Story:

On a far off planet lives these truly exotic animals. Aliens from far and wide regularly visit. Unfortunately, these animals have been hunted and poached into near extinction for pseudo-medicines, trophies, sport, and w/ their numbers dangerously low, their extinction seems inevitable. Despite laws and restrictions on the hunting of them, that doesn't stop people from doing so. In a effort to conserve these animals over a dozen (or whatever could be found) of each species were rounded up and to be taken off planet to an isolated animal reserve on a remote facility on a planet far far away in the hopes of being left undisturbed and allow the population to grow to less critical levels and be later re-introduced to their native habitat. All the animals were placed in a deep sleep and specially made holders to prevent any discomfort and provide safety. Unfortunately on the way there they encountered a problem: pirates. Being after the wildlife on board. More trouble arises as the ship is damaged and forced to make a crash landing - and where did they crash land? On earth of course! Billy and Sarah's hometown of Oak River, USA to be exact. From the wreckage the alien wildlife escaped and flee into the wilderness. Thanks to the town's remoteness and being geographically cut-off and isolated, they couldn't get too far. Amazingly, and by pure dumb luck, the animals have adapted to the atmosphere and environment well, and incredibly quickly. Because of this, they're steadily growing in population. For it is both suitable and habitable to the animal aliens as it strongly mirrors their old one. Though less so for the aliens responsible for transporting them. Needing to wear special suits to live. As for the crew in question, all but one had perished in the crash. Stranded, they began work on salvaging what they could in an effort to call for a rescue. Oak River already being home to many other equally weird individuals and things, the new arrivals fit right in. It also wouldn't be long before Billy and Sarah would become acquainted w/ the aliens.

Alien:

Sna'Chh: Of all the aliens brought to Oak River, the Sna'Chh are among the most ferocious looking. You'd think they'd make excellent killing machines. You're only half right as yes they're active hunters, but are mostly scavengers a majority of the time. They are more than cable of switching into hunting mode if weakened prey is available. Are the hyenas of their old world. Have incredible sense of smell, speed and are smart and cunning as hell. Pack hunters too to boot. Their serrated tongues function identical to that of frogs and chameleons. Impaling the hides of prey and if small enough, reel them in. Will bleed out their prey to death, or until it's weak enough. That's when they go in for the kill. Size being about that of a large dog or a large wolf. Powerful jaws for breaking bone and access to that ever delicious and nutritious bone marrow. Their pointed teeth and "beak" are very useful for stripping and plucking away the flesh off of a carcass. If threatened by a larger animal or others of thei kind, they will either puke up their food and book it or spray them w/ a noxious smelling chemical from their posterior. Not the best parents out there as like lizards, they'll build a nest, lay their clutch and leave. Are cannibals too.
