The rikknit was a crustacean native to New Plympto. They had eight to twelve legs and lived at the tops of hiakk trees. Rikknit spun webs for nests and storage. Female rikknit had ovum sacs connected to their abdomens. The Nosaurians removed these to harvest their eggs, which were sold offworld as a delicacy. They also harvested ovum sacks from rikknit and processed them into an addictive substance called ji rikknit.
Rikknits were hunted with harvest blades before Supreme Chancellor Finis Valorum declared them a protected species.
