Starfinder: Splox

See this content in the original post

These creatures are large insects found on many planets. They are scavengers and work together in small packs. Never found alone, they work together in order to attempt to overwhelm ‘food’, taking full advantage of flanking.

They possess small vestigial wings, which allow them limited flight, making them quite agile and able to cross difficult terrain and other obstacles.

Being omnivorous, they will eat anything they find, be it living flesh, carrion, plant, it does not matter, as long as they can consume it.

Finally, despite their exoskeletons, they are able to contort their shape, allowing them to pass through openings that are no smaller than 6 inches. This means that they can often infiltrate areas that people believe are secure against such intrusions, often taking advantage of air ducts and other such locations on ships and in buildings.

When engaged in combat, as stated, they will attempt to flank an enemy target, although often one or two will attempt to slam into the target first, throwing the target off kilter and making it easier to attack. They are also more resilient to energy-based attacks, but do not enjoy any damage reduction.
