Description: "The grutchins may never come back, but neither do their victims."
          The Grutchin was a biologically created creature used by the Yuuzhan Vong. It was designed to combat starships by tearing through the hull with powerful claws and acidic mandibles, then killing whichever crew members survived the explosive decompression. Equipped with a strong armored shell, Grutchins could survive in space indefinately until they starved to death. Unlike other Yuuzhan Vong creatures, the Grutchins were mindless and untrainable. Once launched into combat, they could not be recalled. However, since the Grutchin's diet was comprised of metals and circuitry, Yuuzhan Vong ships were never in much of any danger.
          Grutchin were often bred in large breeding pools on Yuuzhan Vong warships. All Grutchins were inherintly bred to be male. Without a queen, reproduction was impossible for the creatures, and the species was kept alive by the same Yuuzhan Vong Shapers who genetically designed them. Gretchin larvae matured very quickly through an accelerated metamorphisis.
