![]() Which given the Lovecraftian nature of the critter you may well have anyway. You'd pretty much have to have a "psychic energy" angle in your world to make it plausible. In any realistic scenario it would be much easier and filling to just feed on stellar radiation. Then of course there's the issue of how & why it feeds on intelligent species. Hundreds if not thousands of years between target systems, during which it will need to be in a basically-dead hibernation state ("In his house at R'lyeh dead Cthulhu waits dreaming.") You can model it pretty well from the more realistic generational space ship ideas. It would also take advantage of gravitational slingshots as much as it can (being intelligent would be very helpful here.)Īll of this means that the sucker is going to be very slow. Very little thrust, but excellent efficiency. Barring science fiction Warps and such, the only remotely plausible (still nuts, note) method I can think of is something like a planetary-scale ion drive, where it continuously accelerates and ejects a small amount of core mass at extremely high velocity. The creature could dump heat into its core when energy is plentiful (when near a star, or feeding,) and draw upon it when it's scarce (i.e. It could also serve as a giant heat sink/source to help stabilize its temperature. ![]() The host planetoid could be the source of most the raw materials for the actual creature. This would dramatically cut down on the energy required to reproduce, and give it a structural core that it didn't need to grow itself. the biological portion is only a relatively thin (though still stupendously massive) layer on top. An incomplete Moon can be destroyed by the Codex.But that's not much fun, so let's try and think of ways to make it even remotely plausible:įirst, the creature could use an actual moon or large asteroid as a core i.e. Intelligence: At least average, they can have a normal conversation with Isaac Clarke ![]() Standard Equipment: The Markers, Necromorphs Range: Interstellar range with Mind Manipulation and Madness Manipulation Striking Strength: Moon level, much lower via Necromorphs Speed: Likely at least FTL (Regularly travel across space), possibly Massively FTL (They traveled to the Earth from interstellar distances faster than Isaac and Carver could return via a Shock-drive) Assumedly, the other moons can do the same but to a vastly superior effect due to being complete), Should have all of the powers of the Marker (aside from Inorganic Makeup) as they are the final stage of the Marker’s life cycle, and as such should be massively superior: Biological Manipulation (Marker Signal can turn even living tissue into necromorph flesh given enough time), limited Energy Manipulation (via Marker Signal assumedly produced by the Moons naturally)Īttack Potency: Moon level ( They are moon-sized creatures, and barely larger), much lower via Necromorphs Powers and Abilities: Superhuman Physical Characteristics, Large Size (Type 4, is the size of the moon), Flight, Spaceflight, Natural Weaponry (It has tentacles, a fang-lined slit and a circular sucking mouth), Telepathy, Mind Manipulation and Madness Manipulation (Capable of causing the hallucinations by using their telepathic abilities), Necromancy (Reanimated corpses and turned them into the Necromorphs), Air Manipulation (The Incomplete Tau Volantis Moon could inhale parts of Tau Volantis via its “Mouth” in an attempt to kill Isaac and Carver. Gender: Technically genderless, but referred to as "Brother" Name: Brethren Moons, Brother Moons, Blood Moons They are believed to be the final life cycle stage of the Necromorphs. The Brethren Moons (Or Brother Moons and Blood Moons) are gigantic and space-faring Necromorphs which are discovered to be the source of the Marker signals.
