The M'onnok, a perilous, partly-sentient predator of the desert environment, originated from the planet of Socorro. Possessing the intelligence to fashion rudimentary tools like spears and clubs, the m'onnok were held in high regard by Socorro's nomadic peoples due to their prowess in hunting. However, it was generally accepted that the m'onnok had not evolved a legitimate language. Reaching heights of up to 2.3 meters, these largely solitary hunters subsisted mainly on a diet consisting of druyza and mutrioks. Their habitat was primarily within the Rym Mountains and the Doaba Badlands regions of Socorro.
