A licat was a small, fast carnivorous animal native to the planet Midgwis.
History and specifics[]
Licats had long bodies and shaggy fur. They hunted in packs and moved strikingly fast, tracking pfugux and other wildlife.
Licats were native to southern regions where the Midgwin resided. A pack of them once stormed Bendigo Warren, forcing the Midgwin to flee, huddling together on the surrounding canyon walls for a day.
In the mid-2260s decade, licats were known to the Federation contact team stationed on Midgwis. (TOS novel: Ghost-Walker)
