===Scuttlers=== | |||
These are small mindless creatures that attack and convert any organic matter they can come in contact with, preferably going after live prey first. These are the lowest creatures on the Hunger Caste system. They are used as cannon fodder and distraction against their enemies while the other castes focus on their specific assignments. | |||
===Hunger-ling=== | |||
About a four foot creature that stands on four legs, the front to raised considerable, the hunger-ling is the ground forces that fight and command the lower caste scuttlers. Vicious and able to use their telepathic power to implant fear in to the minds of their prey, the Hunger-ling is a dangerous force to face. | |||
=== Prowler === | |||
Sleek and quick, the prowler caste are sentries and spies able to watch and learn from enemy movement and inform the One-Mind "live" action reports. | |||
=== Gorgons === | |||
Large, 6 foot tank like hulks that utilize organic phaser technology to smash and pummel their way through heavily fortified structures. | |||
=== Arc-Plagues === | |||
The Talons are razor clawed Hunger with the innate ability to support the slower Gorgons and provide distraction and defense for them. They are symbiotic with the Gorgons. | |||
=== Dominators === | |||
The one mind is the central processor hunger who commands the ship, base, or facility. It is the command hub that guides the attack, plans strategies, and deal with the tactics of their enemies. | |||
=== Mutation === | |||
When a specific caste is decimated, a member of any hunger caste is able to mutate itself in to the needed replacement if it consumes the correct amount of bio-matter. This way, they cannot be decapitated if their Dominator caste is killed. The intelligence level is dependent on caste, but only the Scuttlers are mindless and unable to mutate to a higher caste. | |||
