Dust Bug

"Cloud, Swarm, Alien entity. We're not exactly sure what we are calling them" -Eli describing the aliens

Dust Bugs are microscopic insects native to a Desert Planet located in an unnamed galaxy. They were the first species encountered by the Destiny expedition.

Behaviour
Normally docile and helpful, the aliens float around absorbing any water source they come across. They are also curious; investigating other lifeforms they come across and will approach if they feel safe.

They are capable of developing rappors with other lifeforms once their trust has been earned. The aliens revived Matthew Scott on their homeworld after he gave them water. The same swarm even recognised Scott on their second encounter on the Ice planet.

They become extremely violent when provoked; swarming around a target and injuring it with mutiple lacerations.

Appearance
Individually too small to be seen, they resemble swirling dust devils when in collective groups. They can also reshape to imitate other objects such as faces of those they are familiar with.
