Race: Variant Scorpion Aberration (custom)
Class: Re-occurring "Villian" 1
Alignment: Neutral
Description:
The "Ziggy" aberration resembles, at first look, a monstrous scorpion (size dependent on life-cycle). The bulb of the tail hosts two eyes on either side that are nearly invisible until opened. The hidden chitinous wings are rarely used unless long distance travel is required in a general direction due to poor maneuverability.
This is a creature that evolves through interaction. Each time an ability is used on the creature it absorbs the memory of it into it's very nature. When close to death or killed, the gelatinous innards/goo begin to form into it's 'children'. Each baby Ziggy has one power inherited from the memory of the 'mother'. They swarm the chitinous plating, quickly devouring it as they rapidly gain size. Once the mother's body is consumed the siblings turn on eachother (except for 1 in 100 that run to spread the race) using their inherited ability to survive or kill the others. As their mother, the various powers/abilities are memorized when used against them even by their siblings. It is only during this initial fight with their sibling that they can obtain new powers that they can use, and only by eating the others to gain their base power.
