The cantankeri are lumbering, irritable, half-fossilized isopods capable of battering through a ship’s hull. Sometimes, miners digging into chunks of rock drifting through the Astral Plane find sleeping cantankeri instead of metal or precious stones. Stunted, half-blinded and irritable from their long sleep, the cantankeri are not pleased to be disturbed. The bull is a king of its kind. An isopod with the dimensions of an elephant, sheathed in layer upon layer of semi-calcified armour plates, all wrapped around the temperament of an embittered badger. Bull cantankeri are aggressive, and once roused, will bash themselves against a foe until either it or they are dead. During the battle it's not unusual for fragments or belongings of their victims to become wedged in the bull's carapace. Their outer layers are encrusted with stone from their long slumber in the crust of their dying world. In places, it is traced with shimmering veins of mineral. Sometimes, clusters of jasper, tourmaline, or agate can be found embedded in the calcified plates of their carapace.
