The Kerchu were small and furry orange creatures that were native to planet Jasindu. They were considered the second most foul and ill-tempered creatures in the Polaris Galaxy, second only to the Cragmites. The Kerchu were also some the galaxy's greatest architects. This building prowess, along with their large teeth, gave the Kerchu a resemblance to beavers. They rarely talked and were always building, but they were among the fiercest warriors in the galaxy in battle. No one could trespass on Kerchu territory without a fight, though the Smuggler claimed he was an exception to this rule (most likely due to his ability to sneak in useful technologies from across the galaxy). The Kerchu were also proficient in harvesting Gelatonium, and constructed the Underground Gelatonium Facility and the Sargasso Gelantoium Refinery. At some point, the Dimensionator fell into the Kerchu's hands. They hid it just outside the Kerchu Fortress, where it was guarded by the Kerchu Guardian.

History

The Kerchu engineered the Helios Armor, Pyro Blaster, and Buzz Blades. Two of these, the Helios Armor and Pyro Blaster, were similar to the armor and weaponry used by the Kerchu Pyroguards.

Biology

Although it was said that everyone in the universe was allergic to Kerchu fur, [citation needed] Ratchet did not seem affected by this when fighting them. Emperor Percival Tachyon also described the stench of a Kerchu as being similar to Blarg Dung.
