Quadropoid

The Quadropoids are an alien race.

Biology
The Quadropoids are a molluscan species. Their bodies are conical, they possess several tentacles at the lower part of their body. At the center of the base of their body is a maw with many teeth, like a leech. A long neck protrudes, topped with a round head with four red eyes.

They are capable of taking over other species, latching themselves on their victim's head and burrowing into the brain. Though the body of the Quadropoid is apparent, some can actually bury themselves directly into the brain without leaving any marks or signs of their infestation.

History
Shortly after the Deathspiders infested Earth, a fleet of Quadropoids arrived. They began to launch an invasion of the planet, infecting the surviving populace. In addition, they directed their ships over volcanic areas, and started causing eruptions to start to encourage volcanic ash and blanketing out the sun, causing a nuclear winter.
