Moochers were small, semisentient, fur-covered lizards of Abregado-rae. They were believed to be somehow related to the Atzerrian Meek. They lived in dens with populations in the thousands, all birthed by a single queen. This queen was extremely intelligent, but birthed offspring that were comparably unintelligent. Often, the queen would expel Moochers she was displeased with, and they would branch off to form their own dens, or turn to a life of panhandling in the planet's spaceports, the latter being considered a nuisance by most inhabitants.[2] Moochers could move on all fours or on their two hind legs and used their prehensile tails to manipulate objects. Their language was mainly based on gestures with the occasional bark or whistle. They can detect their surroundings from up to 80 meters away, even in complete darkness, by sensing energy fields. [3]
Moochers were also susceptible to the Veizen fever, which could drive them mad. When an outbreak seemed possible, the Tundei regime allowed the extermination of nearly all the Moochers, to prevent it from spreading to the Gado.
