The Voyager Uncharted Entity Generator is LIVE! The following entity was generated with a click of a button... and then I crafted a model. If you play Voyager: Horizons Beyond Discovery, this is a pretty invaluable tool for coming up with entities to populate your hub-worlds and intergalactic saloons and what have you. ZHRAXX The zhraxx, a sentient species inhabiting the sixth planet of the Xeridian System, have adapted to the unforgiving, subarctic environment they inhabit, sporting a thick layer of insulation beneath their leathery skin along with a tough, honeycombed carapace that aids in defense against the elements and would-be predators. Walking upright on two reticulated legs, the zhraxx rely on their massive size and eight clawed tentacles to crush and rend their prey. Ten further tentacles may extend from orifices in a rotund sac suspended from the abdomen which are used as manipulators and aid in climbing the steep cliff sides endemic to the region. The zhraxx societal structure is divided into feudal clans where the largest and strongest rule by force. Beta zhraxx are kept in a slave-caste, and are used to build the ships, towns, and various infrastructures belonging to a warlord's clan. Due to their extremely social nature and their general lack of ego, zhraxx tend to accept their place in society and rarely up-rise against their leadership unless a stronger specimen has made a claim. Zhraxx clans have an aggregate Bronze Age level of technical advancement (Tech Level 1), though those that dwell outside the clan structures live in Stone Age or animalistic conditions. Zhraxx reproduce asexually, laying globs of gelatinous, spheroid eggs in densely insulated nests. Adolescence is a perilous time for a zhraxx, as only one in a 1000 hatchlings will see maturity. Born with a thick layer of fur-like filaments, a mature zhraxx slowly sheds these and molts as the carapace begins to form. Although distrustful of rival clans, the zhraxx have shown themselves to be receptive to otherworldly visitors, several clans having established trade with Separatist mining operations and Xeridian world-scouts.
