Budongs are space-dwelling kilometers long predatory creatures (its fangs are about a kilometer long). They eat rock and ice, but also have an extreme sensitivity to
electromagnetism; ships are like "electromagnetic candy" to a Budong,
making these creatures the "sea monsters" of outer space.
No known substance can survive Budong ingestion; their innards
are extremely acidic, and their eight stomachs are infernos.
Live specimens of the species are extremely rare - however, when
dead, their bones can be mined as, which are quite valuable. Mining
camps similar to those of the Yukon Gold Rush on Earth often spring up
on Budong corpses, and Peacekeepers use some Budong mining operations as
internment camps as the remains are nonetheless incredibly dangerous;
the remnants of the creatures' digestives system are a constant hazard
that have been known to decimate mining operations.
