The Mme'lzharu has been with spacers as long as there have been space voyages & some have argued that it has existed since before the Atomic Wars. The monster is psionically attracted to humanoid fear & feeds on the spinal fluids of the victim. 
The monster is considered legendary by some spacers but the creature moves with blinding speed & some cameras are unable to pick up its movements due to low light blending cells on the creature's back. The creature has remained aboard some transports & colony ships only to crawl out & strike when found. 
 Mme'lzharu attack with 2 deadly pincers & inject a cocktail of neuro toxin like substances that will attack a wide variety of humanoid life forms. The victim must make a save vs death or slip into to its effects within 2 rounds. The victim slips into a coma like state resembling death & then feeds on the spinal fluids at its leisure. 
 Many cultures import these creatures for a variety of sinister uses including miking the spinal fluids for military cyber applications, others use the poison for slavery & worse. The medical applications of these creatures is astounding but they don't do well under artificial conditions. Some cultures uses these monsters as guard animals for some remote installations & even guards!
