extreme environment of their native habitat. Being able to go for over a week without water, and digest even the most spiny, toxic, waxy or rubbery plants of the desert that would be unpalatable to most other creatures on Yahnahpina.

Brontoscincids have six large sails on their backs, covered in hexagonal scales, that absorb sunlight and function as lightning rods to attract atmospheric electricty and store it within their internal electrical sacs. Their third eye is positioned in the center of the sails, allowing the Brontoscincid to accurately find and capture the most sunlight and electricity.

The rectangular scale-like patches covering a Brontoscincidae's arms are their electrokinetic organs, and by rubbing them together they can create static electricity, which can be combined with stored or created electricity in the rest of the body to send electrical blasts and beams from their hands or sails.
