Spacebeast

Spacebeast is an extraterrestrial hive-based endoparasitoid species with a multi-staged life cycle. One of the deadliest of all known alien species, these creatures require a host organism in order to reproduce. The appearance of the Spacebeast can vary depending on the host in which the embryo is implanted. The Human phenotype is generally around 7–9 feet in height and roughly 400-600 pounds in weight, with a long, muscular tail and large, curved, oblong head.

The Queen of this species is generally twice as large (although some Queens have been shown to grow even larger, some surpassing 30 meters in height if given time) and possesses superior speed, strength and intelligence compared to her common offspring.

Aside from their repeated conflicts with humans, the Spacebeasts have notably been associated with Warriors, whom revere them as the most worth of prey. They have been known to deliberately breed the Spacebeasts from captive Queens in order to hunt them, often as part of initiation rituals for young Warriors..
