Drashigs
Mobile engines of consumption, these creatures are not mere beasts but living reactors—each one a voracious cascade of biomass and machinery. Their asymmetrical maws yawn from segmented, chitin-plated bodies that move with oily precision, their passage marked by the stench of ozone and torn Tellurian flesh. They advance in silent swarms, demolishing structural barriers as effortlessly as they shred organic flesh, their growth fueled by every scrap they devour. Vorg’s trembling admission reveals their origin: a derelict warship swallowed whole, leaving only the reactor’s scar tissue as evidence of their genesis.
