The Gracklflint are an alien species from an unknown planet.
Appearance[]
A Gracklflint looks like a light purple spider with six legs and three dark purple stripes on its body. Each leg has two dark purple claws each. It has four eyes, two smaller ones above the bottom large ones. It has nine teeth, three on the top jaw and six on the bottom jaw, the two outer lower teeth are tusk like. It has two strips of fur on the lower jaw.
History[]
A Gracklflint appears in Rad, where it was transported by Ben and Rook. It was released by Pax en route, and attacked them. Later in the episode, it was used against the Incurseans to force Raff to let the heroes through. It was tamed and used to cure the Plumbers trapped on Terminus III. The Gracklflint was then transported to another planet and released into the wild.
Sometime before The Final Countdown, Fistina sent Rook a baby Gracklflint as a gift.
Behavior[]
Gracklflints are extremely aggressive and hostile to most species. In Rook's words, a Gracklflint's only interest is to kill everything that is not a Gracklflint.[1][2] Their destructive nature is so intense that Raff was willing to make any deal with Ben's team, just to get one off of his ship.
Despite their hostile nature, Gracklflints can be calmed down, and even potentially tamed when baited with fruit from a Florauna.[2]
Diet[]
Gracklflints are either herbivores or omnivores. Despite their bloodthirsty nature and sharp teeth, they have only been shown eating vegetal material: both the fruit and entire pieces of a Florauna.[2]
Powers and Abilities[]
Gracklflints can spit out a purple venom from its mouth. While this venom can irritate some creatures, its properties are unusually curative[1][2] and used as a remedy; fresh Gracklflint venom is the only known antidote to the toxic atmosphere of the planet Terminus III;[3][2] those exposed to the atmosphere must be doused with it.
A Gracklflint's claws can rip through metal and thick cables with ease.[2]
Gracklflints have a degree of enhanced durability, as shots from Incursean blasters had no effect on one, but those from Rad's blasters were able to hurt it.[2]
Weaknesses[]
Gracklflints are able to be held and confined by Segmentasapiens.
