Native Species (Hexisan Creatures)

HEXISAN NATIVE SPECIES
Unlike the Milky Way, most creatures of non-sentient species have either been domesticated, put on wild life reserves or are extinct. The below creatures are those who still manage to live in the wild, regardless of the Hexisan Union's thorough exploration and coordination. Many of these species have special psionic features or metaphysical traits that make them unnaturally proficient at surviving in their native environment.

Crolothians

The Crolothians are subterranean creatures who live in the deep crusts of moons and dead planets. They start as mere microorganisms, but quickly grow into a full sized Crolothian within a year's time. They can grow so rapidly because Crolothians are non-biased as to what they'll eat. A Crolothian can digest everything from minerals within soil to other living creatures and even biological waste. Such is why the species has been given the nickname, "The Hungry Ones".

Crolothians are attracted to heat, though they do not need it (or atmosphere) to survive. Many explorers have found Crolothians attempting to eat parts of their ships, and have had to fend off the creature in order to not become stranded. Crolothians are very resistant to many forms of energy weapons and attacks, making them frighteningly persistent when attempting to devour their prey. Crolothians have a special gland that expels a thick gas, blinding live prey while the Crolothian creeps up from behind and devours them.

Brevian


These semi-intelligent creatures are humanoid in shape, and charged by psionic pollution within their environment. Top minds believe that the Brevian was transported from its native habitat to other Hexisan planets through Doom Squid (an intelligent psionic species that knows only destruction). Brevian appear to have rock like exteriors, though their actual flesh is rubbery and cold. They have no eyes, though their sense of smell and hearing are extremely keen. They stand between 1.6-2 meters in height and are extremely light weight for their size.

Brevian do not need a planet's atmosphere to survive, though the carnivorous creatures do tend stay around livable environments in order to catch prey. Brevian are frightening hunters, and often travel in dens in order to maximize their chances of catching food. Brevian hunt by sending dozens of spores from their body, a type of black bubble that uses a psionic-perception in order to find living creatures. Once the spore has found prey, it sends a message back to its host before exploding near the target. The explosion emits a strong neurotoxin that paralyzes prey. This paralysis lasts anywhere between ten minutes to an hour depending on the creature's hardiness, though most often, the animal does not last that long as Brevian follow the psychic trail given by their spores, devouring any prey while they are still alive.

SPORES
Move: 10 (Hover)
Body: 1D

Neuro-toxin: Upon exploding, a paralyzing Neuro-toxin spreads 10 meters around the spore. Anyone within this clear cloud of gas must make a Stamina check vs DC 21 or become paralyzed for 1D6 x 10 minutes. The victim is still conscious and can take mental actions, just no physical actions.


1D Sense Life: (Both the Brevian & Spores) The Brevian/spore detects all lifeforms within the range of this ability.

Rules: The creature rolls their Sense Life skill. Each target in range rolls their willpower. Subtract the willpower result from the creature's sense life check. If the number is positive, compare it to the chart below. This is the general result of the the creature's "Sense Life" detection ability.

Range: The creature's Sense Life Skill number X their PERCEPTION {12} in meters. This does not change or is not affected by the targets' willpower result.

Sense Life Result
1-5: General Knowledge- No details besides the fact that there is life around
6-10: Minor Details- Vague number (one, a handful, a dozen or so)
11-15: Moderate Details: Near accurate number (1-2 off)
16-20: Major Details: exact number
21-25: Complete Details: exact number and pace (meters moved this round)
26-30: Hidden Details: Exact number, detailed pace (meters plus, details like "running", "creeping", "Standing still")
31+: Supernatural Details: Exact Number, detailed pace, plus an outline of what they may be doing (typing on a computer, piloting a ship, holding a weapon)

Natural Hand-to-Hand Weapon: +1D to unarmed damage
Natural Ranged Weapon, Acid: 10/15/20 Range, 6D Damage for 3 rounds

***Implant Matured Eggs: This fertilization requires 3 steps.

1) The Kaynar must first succeed in a successful Hold Check (grab rules pg. 80, creature’s brawl vs target’s dodge/brawl parry, -3D unarmed damage)
2) The Kaynar can then spend an additional action to implant their eggs. Doing so requires a second successful brawl check. If the Kaynar successfully damages the target, their lance like abdomen pincer pricks into the flesh of their victim, spewing “ready to hatch” eggs” inside the target. The victim then must than make a Stamina check, DC 25, or be impregnated.

3) Impregnated characters go feral due to implanted neurotoxins, and attack anyone that is nearest to them, so long as they are not a Kaynar. This feral state lasts for 1D6 rounds. Once these 1D6 rounds are over, the eggs hatch, spawning dozens of Kaynar hatchlings (scale -6). The victim must then take an additional 5D in internal damage, and gain a permanent scar (if they survive), until healed from special methods.


Disadvantages
Short Life Span: Kaynar only live to be 10 years of age before dying off
Devouring Hunger: Kaynar must each their weight (scale 6) in food every day. If they do not, they must make Stamina checks or starve to death

Yaning (Yaw-Nee-Gah)

This highly evolved predator uses its stunning flashes of light to blind its prey so that it can devour them. They are found in caves, natural caverns and other confining areas, where they wait for their prey to come to them. Yaning are opportunity hunters, and will eat anything from rodents to creatures their size. Yaning are highly aggressive, and are the number one cause of wild life deaths in several systems.
