Goal
None, utterly placid (or dumb, or fulfilled because godlike).
Description
- Metabolism
- Metal oxides-based heterotroph: lives off of metal (including on/in the voidminers).
- Intelligence
- Godlike.
- Reproductive Proclivities
- Has no function other than to replicate, like a virus.
- Senses
- Only senses via touch and either sound or smell.
Appearance
- Body Plan
- Plantlike or fungal (mycelial with fruiting bodies or spores).
- Size
- Minuscule, dimensionless, or a fog, perhaps requiring special gear to perceive.
- Color
- Absorbs 100% of light
Combat
- Attacks
- Two attacks per round for 2d8 damage each
- Successful attacks reduce opponents' dodge checks by -1, cumulative, for the duration of the encounter.
- Defenses
- DR 4, brain-dampening forcefield (if intelligent) or impenetrable hyperchitin plates with ultrasonic attack-spiracles (if dumb): every target that this alien can sense must make an additional dodge check every round or suffer d4 HEA and d10 GRT damage
Powers
Surface mind reading (free, can spend multiple rounds to go deeper); Can immolate itself in spectacular fashion in order to kill one pc outright and deal 2d20 damage to the rest
