Vast Grimm Core Creatures

Astro Zombies

Concept: Muttering growls, these hungry unliving shells are no more The Grimm than you or I.  Somehow their instincts run deep, leaving some form of muscle memory.
Astro Zombies will do their best to gnaw at you with their teeth, claw at you with their hands and then feast on your brains. They'll do anything to feed their hunger.

Big Würm

Concept: Far larger than any würm that could crawl around inside your puny body, this thing has done its share of eating.  Its six eyes look hungry as neon green saliva pools in its teeth-filled maw.

Cyphalite

Concept: These bionically-fused cephalopods are infamous across the 'verse for being hellbent on destruction.  Little is actually know about this species or what motivates their raging devastation.

Little is known about these nasty beasts.  Beware their ferociousness.

Labor Rage Bot

Concept: This synthetic beast is every former civilized citizen's nightmare.  Previously servant bots, these bots almost developed into sentient beings, but something went wrong.  Now they thirst for bloody and total revenge of the organic world.

Salazarite

Concept: Salazarites are known throughout the 'verse as Devilmoon Crickets, partially because of their jumping and partially because of the hell they unleash on their prey.  They have bone shattering mandibles, skin piercing teeth and a psionic connection with their kind.

The Salazarites are known to attach themselves to the hull of a starship.  As they leave the atmosphere, their bodies freeze.  The insectoids later thaw, coming back alive when returning to a warmer environment.

The Grimm

Concept: The Grimm will inhabit any living vessel they can.  You may find yourself up against someone from your old Legion or a mutated polar bear.

Easily distinguishable once fully overtaken by The Grimm.  Their eyes turn a bioluminescent blue with veins of electric pink. This color radiates from their eye sockets as it seeps under their skin until the flesh cracks.
