Discovered on the planet Parnack, the yahg are a race of massive predators.

The yahg evolved to fill the niche of apex predator on Parnack. Yahg have four pairs of eyes, each pair designed to track and predict the movements of prey. A keen sensitivity to movement and light allows the yahg to easily read the body language of any species, which makes lying to a yahg very difficult. The yahg also possess a large, muscular body which provides considerable physical strength and agility. They have scaly, partially armored skin ranging from red to brown, a triangular mouth adorned with sharp teeth, two large horns and facial markings on their heads. Their hands each have three fingers which include a thumb, as well as three toes on each foot. It's common for yahg to grow to well over ten feet tall and just about as wide.

When a delegation sent to Parnack acted as friends and allies, rather than subordinates, the yahg took it as an insult to them which prompted them to attack and kill the ambassadors. Since then, the Empire severed all contact with the yahg and declared Parnack off-limits. Fortunately, the yahg are not yet a space-faring species, thus minimizing their potential threat to the galaxy. Unfortunately, unscrupulous slavers and criminals are not unknown to land on the planet and take yahg children off-world to raise as perfect bodyguards. The Empire maintains that the yahg's aggression and obsession with control make them poorly suited to integrate with the galactic community.

A salarian research facility on Sur'Kesh captured and experimented on several yahg. The salarians planned to secretly uplift the yahg and use them to further their initiatives with full deniability in a similar manner as the krogan.

Yahg society is built around a Kratocratic pack mentality. A group of yahg will not cooperate until a single leader has attained dominance through either political cunning, social maneuvering or brute force. Once the leader is established, the defeated yahg do not hold a grudge and former rivals serve their new superior loyally.
