First sighting - Episode 3.07 "Thanks for Sharing" A creature used on Kanvia to ascertain whether someone is telling the truth or not. A Strannat can sense brainwave patterns and is particularly sensitive to the nervous wave changes (aka cognitive dissonance) that beings produce when they lie; furthermore, Strannats possess a barbed tail and can be easily trained to kill those they sense lying. However, an extremely disciplined mind can fool a Strannat and speak lies without danger.
A Strannat was used by the Rinic family of Kanvia to ascertain whether John Crichton was planning to destroy them or not.
