| A '''qothal''' is a large sea [[List of animals|creature]] found in the oceans of both [[Alluvion]] and [[Beta Gabriel]], [[human]]-[[Inner Colonies|colonized]] planets, having been seeded on both planets as part of the [[Conservation Measure]]. During the peak of the [[ecumene]], [[Forerunner]] research hunters took pride in successfully chasing and capturing qothal. These hunters, known as ''dark-divers'', would bravely attempt to extract a viscid fluid from the creature's muscular glands, which was highly desired by the [[Lifeworker]]s. Although the qothal were unharmed by the process, the Forerunner divers undertaking the task faced significant danger.{{Ref/Book|Id=EN|Enc22|Page=363}} | |
