A gundark is a fearsome anthropoid from Vanqor known as one of the most vicious, strong, and aggressive species in the galaxy. These semi-intelligent creatures stand between 1 and 2.5 meters tall, with four powerful arms and large ears as wide as their head. Both their hands and feet end with opposable digits. Gundarks are covered in short brown or gray hair. Gundarks are often joked about by freighter pilots with remarks such as You look strong enough to pull the ears off a gundark which is most certainly a humanly impossible feat.
The Germ. The germ makes up the final 2 percent of the seed. It is the actual embryo and possesses the genetic material from which the new wheat plant will grow. The parts of the germ are the scutellum, which secretes essential enzymes and absorbs the nutrients from the endosperm during germination; the plumule, from where the leaves will grow; and the radicle, which forms the roots of the plant.
The result, however, is the same, regardless of the final temperature-the growth of the sprouts is stopped. That is because the maltster has what he is looking for, a dried barley grain full of sugar, starch and a particular kind of enzyme called diastase. After the grain is transferred to the brewery the brewer will add the grain to hot water. This will encourage the diastase to convert the starch into simple sugars.
