Heatleech are serpentine creatures, native from Toliman II of the Toliman system, but now found in multiple settled systems. They are known to feed from heat sources, hence the name. While able to
constrict and feed from living heat sources, they are mainly known as pests able to feed directly from ships' reactors (or any kind of reactor in fact), bringing their performances down. They are apparently totally immune to heat and ionizing radiations, being able to stay directly in reactors for days to months without any adverse side effects.
Unfortunately, since they are not studied by xenobiologists, very few people knows about how dangerous they can grow to be if left to their own devices long enough. This makes them a litterally omnipresent threat since they are almost everywhere in the settled systems, even in major colonies like New Atlantis, Neon or Akila City.
Notes[]
- Not much is known about these creatures, as many xenobiologists are disinterested in studying them.
- They provide Nutrient when killed.
- They are generally passive, but can be difficult to spot in dark places.
- Ironically, though not very dangerous at first glance, if given time and heat to thrive, they grow into Terrormorphs, an apex predator race able to slaughter entire colonies.
Trivia[]
- Heatleeches cannot be copied by Inner Demon.
