They once roamed the continent-wide forests of Tin as the unquestioned alpha-predator.

*'''Interaction with Humans:''' The brutal use of Trankins on the captured human cruiser '''Triunfo''' was widely reported in the Empire, thanks to a seemingly endless stream of execution videos the Sett transmitted to Madrid. The most famous of these videos became a viral hit on Slaughter, featuring the 2-hour "battle" between Vice Admiral Colin O'Reilly and an aging Trankin. In it, the highly educated, highly decorated O'Reilly is clearly seen to lose his mind when faced with the 50,000kg beast, and proceeds to run around the ring of the coliseum in endless loops, shouting "Fekk! Dragon! Fekk! Dragon!" Among the sadism of Slaughter, this was made all the funnier when the pursuing Trankin learned and repeated the phrase.
