Home Planet: Krillia
Life Form: Humanoid
The Krillitanes are bat-like humanoids, with wings, sharp claws and a flattened face with fangs. The colours of their skin varied and could be anything from a sort of pink to charcoal grey. They are smaller than humans, they sleep upside down, and they have very sensitive hearing. They can also change into a morphic illusion of a human, so look like a human. Krillitanes are carnivorous, but have been known to eat rats. They make Krillitane Oil, which makes humans more clever, but is deadly to Krillitanes. In 2007, a group of Krillitanes led by Brother Lassar had landed in Deffry Vale in London, the arrival of their spacecraft marked by UFO activity and the occasional appearance of a localised orange glow in the sky. They had taken over Deffry Vale High School. Using Krillitane oil and an advanced computer network, they were using the brains and imagination of the students as a type of computer in order to work out the Skasas Paradigm.
