Slukteevis Mentalis - apexevolved/site GitHub Wiki
Slukteevis are the Turuxian Brain Bug. the Lady Stealer and the Lords of the lost. most importantly they are a parasite that feed on the conscious and unconscious mental activity. The creatures they take over, suffer from walled in syndrome where their mind is active and aware but they have no control of their bodily functions.
Physical Description
outside a body they look like a crab with Pincers on each leg. Inside each pincer are four tongues that have toothed suction cups much like a leach. they attach to the largest nerve cluster taking control of all the bodily functions of a body. inside a body they can be anyone and everyone as long as the creature thinks there can be a Slukteevis Mentalis running the show.
Habitat
It is not known where the origin of the Sulkteevis was even they themselves do not know and they treat the brain and its maze of electrical synapses that they navigate to survive as their home. They can survive outside a host but they will starve after of 48 hrs. They can also suppress their aging as long as they have a host.
Population and Rarity
Sulkies are dealt with in most cases with distrust and poison. Because of this they are not very common. You might find a single host within a colony of one million people. This makes them quite rare.
Powers, Traits, & Abilities
- (Power) Body piloting is the inherent ability to take over a body leaving is a painful process for the host leaving them unable to use their own limbs. This is an inherently Gamma power granting a ego of 1 at character creation like any other power.
- Physical traits are all determined by the meat sack being controlled
- size is 0
- being asexual reproduction is a choice not a necessity. though they make excellent parents teaching their larvae for a full two years before helping them to find a host. the birth is a live generally dropping only one or two larvae.
- life is short for a lord of the lost on average only about 30 years.
- their claws though small are extremely tough. Able to pierce even the toughest hide or shell. and they have an armor piercing quality of 5. This is because there has to be a wound large enough for them to enter a body.
- Physical Telepathic Link. A Lady Stealer forges a telepathic link with its host. this allows for communication with the host and knowledge of the language of the host. This also leads to a tendency of telepathy.
- Sulkies don't feel the pain that there hosts are subjected to. Because of this they are subject only half the penalty from damage.
