Aeternae – Fauna

Clad in thick, bony plating, the Aeternae is among the most nightmarish Fauna encountered by the PHR on the Tlalocan Moons. Its lizard-like physiology allows it to blend seamlessly into the landscape, while emitting no thermal signature due to its cold-blooded biology. The creature can unleash a freezing, plasma-like substance from its maw over great distances, compromising the structural integrity of any walker unfortunate enough to be in its path. Up close, the Aeternae is no less deadly, as its massive claws and triple tails make it a difficult foe to engage at any range.

Bioficer Scuttlers

Scuttlers are among the Bioficers’ most terrifying ‘creations’. These thin-limbed horrors move through shadows with disturbing, jerky speed, leaping onto their prey from air vents, ceilings, and crawl spaces. They carry no weapons but need only their questing limbs to prise victims apart into bloody tatters, preferably in full view of their doomed squadmates. They seem to have been created primarily to spread terror and have even been known to tap pipes and metalwork incessantly as they approach in a way no natural predator would. They are among the purest expressions of the Bioficer’s twisted, gleeful malevolence.
