Elek

The elek is a pet commonly kept by fraal. The fraal brought it with them to Earth, and it has a history of involvement in fraal history that predates the earliest historical records. Despite its unusual appearance, the elek is also becoming a popular pet with non-fraal mind-walkers because of its natural psionic abilities.

The elek is a small animal, looking rather like a soft-bodied horseshoe crab. The natural texture of the creature’s back makes it look uncomfortably like a human brain. A ring of light sensitive spots surrounds the elek’s body, although the animal is essentially blind. A slender tail trickles out behind the elek, making up about hale the animal’s length of approximately 30 inches. Dozens of pairs of tiny legs, hidden beneath the elek’s body, are its means of locomotion.

A relaxing elek gives off psionic vibrations that most mindwalkers find pleasant. Some consider the vibrations akin to the relaxing effect some humans feel when a cat purrs. If an elek feels threatened, it can lash out mentally, stunning its attacker while the naturally timid scurries off to hide.
