Description[]
Non-combat pet. The Dilithium Horta is an acidic silicon-based life-form first found on Janus VI. Hortas are difficult to detect with tricorders and their hardened skin is resistant to phaser fire. They tunnel through solid stone by secreting a corrosive acid that can also be used as a weapon. Usually found in caves and underground caverns, Hortas feed on the rocks and minerals found in their natural habitat. Horta are sentient and have life cycles that extend for thousands of years.
This one is unusually docile and radiates a pattern of high-energy photons banded around its dilithium crystal shell.
