Name: Seven

Tribe name: Hive Gorgon

Dwelling: usually in tunnel networks in hilly areas

Numbers: ??? (There are a LOT of them, but only about 50 warriors like Seven)

Racial appearance: The Crozius are intimidating creatures. They stand on four locomotive limbs, their bodies sheathed in chitinous plates. However, their thoraxes stand erect in a centauroid fashion, their ‘necks’ and heads hunched over, giving them a predatory, brooding aspect. They generally have four more manipulator limbs, ending in clusters of fine hyper-dextrous tendrils, and are agile creatures, capable of scaling sheer surfaces or even hanging upside down. Their inscrutable faces usually have ten eyes. Six are lidless, dark onyx ovals, clustered at the front of their craniums. The remaining four are much larger, positioned around the edges of their faces. Relthoza are sensitive to bright illumination, but their close-range visual magnification abilities are extraordinary. Their jaws are fearsome; a mass of cutting and piercing implements. Dark legends from previous encounters asserted that the Crozius liquefied and digested living prey. In fact, they can subsist on virtually any organic matter and tend to disdain eating meat unless absolutely necessary. Their mandibles are capable of spraying a caustic goo. Crozius breathe with a complex network of channels around their bodies. They ‘speak’ through their cranial apertures, using fine muscle control to create a vast array of subtly different sounds. The Crozius language sounds like a musical score, and is regarded as extremely beautiful. Remarkably, they can also replicate other languages and speech patterns.

Weapons: They only use their natural, me-given abilities. These abilities include their hard exoskeleton, sharp limbs, meat-grinding mandibles, terrifying appearance, and acid spit. But due to their odd biology, their voices are smooth and melodic, and their language is complex and tonal. You might say that they have the bodies of demons and the voices of angels. However, due totheir curious anatomy and tendencies, they are incapable of manipulating most tools.

Species quirks: They are no longer a hive mind. Now they have developed into a cast system.

The giant Aval’ssor’siss Brood-Queens are their leaders. Each of them is the absolute ruler of a Crozius hive. Though physically formidable, mature Brood-Queens soon become virtually immobile egg factories. However, these long-lived monarchs exert enormous influence. The K’ss’ark (which is what Seven is) are the only Crozius males. Their only function in Crozius hives other than acting as royal consorts is as warriors. They are large and powerful creatures, and a mature K’ss’ark in an powered battle-suit would effectively qualify as an armoured vehicle. The humble Ss’virss are the bedrock of Crozius society. Small and nimble, they are engineers, technicians and administrators, toiling away patiently at the myriad tasks that hold the structure of a hive together. They are also the driving force behind much Crozius culture, creating such marvels as webbed sculptures and extraordinary musical scores.

Tribe quirks: Seem to be friendly with the Crozius.
