[IC] Xenian Wildlife Dossier

[Provingmedusa]

SPEAR-0

With the recent exposure to "newer" Xenian Wildlife in the Sector, I have taken it upon myself to create a dossier to inform and educate both Auxillary and Delegate alike.

A general theme around the new evolutions involve concealment and general adaptations to the environment.
Parasitics of all kinds appear to be coated either in snow or is a feature of their "skin". (Yet to be confirmed, advising retrieval of a body for further inspection.)

Firstly, the Parasitics.

As stated above, the actual fundamentals of the Parasitics have not changed. They still bite, leap and for the Viromes (Poison Parasitics) they still inject venom.

Operational Advisory: Eyes open when navigating through unclear terrain. Listen for their typical noises.

Xenian - "Arctic Bullsquid"

​

These Xenians colloqually known as "Bullsquids" differ from their standard counterparts.
Their blue skin pigment and darker tone overall may have been developed to aid in concealment, or may just be a cosmetic biproduct of evolution.

Their main fundamental difference is the change of projectile. They no longer project acidic liquid from their mouth, instead an unknown, freezing substance that is non-lethal at least upon direct contact.

While somewhat harmless alone, you can consider these variants a "Support" role in the Xenian ecosystem. After being struck with it myself, I can confirm it takes about two to three volleys to completely freeze a human.

Alongside not being able to lift a finger, unprotected individuals may be subject to illnesses that come from extreme cold, hypothermia being one.

Operational Advisory: Ensure you are near a teammate when engaged with this creature. Seek medical advice after being "frozen".



Delegates and Auxiliaries alike may append this file if they wish. Ensure a standard format of:

"Woodland Bullsquid"

Another variant of the Bullsquid species. Not too dissimilar in function. Its skin follows an intense acid green colour all around, brightening on its underneath.

Their method of attack remains the same, a potent projectile that is ejected from the mouth-piece.

What differs from the standard Bullsquid template is the projectile itself. Where typically, Bullsquids spit multiple projectiles, it appears these only spit one, large, acid ball.

Operational Advisory: Treat it as a Standard Bullsquid, be mindful of their projectile. Estimates assume it can corrode clothing and skin at incredible rates. Upon being struck with the acid ball, immediately seek medical attention.
