Mong Dul



Race: Atta-Oko

Homeworld: Ymef

Era: 4208 Tu - 4277 Tu

For generations, the ancient nest of Mongs protects the vast territories of Atta-Oko from careless intruders. It would surely fall on Mong Dul to perform this task as well, if it wasn't for the Matron's error, where she poured leavening r'hadz milk on his egg. A strangely malformed male hatched from the egg, born without any feather cover. His body was covered by thick, furrowed skin, his right eye was blind, limping while walking. Dul was supposed to be put to death after his birth, but the matron's conscience forced her to plead for mercy at the council of Elders. Later on, she very much regretted her decision and all her efforts to support the cripple. She never hoped that he would ever compare with his older brother Bonk, but naively believed that the young and sickly Atta-Oko would at least attempt it.

Dul learned to survive in the ymef environment by using lies, ruses and theft. For this he was truly - but secretly - hated by his nest. Dul was always careful to patiently collect all kinds of compromising information on the important nest-members, which is more than enough to keep his back covered. His well-trained survival instinct held him back, however, to not provoke anyone to use violence. His sickly and weak organism would not be able to survive such clash.

Dul's brother Mong Bonk once said that Dul's malformed body and soul reminds him of the Elders. Dul took this as an offence and did not stop until he found a way how to avenge this loss of honour. When he found out that Bonk secretly keeps building an escape pod, he threatened him that he will reveal this to the rest of the nest. Bonk got worried that his long effort would end up in vain and thus killed his unsuspecting brother in a falling rock "accident".
