Definitely more like Vorlons. Only the SaVasku, and their Shadow-like
ship organisms, were invented before B5.

Well... Amorphous Deep-sea Ewoks half a block in size, squamous and
possibly non-euclidean, sort of.
Somewhere in the recent archives there's unconfirmed OU pictures of
them.
Ah yes...
Abandoned (possible) SaVasku ruins

Possible SaVasku - the ruins weren't *quite* abandoned after all.

Sorry about the quality of the images, these came at a low bit rate from
the robot drone that survived long enough to transmit.
Of course these may not be SaVasku, who by most accounts are aquatic.
They may be the equivalent of Guard Dogs/Robots, or (more likely) a
juvenile stage of the life cycle. Little ones. Minnows.
We don't know, and have no wish to find out.
